Yada Yada Prayer Group

I love to read a good book. The best kind of book, in my opinion, is te kind that makes my heart swell...the kind that inspires, provokes tears, and makes me wanna dance! Well, I've been reading this series called "The Yada Yada Prayer Group". It's about a group of extremely diverse women who attend a women's conference in Chicago. They get thrown into a small group together and, following a series of events, they continue to meet long after the conference has ended. Their prayer group represented different worship styles, backgrouns, cultures...a plain-old melting pot! I just finished the third book and...ugh!...lemme tell you!...I can't wait to read the next one!


As I think about our church, I realize that we don't have a very diverse group of people...at least as far as race is concerned. When it comes to backgrounds, however, we are like a regular U.N.! lol.

Someday, I hope to be able to lead a small group for junior high girls. Reading these books has given me such a different view on the potential of this small group. These books have created a new vision...a group of girls from assorted backgrounds, friends groups, schools, and steps in their walk with God. We could not only study various scriptures and/or books, but we could share our days, pray on each other...actually WORSHIP and PRAISE together. Oh, what a beautiful thing that would be!

I pray that God would continue to grow me and equip me to fulfill His amazing plans. Cause...lemme tell ya!...I'm finding more and more that my God is a crazy God! He's got a sense of humor like no other! Just when you think you've got it figured out...haha! Not anymore! But, luckily, He says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." and "I know the plans I have for you." Thank God for His promises!
