This is no ordinary life…

Sometimes we can go about our day and believe that we are just ordinary people.

Today was one of those days until I picked up the phone a few minutes ago.

On the other end?   A very nervous young woman who said,  “Two women came into where I work the other night and said if I call them they could help me.”

The women?  The girls from My Sister Song!  Remember our January outreach?

Girls, we do not live ordinary lives.

Because God is an extraordinary God.

Thank you, God for reminding me…You still fight for those in darkness.

Exodus 14:14  The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still.

 

   

From the pews to the pavement…

If you hang around CG Girls you’ll hear this quite often, ” We want to take God’s love from the pews to the pavement.”  I received two contacts this week that made me smile big and think just that!

We heard from Patricia from Penrickton Center for Blind Children… she writes…

Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for your kind donations of baby wipes, carnation instant cereal and hot cereal  to our center.  Your gift represents a vote of confidence in the programs and services we provide to children who are legally blind with at least one additional disability.

Springtime always seems to be a time for optimism for all of us here at Penrickton Center.  From an infectious smile to the twinkle in their eyes, we know that we have made a difference in helping our children overcome the obstacles that they face each day.  Every day our children seize life for all of its different joys and wonders.

Again, I want to thank you for helping our children thrive and live life to the fullest.   Thank you for the wonderful evening and for all you have done for our children!

Isn’t that the coolest?    And remember My Sister Song?  The ministry we helped in January?    Women who attended that event, contacted MSS to come to their church and do training to start an outreach to dancers there.  Isn’t that awesome?!!

Girls, God is using our events to spread His love from the pews to the pavement.

Lets continue to trust Him for Big Things … not just probable things …but GOD SIZE HUGE THINGS!

Shine brightly this week….where ever God has you!

A note from My Sister Song to CG Girls

Girls, this will warm your heart on this wintery day.

We received this email from Laura Urenda, director of My Sister Song.

Hello !

The last My Sister Song NEWSLETTER was at Christmas time and we just passed
Valentine’s Day with Saint Patrick’s Day just around the corner!  Man time
seriously flies!  The outreach are precious to us every single month,
but the holidays are especially fun since we try to do themes for the gift bags
as often as possible.  I really wish the recipients of the gifts could see
all that goes into preparing for the club outreaches, only so they would know
more fully the love for them that motivates us, which brings me to all that
went into the event held for us through COMMON GROUND at Connection
Church.  The theme of the event was “Sister to Sister” which brought
together women from all different churches, denominations, and backgrounds, to
not only worship together as one body and enjoy a time of socializing and
networking over yummy snacks, but everyone pitched in providing for a ton of
gift bags exploding with goodies for these precious women working in the
clubs!  The girls were genuinely excited and appreciative of the gifts,
and all who participated entered the clubs with us in spirit as we loved on the
girls keeping with the Sister to Sister theme that “Every sister is a
rose”.  So I want to give a heartfelt shout out to all the Common Ground
Girls that partnered with My Sister Song in order to bless our sisters in the
clubs.  THANK YOU & BLESSINGS TO YOU!!
