where are you God?

if you have ever found yourself asking this question, i would love to have the privilege of helping you answer it.

see...i am the kind of girl that opposes cliches and hates when people act as if i am the only one who has ever had any issues.
i believe that ultimately, we all share the exact same problem.
i am no different than you. you are no different than me.
pretty much, everything boils down to one or two root issues...
pride and selfishness are usually the culprits.

sure. they show themselves in many different forms, but that just about sums it up.

and so, i will be spending the next 6 sunday mornings sharing my heart with any woman who wants to listen!

i have been so convinced that any weakness i start feeling begins with a weakness in my time spent with God!
i mean it likes jumped out at me like crazy a few weeks ago.
God gave me this verse:
Zephaniah 1:7
Stand in silence at the presence of the Lord.

seem like a simple, easy-to-obey verse?
it blew me out of the water.

stand.
in silence?
just stand there?
but i want to defend myself!
i want to vent!
i want to get everything off my chest!
i want to ask for prayer! (wink wink)

and so.
this little tiny sentence has decided to come into my life and change everything.
everything about the way i think. the way i talk. the way i live.

and i hope that you will join me as i talk through what God has been showing me.
this is an invitation to all of my friends.

even my friends who are reading this and aren't quite sure that they want to hear me talk about the Bible...because, well, they just don't believe it.

even my friends who are reading this and maybe go to a different church. (i am not asking you to change your church, but if you can come to my class in the morning, it still leaves time for you to get back to your home church!)

i would love to have all of my homegirls come out.
i just love me some good, old fashioned girl time.

and if you are one of my peeps but live in a different part of the country, it's ok!
i will be posting my notes from the class each week. so you can kind of join me!

what do you say? want to give it a chance?
