Emancipate Creativity

Ok so our Generation Sisterhood has been exceeding my expectations
each night we have gathered!

Last month the theme was 'Emancipate Creativity' and the night was out
of control zany and fun...
I spoke on the God bestowed ability for our feminine heart to be
creative beyond our natural abilities - it comes from being connected
to the Ultimate Creator Himself!
I read from Song of Songs again about the power of our womanhood ...
Song of Songs Six
Dear, dear friend and lover,you're as beautiful as Tirzah, city of delights,
Lovely as Jerusalem, city of dreams,
the ravishing visions of my ecstasy.
Your beauty is too much for me—I'm in over my head.
I'm not used to this! I can't take it in.
8-9 There's no one like her on earth,
never has been, never will be.She's a woman beyond compare.
My dove is perfection,
Pure and innocent as the day she was born,and cradled in joy by her mother.
Everyone who came by to see her
exclaimed and admired her—
All the fathers and mothers, the neighbors and friends,
blessed and praised her:
10 "Has anyone ever seen anything like this
dawn-fresh, moon-lovely, sun-radiant,ravishing as the night sky with its galaxies of stars?"

wow that's what God says about us!!!Do we believe it?
Do we live in this revelation?
Who we are is deeply creative!
What we do can also be creative!
Sometimes we have to stir up creativity within us... Put ourselves in
positions that cause us to step out...
So under every girls seat at Sisterhood that night was a creative challenge...
20 diff challenges and no one was allowed to swap!!!There was challenges like..,
go sing at a Karoake Clubsort out the plastics drawer in stilletos
ride a Harley davidson
lie under the clouds and discover shapes
sing in a choir
so the last one was mine and the only choir I could think of was my
daughters school choir and I told her I would come and sing there andshe stopped for a minute thought about it and then said "mum please
don't because you really can't sing"

so I'm yet to find another choir!!
For some of the fun had throughout this challenge the girls posted on
the GenSisterhood Facebook wall so check it out...
I'm going to write in my next blog about an amazing encounter one new
friend had with God that night and all the creativity that has flowedsince (just got to get her permission)

Anyway for the girls that were there thanks for being part of the
journey and for those who were not able to make it I will make the
teaching available asap!!

Have the best week and go be your creative best!!!Love you all

hello to a whole new world

Well this is a whole new world to me...blogging! and it seems i will love it even more to 'use all my word capacity' when my husband is away!!

It would be fitting to make my very first ever blog be about something very close to my heart…..the Sisterhood that we are apart of!

2010 dawned upon us with a great sense that 'everything changes' - including the way i was gathering the women in our world. So after much strategy, prayer, thinking, dreaming and some great encouragement from the men in our House we decided to take Sisterhood to the NIGHT! And i have to say it has been the best thing we have done in a long time. It just feels so fresh and 'graced' and works perfectly for my new season of motherhood of FOUR beautiful girls all under the age of 6!

So i am loving it beyond words and for those of you on the Gold Coast who have the opportunity to join us but have not yet been able to i just wanted to share a few thoughts that i have spoken over the women the past two gatherings..

I have allowed those nights to focus on both the beautiful young girls in our midst and hopefully still have the message relate to the mature women who surround us with wisdom and grace. I have been talking about STRENGTHENING THE GIFT OF YOUR FEMININITY and really sharing personally about my own journey.

Below are some thoughts and also a link to the message itself and some great pics!

Psalm 45:10-12 "Now listen, daughter, don't miss a word:
forget your country, put your home behind you.
Be here—the king is wild for you.
Since he's your lord, adore him.


1. TO STRENGTHEN THE GIFT OF YOUR FEMININITY YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO LIVE AS A DAUGHTER OF THE MOST HIGH

2. TO STRENGTHEN THE GIFT OF YOUR FEMININITY YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO LIVE IN YOUR FUTURE

3. TO STRENGTHEN THE GIFT OF YOUR FEMININITY YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO LIVE PRESENT IN THE NOW MOMENT OF GODS DELIGHT

4. TO STRENGTHEN THE GIFT OF YOUR FEMININITY YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO LIVE SHIELDED!!!

5. AS YOU STRENGTHEN THE GIFT OF YOUR FEMININITY IT DETERMINES WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT & DRAW OUT IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP

6. AS YOU STRENGTHEN THE GIFT OF YOUR FEMININITY PREPARE FOR THE ADVENTURE OF THE CAUSE DRIVEN LIFE!

I believe your gift of femininity is powerful beyond measure when understood in the framework of Gods plan & purpose for womanhood upon the earth. It is my personal commitment to see women (young & mature) discover & delight in their femininity.

If you are a local girl to the Gold Coast i would love to see you at our next Sisterhood event….

May 13th, 7pm
The Hub, 11Crown Court

Well – I hope this is what blogging is meant to be…

Until next time … with much love
