Woo-Hoo!!

Hey there girls! I just about sent myself into a panic attack when I looked at the calender and realized that the Ignite kick-off is in 12 days! Our sign up list keeps growing and growing and we are getting so excited we can hardly see straight! If you are landing here in search for a women's group, I hope you will come check us out on Sept. 8th! Feel free to just show up but we would love for you to shoot us an e-mail so we'll have at least an idea of how many to expect. We're trying to plan snacks, you know. :-)
Please know that this group is being bathed in prayer. We KNOW that Ignite was God's plan and can't wait to see what He is going to do with this group of women!
See you on the 8th! I'll be the one in that horribly bright green Ignite t-shirt with a Big Stupid Grin on my face! :-)

Simulcast Stuff

Hello Ladies!
My bad for not doing this sooner, but better late than never, right? I am happy to tell you that there were almost 400 of us that gathered at The Creek on August 1st and 2nd to hear the Word! Isn't that awesome?! According to Beth, there were over 70,000 of us gathered in over 700 locations, so if my math is correct and we look at the average.... that would make us one of the largest groups! Very fun! Thanks again to all of you who came and my prayer is that each of us will hide the Word that was sown and persevere until we see that hundred-fold harvest! Bring it on, Lord! Bring it on!!
I'm also very excited to tell you that we raised over $6,000 for Shepherd Community Center! Woo-Hoo!! Thanks to all of you who so willingly gave. What a huge blessing to Shepherd!

I had every intention of attaching some pictures from the weekend but much to my dismay, ALL my pictures turned out blurry (big fat bummer!) and I can't even figure out how to attach them anyway. That's on my list of things I need to learn. In the meantime, I would love to hear some of your simulcast stories! I have heard some good ones and can't wait to hear more!
God Bless,
Paulette :-)

A BIG FAT thank you!!

It's one thing to believe that God is faithful, it's an entirely different thing to KNOW He is faithful. Girls, we KNOW God to be faithful! This past weekend is a huge testimony to God's faithfulness! We believed Him for it and He showed up in a huge way. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it all.
I plan on sharing details of the weekend in a later post, but for now I wanted to use this forum to say a BIG FAT thank you to ALL of you who volunteered. Wow. You all were awesome this weekend and it would not have been the success it was if you had not given of yourselves the way you did. I am forever indebted to you and count myself as one blessed woman to have been given the opportunity to serve alongside of you. I also want to say a special BIG FAT thanks to Laura and the praise team - man, you all were just flat awesome, and a BIG FAT thanks to Andy and Mary for running all that technical stuff. :-) None of this would have happened without you.
And I want to say a very heart felt thank you to the girls that worked so closely with me on all of this. Those of you who prayed with me, cried with me, encouraged me and did everything that I was unable to do. You know who you are. I love you dearly.
"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." Zeph 3:17. Ladies, take some deliberate time this week to know that your God is delighting in you and rejoicing over you with singing over a job well done.
I love you all so much. :-)
