"All About God's Chicks"
Sunday, November 9, 2008

I had a dream one night, and really felt like God was calling me to reach out to God's Chicks. During these uncertain times, now more than ever, we need to stand firm on God's promises, and know what we believe and what we stand for. We have been called to live in a world that does not always accept us for who we are and what we have been created to be. One of my very favorite books is called God Chicks, by Holly Wagner. She reminds her readers that "God Chicks come in all shapes and sizes, all colors and styles!" Wagner challengers her readers to find out who they really are by discovering who God created them to be. By knowing who you are, you will know how to function in the world around you, and truly know your God-given purpose, without dissolving into it. "God chicks are a force for change on the earth," according to Holly, and I don't think I could say it any better than that.

Holly Wagner says that there are 8 different "aspects of womanhood." These are the 8 attributes that every one of God's Chicks possess. In order to help us know ourselves better, I will reference these various Chicks from time to time. They are the "just b u chick", the "princess chick", the "warrior chick", the "champion chick", they "friend chick", the "party chick", the "lover chick", and the "whatever-it-takes chick." Each of these chicks is alive in you somewhere, and is essential for you to truly love yourself. I believe that by loving ourselves, it is easier to have a deeper love for Christ and others.

I can't guarantee that I'll post everyday, but I will do my best to post as often as possible. My heart aches for our country right now, and I really feel like we as Godly Women need to stand up for what we know is true!
