Film Shoot - Behind the Scenes

To be vain for a second... girl, you look good! =)

On a more serious note, I CANNOT wait to see these videos! I'm learning how to be comfortable with the gifts God has given me and use them to the best of my ability: administration, leadership, etc. Thanks for the encouragement today!

Trying to figure out what gifts God has given me. You would think at 37 I would know by now.

Priscilla and Rachel,

I am using my skills to honor God through the speaking/teaching and writing ministry that He has entrusted to me. AND Priscilla was a big part of that. My call to ministry came through a word she spoke over us at the Lifeway Women's Ministry Leadership Forum in Nashville in Nov. 2007. I have had the honor of telling her thank you personally, but I'll say it again.

Thank you, Priscilla, for being faithful to speak the words God gave you. You had no idea they would be used to call a country girl from the mountains of North GA to ministry. You simply said what God told you to say!

My consuming desire is to be faithful to what He has called me to do and to be faithful to stay in relationship with Him.

God bless you both.

Years ago I dreamed of being a counselor and helping others. Well, let's just say I got WAY off track. A few years ago (thank God) God helped me to get back on track. I have a heart for hurting women, especially those who are post-abortive. I lead a small group at our church for post-abortive women to heal. If you would have asked me 3 years ago if this is what I would be doing I would have laughed. I'm so glad God has a bigger plan! I am also in graduate school pursing my degree in counseling. I am just so in awe of God and how he just continues to open doors and take away my fears. I want all women to have the freedom that only Christ can give!

Bless you Priscilla!!

Growing up I never thought I would have a career in sales. And who dreams of sitting behind a desk selling truck loads of lumber? Ummm NO ONE and I certainly did not. God spoke to my heart and I realized that He just wants me to talk to people. I like meeting new people and the "job" is just the door to get to do that. I talk with people all over the nation every day and all i'm supposed to do is be Jesus to them through our conversation and of course sell when i can. Often i've found that people just want someone to talk to.
Soo many people hold so much inside and being a person who really does't know anyone in their hometown or in their church. The company i work for even encourages (believe it or not) making non-business phone calls to our customers especially when it's slow.

13 years later I am very thankful to have a position in a Christian based, family owned, small town company. On my way to work every day I pray that i can be salt and light in my office.
Thanks Priscilla for all that you do! You bless me so!

Priscilla;

Thank you for a simple and truthful message. I have believed that ministry for God could only be spiritual, then I read what Olympic runner Eric Liddell said about running. He believed that running was his gift and he knew that God delighted in him when he ran. He ran for God's glory. How beautiful is that?!

My background is in image consulting and I have put off building another business/ministry with it because I often feel that it is too shallow. But, God knows we have to start somewhere in order to reach His children. Oswald Chambers reminds us in My Utmost for His Highest that even the ocean has a shore. And even the Apostle Paul said he became all things that he might save some.

I have no excuse, but should seek God and His joy in using the gifts He has given me. Thank you for reminding me that my gifts are not about me, but about bringing glory to God.

Be blessed,
Monica

So often I have downplayed my gifts and the work God has me doing. It feels so small in the grand scheme of things. Over the past few years He has shown me it is my purpose in life, and more valuable than I can even imagine. I use my gifts loving children, teaching them, and planting seeds that I pray someday become very fruitful. Whether it is my own 3 children, the preschoolers I teach, or my dance students, I always try and love them with my Father's heart!

Every single day,we have a moment of silence at my school. And every single day, I say to God,"I hope to teach them so many things today Lord......but if they fail to get abolutely anything academically, please allow me to teach them something about YOU!" Boy, does He deliver!

They come hungry, cold, angry, rejected, deflated, and sometimes even ready to give up. What a privilege to serve Him by serving them, his precious children, in the classroom.

Hey thanks for posting---it's great to see some familiar faces while they are visiting in Texas. :) I'm getting to use my skills to mentor girls and their families. Such a blessing and honor. :) Can't wait to see these videos.

Once a mom, always a mom. I parent from afar since we have moved to the Dallas area. Now that my children are in their 20's, I am a mentor for MOPS and do some other volunteer work. Being able to engage with Christian sisters is HUGE!

I wanted to thank you for your sweet comments and know that I am pressing in!
Love,
Crissy

I am a Sunday School teacher and work in the church library. Right now I am unemployed and working on a book of quotations.Do you have any favorite quotes and by whom?

Before I answer your question, I have to say the most important thing I've learned, and that is, to God be the glory! Now that I've said that and can confidently say that my "big head" is not in the way, I can answer your question. I'm using my skills as a writer/teacher, and encourager to share the message of Christ with other women and to help them see how precious they are to our Lord and King.

God has allowed me to develop two ministry tools that have proven to be blessed-kissed gifts and works. The first is a women's study group which consists of approximately 100+ (and climbing) metro-area women from different religious backgrounds. The group- The Women and The Word- hosts a live bible class, and it has a supporting website which teaches lessons from the class, has a book club, and provides additional study material which further aids in spiritual growth and development. It is a ministry that allows all women a chance to use their gifts to teach other women. The second tool is a phone-based/online small group bible study. It is for women who want to dig deeper into the Word of God at an accelerated pace. It provides more intensive and expansive study opportunities.

All I can say is that God is mighty and He will not be stopped from what He wants to accomplish.

Glory to His name!

Humbled and His,
Kim

woah! I'm just impressed by how young the production team is! How wonderful to have found their areas of service/ministry with so many years (Lord willing) ahead!
