Happy New Year and Many Thanks!

Thank you for a wonderful kick off last night!  I'm amazed at how God reached in and touched hearts through the worship and teaching time.  

If you missed it, know you will be able to catch it on YouTube in the coming week or so.  I'll post more about it when it is ready to go.

As I closed 2012 and opened 2013, I thought of you women who I love so much.  I truly enjoy reflecting at the end of each year.  Each one holds its times of sorrows and joy…  failures and victories…  questions and answers.  

And 2012 was no different.  I faced loss and heart ache.  I cried tears until there were no more.  I had health scares, child scares and security scares.  I also had too many blessings to count, victories abundant and love overflowing. 

Thank you for letting me share the last part of this year my messy life.  And while I will keep on sharing the realness of my life in 2013, it will look a little different. 

This blog will take a bit of a different turn as I also begin teaching an on-line Bible study.  How it will all play out, I’m not sure.  I will continue to post weekly on the blog.  And, I do know we are on target to start for the on-line study to begin on January 23.  I will post a video for you to preview during the week.  I'll email some thoughts and scriptures to ponder and then I'll be available for a live class chat on Wednesday mornings from 9-9:30 a.m. and then again from 8:30-9:00 p.m.  If you are interested, please email me at hgillespie@fccn.org.  

While I'm unsure of all the technicalities, I am sure of the call God has placed upon my heart to reach women who cannot physically attend a Bible study.  I would cherish your prayers for clarity as I seek His desires for all of it. 

My prayer for you is this from Philippians 1:3-6,  “I thank my God every time I remember you.  In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy  because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

I look forward to what God has for us next!

Surrendered,
