The Gazebo


We're keeping this simple, Sisters. 

This is an ongoing invitation for you to gather with gals who believe God moves mountains when we pray. (Matthew 17:20). 

We meet in the gazebo in the center of the city. This started with one woman. Then another faithfully joined her. They represented different generations and different churches. Yep. Awesome.


These two ladies met for several months on Fridays and continued to pray for the city, the local businesses, all the people who live and work in the city as well as countywide. They also prayed for our state, our nation, the world and the people who dwell in it.


And now there are SIX sisters who gather on Fridays at the gazebo! By the grace and favor of God, the little group is represented by three generations from six different churches! Love it! 


And the group is flourishing with God's blessings of the encouragement of answered prayers, and new friendships! 
Before going to the gazebo the ladies often drop in Peter Williams' Cup Up Coffee on Main Street for a cup of gourmet coffee and a green iced tea.

Often a few of us have walked across the town square to share a delicious quick lunch at R & M Hoagie Shop.

Any women who work in the Historic Downtown Loop are cordially invited (to bring a sandwich) on your lunch hour and join us at the gazebo! 



Uh-huh. Just like the sign says, "Fridays. Noonish.  [anytime between 11:30- 1]. Whenever you can make it. Just drop by the gazebo!"

For His glory, His love, my joy,
Polly

The Sista is Truth Hungry

“..the truth will set you free” John 8:32   Hey Sistas, does any of this sound familiar? She has a major case of battle fatigue from believing lies from her dark enemy. She’s been absorbing these lifelong lies about herself: that she’s worthless, good-for-nothing, and unforgiveable. She is truth hungry! Sometimes it’s so hard for her to feed herself the truth of God’s word because she’s exhausted from trying to resist the deceitful voices screaming in her head. Sometimes she gives into the lies and then clothes herself in guilt, shame, fear and anxiety. Her weariness wakes up her old belief system and it creates sleepless nights. Even her daylight hours seem to drag on and on. However, since she’s a Christ-follower, this doesn’t happen to her every day, it’s just when she doesn’t put on the spiritual armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).   “If you hold onto my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). The blo...

soul starving...anorexic faith

Image
If I don't take a few brief moments to talk to God before my feet hit the floor in the morning, then I'll be starving my own soul of the strength and nourishment I'm going to need for the new day. I'll be hungry listening to my own voice, focusing on my own circumstances, and coming to my own conclusions about life. Yikes. Huge mistake. Why? God created me, saved me, unconditionally loves me and generously cares for me and I would ignore Him? "He is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He himself gives all men life and breath and everything else" (Acts 17:25). BOOM! So if I chew on this truth for a while -- that all things come from Him and He controls everything -- why wouldn't I be hungry to know more of this Magnificent Savior? Frankly when I'm really physically hungry I do not like to wait to eat. I don't normally put off eating when I'm famished. Nope. I want to be fed good food, real food, nutritional, life-giving ...

The Wisdom Lady

Image
🎶  Worship Leader Grace Balint sings "Stronger"  🎶 I've met the wisdom lady.  I first met her many years ago in the book of Proverbs. God had just opened my heart to know Him so I was ready for the wisdom lady to open her heart to me! When I read her practical, rich words of life  I thought to myself. "Wow. Really? This is powerful. This is good stuff. This is so simple and wonderful...and these beautiful promises!"  Yep. Since then she's become a mentor to my soul. But not before God sent me through many painful storms and dark valleys over the years to show me it was not wise for me to try to control my little world. Hah! I admit it. Control issues cause pain. It means we're trusting in ourselves instead of trusting in God.Yikes. That's called idolatry!  But I hope I've become a teachable, willing student. I will say I'm wholeheartedly convinced that to be hungry for wisdom is how to receive her holy hospitality! The wisdom lady promises ...
