New Workshop available for Teenage Girls!

“Not of this World”

Teenage Girl Workshop
Purpose:
The purpose of the “Not of this World” Workshop is to provide a hands-on learning experience that covers the topics of peer pressure, dating, modesty, purpose, friends, music, anti-conformity and other pressing issues teenage girls have to deal with in today’s society. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a foundation of what God’s Word says about the issues while also using hands-on activities to make it memorable, exciting and life-changing.
This workshop is to encourage that we, as Christians aren’t called to live like the world, but live a different life –the key verse is Romans 12:2, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Schedule Options:
The suggested time frame of this workshop may vary, but it’s recommended to be 3-5 hours (we can alter to fit your schedule). We also do Praise & Worship, scripture reading, drama and so forth.

Contact:
For more information/booking, please contact Lizzy Christian at:

Posters/Promo Items & Giveaways are optional & available!

Follow up from retreat #2: He makes BEAUTIFUL THINGS!

Girls, do you remember during our Q&A Session when one girl asked, "Do you think I'm beautiful? Am I beautiful?" I told you then and I want to tell you again - YES!!!!!!

I've heard this song on Klove so many times this week and it reminded me of that question - listen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR7VOKQ0xJY

Girls, "He makes beautiful things!" and He CREATED YOU! Isn't that an amazing feeling that the Creator of the Universe created you out of dust and made you the beautiful young woman that you are today - on the inside and out (and don't forget it).

Here are a few verses to write in your "HEART JOURNAL" to use as a reminder of just how beautiful you are:

Ecclesiastes 3:11, "Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end."

Remember this one?
Psalm 139:14, "For I will praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."



Stay in touch!

SMILE because the Creator of the Universe is smiling down at you because you are so beautiful! Keep spending time with Him and don't forget to write those verses down!

The Divine Invitation Retreat: Follow Up #1: Mother-Daughter Relationships!

To all you beautiful young women that I had the honor and privilege of spending some time with this past weekend - I just want to say thank you. Thank you for your honesty and openness about the issues girls your age are facing. I know it's not easy! I'd like to continue to stay in touch with each and every one of you as well as continue to discuss and grow in the topics we discussed and those you specificically asked about, in greater detail! At the retreat, we had limited time and I'd like to continue praying for you and talking to you as you continue to draw closer to God and dig deeper into your walks with Him.



First, one of the topics we talked about was Mother-Daughter Relationships. We watched the video clip from "Freaky Friday" (that wasn't such a good example of how girls should treat their mothers) and discussed having a Christ-centered relationship that's positive, encouraging, and honoring. You want to respect your Mother and honor her (remember Exodus 20:12?). One of you put a question in for the Q&A Session asking if you should tell your mom if you liked a certain boy. My advice to you then (and still is) that if you're honest and open with your Mother, a bridge of trust will be built. Trust me, in my relationship with my Mom, I found that being open and honest with her about things going on in my life helped build a very strong relationship between us. It's so important to sit down with your mom, spend quality time with her and share what God is doing in your life. Your mom is your biggest cheerleader and your biggest fan and wants to be apart of your life. Girl, she can give you good, godly advice and direct you to the Bible and to Scripture in times of uncertainty in your life. That's why, my dear sister in Christ, I encourage you to respect your mom (or mum as Mrs. Janell said), spend quality time together, talk to her, encourage your Mom (like in the letter I had you write----tell your Mom positive things that you LOVE about her and things that you specifically APPRECIATE that she does).

I'm praying that you would continue to build a Christ-centered, honoring, respectful and positive relationship with your Mom.


Today's Challenge: Don't talk back to your Mom, roll your eyes or get an attitude when she asks you to do something. Work on saying, "I'd love too Mom!" (and no, not in a sarcistic way)....offer to help your Mom make dinner, fold the laundry or simply stop to watch a movie with her! As Exodus 20:12 says, "Honor your Mother...."

Love,
Lizzy
XOXOXO
