Some of the things we have in the works are Quarterly Meetings, Yearly Conferences and Home-based Community Groups around the tri-county area. (Pasco, Pinellas, and Hillsborough in Florida) We are excited about discovering the needs of women in this tri-county area and putting all you talented girls to work to help meet them. With your help we can change the lives of women right here in our backyard for the better and show them God's love in a very real and tangible way! With an eye on future projects, we have made contacts with orphanages and missionaries in several countries that are looking forward to our help, and we believe this is just the tip of iceberg.
As part of our preparation for FTGI, Tracy Weber and I (Tracey Metzger), traveled to N.C. to attend the She Speaks conference put on by Proverbs 31 Ministries.
Lysa TerKeurst of Proverbs 31 Ministries played a major role in confirming the vision for this ministry. You can read about it on my blog. One of the highlights of the conference for me, was during one of the worship segments. The worship leader, a young woman named Lindsey Kane, began to sing an acoustic version of the song "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield… you know the words…you can bop your head while you read them…
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you (my favorite line)
Only you can let it in (my second favorite line)
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten...
It just hit me... here we are…just "staring...at the blank page before us" just waiting to see all the incredible things God is going to do through FTGI.
Please be praying with us for the lives that will be touched, the friendships that will be made, the inspiration that will be given, the healing that will be received, the freedom that will be experienced, the love that will be felt and let's not forget... the FUN that will be had!
Lots of Love,
Tracey and Cynda
