Girls' Ministry


Over the past few months God has really opened my heart and eyes up to understand the significance one life can play in another. Especially girls. I spend a lot of my time hanging out with high school girls and getting to experience what life looks like from their end. It's intense. Without even realizing it they are screaming to be led. There is an opportunity in front of each of us to be able to pour into another life. This isn't about us! It's about others. This week I've challenged my girls to go out of their way to show love for a person they wouldn't normally, and to understand the part they are playing is MUCH bigger than the status they hold or they school they attend. In turn, this challenged me as well. Ask yourself everyday how you've helped another. It wasn't a suggestion from Jesus. It was a command. The word "GO" echoes in my mind. We can learn all we want to learn and read all we want to read, but the action is what puts our faith to work. ACT.


Every week for the next few weeks a group of girls and myself will be taking trips to deliver this card to other women in ministry. We are so excited to see how God will use their experiences, heart breaks, advice and love to lead us. We've already had some excellent feedback. We come on our knees and expecting God to do great things.


To make your season beautiful, become a girl who lives for the glory of God. Become a girl who encourages others to rise up and be bold.



We will shine like stars in the universe,
Holding out Your truth in the darkest place.
We'll be living for Your glory!
