Inaugural Great Commission Woman Post!

My dear Great Commission Women, Sisters, and Friends,

Welcome to the the Inaugural Post of my new blog, Great Commission Woman. I've been wanting to do a new spiritual blog for some time, right here on Blogger. I like this venue better than my old standby, Xanga. I'm not saying I'm going to abandon Xanga, but this will be my new venue to post/ comment/ expound/ on all things Great Commission Woman-esque.

The event that tipped the scales for me was 2009 FaithWalkers. So much was said, and happened that I wanted to comment about/ and promote/ and feature. So...here goes nothing...and here goes a lot!

And this can be your site too! If you want to suggest something, be a featured writer, or comment, just have at it [but of course, I'll be the Editor-in-charge. ]

And now, my first thought, for the Inaugural Post: I suggested in my message called "The Great Commission Woman" [of course...we're onto a theme here, gals!] that if you don't have a Bible-reading plan, to get a NLT One Year Bible, and start reading it daily! I have resumed the daily reading of the One Year Bible, and I have been blessed and encouraged. I love reading Genesis and I love reading Matthew.
My verse from Jan. 3, is Matthew 4: 4: "People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every world of God."

This was a good verse for January 2, for Brent and I both did "DAWG Days": Day Alone With God, pray and fast days. Fasting...skipping meals, to show God that you're serious about seeking Him: that His word is more important than food, is such a good practise.

If you haven't ever had a DAWG day, or haven't had one for a while, it's a great way to start off the new year. Set apart a day, find a quiet place, and use the solitude time for connecting with God. Worship. Read long expanses of Scripture. Pray. Nap. Work on goals. Go on a prayer walk. Whatever and however God leads you.

Well, that's all for now. I look forward to talking to you again. Stay tuned. Adios!
