Fall 2019 Newsletter

Wow, It is hard for me to believe that the summer is over, Fall is in full swing and 2019 has only a couple of months left! 
2019 has been such a wonderful journey with amazing answers to prayer, hard work, fellowship, grace, friendships, surprises, times of rest, and continued healing. Above all, I continue to be overwhelmed with the love and grace of God... Watching Him at work in the lives of so many whom I am blessed to walk through this life with! I am so blessed to have a front row seat to watch God at work transforming His daughters! Watching as he loves on them and blesses them in amazing ways. To try to share all that I have been privileged to witness this past few months would take months to tell so I will share with you here just a couple of the biggest highlights. 
When the small groups took a break this summer I was able to engage in more individual mentoring with the ladies, especially several young moms. Being able to walk out Titus 2:3-5 brought me great joy as I witnessed lives being changed, relationships with their children improved and a deeper love for the Lord as these young moms eagerly sought after Him! I also was able to focus on the planning and training opportunity for the Ladies joining me for the Ladies Leadership Training Retreat held during the middle of October. This 3 day 2 night retreat was facilitated jointly by each of the ladies in this training group. Each one was required to lead at least one session and an activity. A couple of them led more than one. For example the lady who led worship for us, also facilitated one of the sessions. At the end of our time together I spent time talking to them, praying over each of them and then commissioning them to “go and make disciples” to know that God had fully equipped them to do what He is calling them to do now. I also made sure that they understand that they are not going to be able to do it on their own. As a “part of the body” they need the other parts to walk alongside of them, and even then, without Holy Spirit leading and empowering them their efforts will fall flat and or fail completely. As we wrapped up and returned home the ladies were already discussing opportunities and options for hosting a retreat in the spring for the ladies of their church, as well as planning new small group options!
This summer I also able to partner with a single mom who has moved to North East Florida by supplying resource materials for the start of a new Single Moms group in her area. The mission of equipping and sending them out to make disciples truly is what my ministry is all about!  
On a personal note, I was blessed to be able to take and complete the Dave Ramsey Financial Coach Master Training program! I received my Master Coach Certification from Ramsey Solutions and am already assisting others in this area of their lives. I recognize that the #1 issue facing 80% of families in America is financial challenges. And for Single Moms and Widows I would say that number is most likely around 95%. A huge issue! I hope to be able to educate and empower them to make the right changes in their lives to free themselves from the bondage debt puts them in. I am also facilitating a Financial Peace University class in Lake County currently and am thrilled to see lives being changed there for the better through that group!
During the last week of October, I was able to spend a week with friends and ministry partners in the Blue Ridge Mountains at Lake Cherokee SC! It was a wonderful time of resting, relaxing, continued healing and pressing into God to make sure I am still in step with His will for my life. As well as listening to make sure I am on track for all He is preparing me for in 2020. I find myself so very blessed to continue to minister to the ladies in Osceola, Orange and Lake county!! 

Stay tuned for some exciting updates as we finish out 2019 strong and step boldly into 2020 with a restored vision for all God is doing in my life and ministry! I am excited and a bit nervous to see what He has shown me for 2020. There are some creative additions being discussed for upcoming Ministry opportunities in our community that I have been asked to consider! 
Thank you for being a part of this amazing ministry!!! Together we are making a difference and having a positive impact into our community as we bring the truth of the Kingdom of God down to earth and into the lives of these families!
