Faith Sisters

I am so stinking excited about Faith Sisters that I can hardly sleep at night!

My friends Sunny, Karma and I have been feeling Gods call to do something BIG with faithbooking for the past two years at least. We keep saying well once this is done we will do this...or coming up with idea after idea and writing it down in a notebook. There is always something else big that comes up that distracts us from working on our faithbooking projects. It has been like this since we very first started talking about it.

We have watched several companies form carrying faithbooking products. We have seen magazine articles in the major scrapbooking publications on faithbooking. We have even seen faithbooking idea books being published. All the while we keep forming new ideas. I realized that God is not going to give us an idea and then wait until we can fit it into our schedule. When he gives us these ideas we need to act on them and carry them out. If we don't act he will move onto someone else that will act. We have already witnessed that several times now! God doesnt have to have us to carry out his plans!

Well we have learned some lessons. God showed me Faith Sisters in a dream! Seriously! Some of you might think I am nuts but I am totally serious! I had the most vivid dream about Faith Sisters and the things we were doing.

The really awesome part of it.....a month or so ago Sunny and I decided we were going to go ahead and buy a domain name. Sunny had come up with the name soul sisters and we totally loved it. Well it belongs to a porn site! YIKES! So we sat there that night thinking of ideas for our domain name. One of the next names we came up with was Faith Sisters. Crud....it was taken as well. We went through probably 100 different names and then just kinda gave up.

Well in my dream we were called Faith Sisters! So when I woke up I was already discouraged because I knew that name had already been taken:( I got the kids ready and took them to school. Then while I in the car it hit me like a ton of bricks...I have to get home and check if faith sisters is available now! So I rushed back home...thank goodness there were no police officers out that morning! I turned on my computer and sure enough FaithSisters.com had expired! It was available for us to purchase! WOOHOOOO!!!!

God used that little proof of his power to build my faith in our new Faith Sisters journey! From that moment I realized that this was his plan.....these ideas were given to me by him and he wanted me to fulfill these plans for his purpose!

I immediately contacted my faith sister Karma. All along Sunny and I have said that Karma and Josie would have to be a part of this ministry with us. Karma got just excited as me and started working on our website immediately! We called Sunny and the three of us had a three way call that lasted most of the morning! No more putting this off until everything else is accomplished.

I know that God is going to use this ministry in a huge way. I can feel it in every ounce of my being! The ideas that he is filling our minds with could only come from him. It is amazing too how completely in tune the three of us are to everything! Karma and I keep bouncing ideas off each other and just get so stinkin excited everytime something new surfaces!

This is going to be an amazing journey! A journey that will end only in heaven! Or who knows...maybe it will just continue once we are there!! I pray that this ministry will touch the lives of many. I am already recieving blessings from the ministry in the way the Lord is opening my eyes to so many possibilities. The way scriptures are just speaking to me so boldly everytime I read them! Amazing! Gods word is alive...and it is awesome to see its power in action!

So get ready Faith Sisters! So many great ideas yet to come. So many more plans to put into action.....but we have started the journey instead of just talking about it! I know the Lord is pleased that we have finally taken him out of the backseat and put him in control of our busy schedules! I can not wait to see his plans for Faith Sisters continue to unfold!

By the way...we are currently building our Faith Sisters design team! Email me if you are interested in submitting!
