My Thoughts

Wanted to share with you all what is on my heart today. I feel that the Lord is working in my life, moving mountains as you read this to make miraculous things occur in my life. I’m sure he’s doing the same in yours if you are following HIM and seeking HIS will for your life. I am sooo wanting to do God’s will for my life. I wanted to share with you all, in case some of you aren’t aware of it already, and even if you are to remind you of one of my greatest passions. I have deep passion for allowing the Lord to use me to reach teen and preteen girls for him. As a matter of fact, youth in general are my heart and I feel very lead to reach them for Christ, not just that they come to a saving knowledge of him, but that they live for HIM daily and allow God to steer their lives in the right direction, that they honor God with their thoughts, their actions, their bodies. If you don’t already know, I am a youth/children’s director part time in my church.

However, I feel I have an even greater calling that this. I feel that I am called by GOD to go beyond my small church, my small town, and reach girls in many different areas, teaching them about living for and honoring God in all aspects of their lives. I am blessed to have been raised to live in such a way. I was encouraged, motivated, even sometimes pushed a little to love God with all my heart and to honor him with my life. However, I feel that it was all for my good and for God’s glory. Therefore, I am using what I have learned, what God has blessed me with to teach the girls of this generation to do the same. I have a ministry to girls, Beauty By Design Ministries, that has long been a calling on my heart.

Last January I was blessed to be able to create a website for it and this allowed me to begin to get the word out about my presentations and events that I do for girls groups and organizations, both in and outside the walls of a church. Over the last few days, I have been re-evaluating my ministry and realizing that I need to give it another push. I was honored this past year to speak in several churches and at several events, these include

• First Baptist Church, D-NOW, January 14, 2006, Kosciusko, MS
• First Baptist Church, Valentine’s Banquet, February 15, 2006, Winona, MS
• Bowmar Baptist Church, 6th Grade Mother/Daughter Retreat, March 24, 2006, Vicksburg, MS
• First Baptist Church, Mother/Daughter Spa Night, March 25, 2006, Winona, MS
• Promised Quartet Annual Memorial Day Singing, May 29, 2006, Coila, MS
• First Baptist Church, Spa Night, August 19, 2006, Bruce, MS
• Caree Jo Gammill’s 13th Spa Birthday Bash, October 21, 2006, Carrollton, MS

I am excited about next year and the opportunities it will bring. I am looking now to link up with anyone out there who is interested in my ministry. I need all the support I can get. I would appreciate anyone who would be willing to link to my website or blog, or help in anyway that you can.  I have met a lot of ladies online lately who like me believe in establishing these things in the lives of our young girls. I would appreciate the help of anyone who can help me get the word out about my ministry and possibly get some of my thoughts and ideas published in the form of online articles, and print bible studies and devotional books. Thanks for reading my long-winded thoughts!
