how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!

Shortly after moving into the neighborhood, God put it on my heart to host a monthly group for young girls in the neighborhood. I started thinking of it because I overheard a conversation between a mom and daughter at Breakthrough. The daughter was telling her mom she needed to sew a costume for school. The mom laughed hysterically and said "no way, I can't sew". This conversation really got me thinking. How will these young girls know if they're good at anything? Are they using their hands, their creativity?

To make a long story short, God provided a team, ideas and 12 wonderful girls for the group. In May we hosted our first group. It was awesome. I really feel like God has a plan for this group. There is really something special about using your hands, talking and learning to be friends. We decorated flip flops and read the scripture about "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news". These little girls mean a lot to me. They have confirmed to me that God can use anyone. That he loves everyone and wants good for everyone. He never gives up. I am so humbled.

I have lots of dreams for us as a group, but for now I'm indulging in the blessing and gearing up to make toothbrush braclets! Praise God, he is so good!










Isaiah 52:6-8 (MSG)
How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of the messenger bringing good news,
Breaking the news that all's well,
proclaiming good times, announcing salvation,
telling Zion, "Your God reigns!"
Voices! Listen! Your scouts are shouting, thunderclap shouts,
shouting in joyful unison.
They see with their own eyes
God coming back to Zion.
Break into song! Boom it out, ruins of Jerusalem:
"God has comforted his people!
He's redeemed Jerusalem!"
God has rolled up his sleeves.
All the nations can see his holy, muscled arm.
Everyone, from one end of the earth to the other,
sees him at work, doing his salvation work.
