Sista Gatherings

Image
I have been honored, privileged and abundantly blessed to lead Bible study gatherings for women for a few years now. We gather to meet with the LORD, to study His word, and of course, with to meet with each other. That's when His presence, love, joy and favor show up, too. It just happens. Since there's always so much of His love in our gatherings, the times are so sweet and the women connect. Personally, my deal is that God gives me such a love for you  sistas that I connect with who you are and, Dear One, if I call you my sista then you have blessed my life by being part of it. If you have ever attended any event : marketplace study, prayer group, neighborhood study, worship at church, women's conferences, commented on my books, or written on this blog or FB page, then you are my sista. I explain in this brief video that when I call you my sista there is no requirement, no fee, no membership, no private club, no roll call, jus...

Polly's Summer 2012 Book Club Study

Image
Hello, Sistas! Since most of us are on a summer break from our regular Bible studies, I'd like to invite you to join me in a six-week book club kind of study -- on your own and online! The study material is "Living Free" by Beth Moore. It's a passionate study -- of course -- that dives deeply into the word of God and deeply into our hearts -- if we're willing to go there! I personally went through this study several years ago on my own and used it as a personal prayer and devotional time to purge dross and spend very precious time with my Lord every day! I absolutely loved the experience. In fact, I was so blessed by this study that I am thrilled that I'm going to study this book again this summer! This time I am inviting you to join me. The small, paperback book is power-packed with truths and insights. It can be purchased online @ amazon.com (among other sites) and @ Lifeway Christian Stores. The cost is about $10. . If you don't want to participate in...

Whose Agenda Has Filled Up Our Personal Calendar?

Women want to be free. Free of heavy burdens of bondage like:  struggling to measure up to the world's ever-changing standards instead of God's expectations, smothering guilt, lonliness, debilitating anxiety  and stress. Women want to be free to live fully, love passionately and laugh hilariously. But I believe most women are worn out because we  accept lies about ourselves and so we overcommit to keep from being judged. We want to please. Most women are flat worn out trying to keep up with hectic daily schedules. It seems to be the American Way. On the other hand, let's face it, Sistas, sometimes the reason we're worn out is because we'll always find time to do what WE WANT to do but when it comes time to do something we SHOULD we say we don't have time. No? Hmmmmmm. Well, whose agenda has filled up our personal calendar: God's or our own? Do we ever say to ourselves, "Sorry, I'm just too busy!" or "Where ...
