DON'T PANIC!

We are only two months out from our PREMIERE event!

There is so much to do but so much that has fallen into place already. We are busy, busy, busy putting together the details for an awesome time together. One of the major changes that we have made is to add a younger generation track for middle school, high school and college age "girls".

We have some wonderful women that have joined our team and are excited to share their hearts with our younger girls. These young girls are the next generation of amazing women of God and we just couldn't leave them out. When we thought of adding all the ages we were worried about all the planning involved and then we heard a voice from heaven saying... Think Big and...

DON'T PANIC!

So, young girls you are in for a weekend to remember! Suzanne Legg, Founder and administrator of Dayspring Academy is heading up a leadership team that will deliver messages that will speak directly to the unique challenges that come with being a young woman of faith at this time in history. You will be encouraged and inspired and will have a blast all at the same time. Of course there will be fun and surprises!!

For the adult women, Cynda and I are excited about the word God has given us for this gathering. We have sessions planned that we know will reach in and touch the deepest part of your heart and others that are pure fun! We have a worship team in place that will lead us into the throneroom of heaven and a team from Dare to Dance that will get us moving!

Throughout the weekend we will be exploring all the different aspects of what it means to DIG DEEP, GET REAL, THINK BIG and DON'T PANIC. Together we will discover (and for some of us rediscover) the dreams that God has planted in our hearts and equip ourselves with the tools and the inspiration to reach our full potential and as a result reach a hurting world with the love of Jesus.

Heaven is watching and waiting for a generation of warrior princesses that will rise to do the work of the kingdom to bring hope to the hopeless and heal the brokenhearted.

Are you ready????

Can't wait to see you in January!

Love,
Tracey and Cynda

THINK BIG!!

It may seem like we have disappeared into blog-space but we have actually been very, very busy! So much has happened in just one month.

The date is set, the venue has been secured, hotel rooms have been blocked and plans are well underway for the PREMIERE of For the Girls International. We can promise you that this conference will be inspirational, motivational and full of fun and surprises! We have put together a conference team that is ready to make it happen. The other big piece of news is that we have a WEBSITE up and running. Check it out at http://www.forthegirlsinternational.org/ The front page takes a minute to load so be patient. You can register for the conference on line and all the dates and times are listed there. In the middle of all that, we managed to fit in a trip to California to attend the GODCHICKS conference which was incredible!
So, in order to make all these things happen, we have had to...THINK BIG!!

This is not a small vision that God has given to us. There are a lot of people in need in this world and a lot of women (and men of course) that can help provide the solutions. We meet women every day that are ready to join forces to make a difference in this world we live in and we are so encouraged by them.

Ephesians 3:20 says "Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us..."

God is ready and waiting to blow our minds. All we need to do is excercise the power of His Spirit that lives within us and stand back and watch Him exceed all of our expectations.

In Isaiah 58: 7 -11 (NIV) God promises that He will hear our cry and heal us when we are doing His work.

Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
You will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.

We can Think Big but God can Think Bigger!!

Lots of Love,
Cynda and Tracey
