GROW
Good Morning! It has been 8 months since I last blogged on this site, because the devil got in my way. He told me it was a waste of my time, no one was reading it any way, it was useless and futile. Have you ever been in that place? I find myself there a lot, but this morning during my bible devotions I decided that I would try this again. Discipline is the key... in most everything we do in life. I need to discipline myself to read my bible every day, to walk on the treadmill, to check my messages on my email account and I need to discipline myself to keep better communications in the work that God has called me to do.
Our Sunday School Lesson this week was about commitments. We all have commitments in our life to our marriage, our children, our jobs, our family, our bills, our friends, but most importantly as Christians, we have a commitment to God. Where are you in life in honoring your commitments? God expects us to honor our commitments to Him and to others. I think one of our problems in society today is we over commit ourselves, therefore, automatically setting ourselves up for failure.
Pray for me as I try and discipline myself to honor my commitments.
"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
There is a lot going on at Turner Ridge right now VBS is this week and there were as many children there last night as there were workers. This says alot about the willingness to serve the Lord that Turner Ridge has. Remember to pray for the children and workers this week.
We are also busy preparing for the church Mission Trip to Inez and Haven of Rest. Please pray for the ones going on this Mission Trip and the families they will be impacting.
Pray for our Women on Mission Group and pray for me as I try to center myself in the middle of God's Will for my life. I am trying to GROW and in the fast paced world I live in with all my commitments and obligations, I sometimes forget to water myself. Join me in Growing in a deeper relationship with God and in honoring our commitments.
How can we begin our journey?
1. G - God first, listen for what God is saying to us.
2. R - Read, read your BIBLE, water yourself, spend time in the Word.
3. O - Obedience- Be obedient to God's call in your life. Obedient to reading the Bible and serving.
4. W -Worship- We need to worship and serve Him with all our hearts.
On a scale of 1-10 how well are you keeping your commitments to the Lord?

Beth Moore Simulcast at Mainstreet Baptist
I wanted to update everyone about the Beth Moore Simulcast at Mainstreet Baptist. It was incredible! We had a great time. Sheila Wright, Shonda Justus, Kelly Miller, Lacy Jones, Sherry Price and myself attended along with 300 plus other women at Mainstreet. It was being simulcasted all over the world in China, Japan, Canada, you get the idea. Such a great spirit and presence of the Lord was felt.
I will be looking for more events like this to attend this year, I hope you will be able to join us on some of them.
The key points from Beth Moore Living Proof:
1. We were created for "Good Company" I pray you surround yourself
with good company.
2. An individual calling can only be fulfilled in a "we" context.
3. God never over looks a single "me" in the bigger "we".
4. Jesus became a friend of sinners so we could become a friend of God.
5. We can rely in the certainty of the things we have been taught.
6. Jesus has passed the salt.
7. We are now the convincing proofs that Jesus is alive!
Praying all have a blessed week.

Younique Gifts & Talents
Missons Camp was a huge success and I want to thank Loran Brown for all her hard work organizing the camp.
I would also like to thank all the workers who came and helped out and the parents who came and brought their children.
It was a great time of fellowship for everyone who came and a time of growing closer with God. We had morning and evening devotions, bible study, mission groups and evening worship, along with lots of fun on the rope courses where we learned alot about team work, zip lining, tye dye t-shirts, music, dance, art and more.
We made new friends and three were added to the Family of God, Allie Dixon, Jenna Brandenburg & Rosie Duncan.
We talked alot about the gifts and talents each one is given and how we can use them to Glorify God.
Our Missions Celebration is being planned for September 18, 2011 at 2:00 and your going to want to be there!
Our guest speakers are Miss Loran Brown and Miss Devin Harris wait to you hear how God has been using these ladies and their Younique gifts and talents to bring glory to His name.
I will also have information on how we can help Miss Amanda Bruin with
her mission trip to Honduras this year. Hope to see you there.
So, I leave you with this question, "How are you using your Younique gifts and talents to bring Glory to God?"

Unhindered!
What hinders you from hearing God's call in your life? Have you thought about that question? There is so much noise in the world today. Take time to sit down today and be quiet and listen.... What is God saying to you? Find a nice quiet place, get out your Bible, get your journal and spend some serious time soul searching pour out your heart to God and then just be still and listen. What is he saying to you ?

TRBC Women on Mission
Welcome to the Turner Ridge Baptist Church Women on Mission Blog Page. The purpose of this Blog is to try and help all of us stay connected in this busy fast paced world we live in. I am new to blogging and will need you to be patient with me as I try and figure this out. We have an awesome Facebook Page but I wanted to create a way that we could stay connected on line for those who do not have a Facebook Account.
Change a Life, Change the World continues to be the motto for Women on Mission.
This year our theme is God's Spirit Unhindered!
Our Bible Verse is Hebews 12:1-2 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perserverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes upon Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
What we do as Women on Mission
1. We pray for and give to Missions
2. Do Missions
3. Learn About Missions Lifestyle
4. Participate in the work and outreach efforts at Turner Ridge Baptist Church
As I look back over our past year we have been very busy and it has been an exciting year for missions at Turner Ridge Baptist Church. We are planning a Missions Celebration for September and more information will follow when I speak to a few ladies and have a date set.
We are also looking forward to the Beth Moore Simulcast on September 10 hosted by Main Street Baptist Church. There are sign up sheets in the front and back of the church or you can contact Christy for more information.
Family Missons Night in July we had an awesome time of bible study and fellowship we read from Matthew 25: 34-46 and gave a report back from the mission trip the church took to Whitley City, Ky.
Last night I was able to go with the R.A.'s,G.A.'s and Acteens as they visited the Bedford House and sang Happy Birthday to the residents with birthdays this month. This is a great ministry and it was fun to watch the youth participate and sing to the residents and the smiles on the faces of the residents. They brought Jesus love to the Bedford House. How Awesome is this!
We are looking forward to the Missions Reteat next week at Potter's Ranch. I am so excited to see what Loran has planned for us. Aug 4-Aug 7.
Our group is responsible for the food for the Friday night meal if you can help with this please let me know.
I leave you with this question to ponder, What hinders you from hearing God's call for your life?
That's all I have for now. With much love til next time, May God Shine His Glory Upon You!
