GBG teamed with FRC at IBC!

Ok---that all means:

Girlfriends Bible Group teamed up with the Family Resource Center at Immanuel Baptist Church! (for those who may have had a confused look on their face)



Food Giveaway!

We had 7 of our GBG girls helping out at the food giveaway on Saturday. Personally, it was my first...and I didn't know what to expect. I did prepare myself for what I may see, just because it doesn't take much to get me emotional over precious children.

I can not put into words the awesomeness of Gods work that day. Before we knew it, people were pouring in and taking a seat around us waiting for their turn to get good to help them make it through Spring Break. Me, Malorie, Bobbie-Jo, Marci, and Hannah's jobs were to help the people with surveys, lend a helping hand to those who couldn't see well or write or even read, and walk the groups over to get their buggy full of food.

Talk about an overwhelming feeling. We sure do take for granted the necessities we have that come so easy to us. These people need help even just to have a good meal.

The kids were precious. So innocent and in need of our help. I admire the parents for going who did. I can not imagine how it made them feel to have to get help like that from strangers...but as a mom I know I would do whatever it takes to make sure my babies were getting what they needed as well.

Bobbie Jo and I realized we should NOT be paired up to do anything like this together. Every time we turned and looked at each other we had big tears in our eyes. Our hearts went out to these kids, and elders, and the entire families. At one point I had to walk completely away and get out a good cry.

How can I explain it better than God's work was in clear view on Saturday. And we are so thankful we could be a part of it.

Our other 2 girls were over helping to fill the buggies :)

Clothing Giveaway!

Tuesday, March 22nd is our clothing giveaway at the FRC. We still have time to get clothes together to send over there! Also if you are available to help volunteer that day let me know :)

I love you girls and I love what we are doing!

Jaime :)

March Meeting

Ok girls, are we all in agreement that the GBG just keeps getting better and better?!?!

I have known most of these girls for a very very long time. But seeing them in this way, in Faith, in hope, in prayer, and in the work of God is something new for me. And it's the best way I have ever seen any of us!

To those who had to miss our meeting, we really really missed you! And to those who got to come...

that was a phenomenal lesson from Beth Moore!

A few of my favorite notes:

"You can not amputate your history from your destiny!"
I am not sure. But I think that hit home for a lot of us. I know it did for me.

"History: Learn from and be humbled by"

Collosians  2:10
and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.


I learned a lot within our hour of study. I wanted to sit there and keep going! I hope all of our GBG girls are anxious and excited for our next meeting today.

If you havent had a chance to pay Malorie for your tshirt(s), please get with her and do so. Our shirts will be coming in soon!

The ROAR run is fast approaching. Remember to get your form in soon if you want the Roar Run tshirt, but we will be wearing our GBG shirts that day!

I am excited about the Food Giveaway this Saturday! Thank you to all who will be there to help. I keep reminding myself already to hold my emotions and keep it together...this is a GOOD thing and we need to keep a warm smile on our faces for these families! :)

One last thing.
Our meetings will change just a bit. We are going to try and keep our prayer list updated via Facebook, email, text, and phone calls. And unless its extreme important we will keep all info about 'roar run, community meal, and other upcoming events' on here..our blog, Facebook, email, etc etc.

Why do you ask?

Because we are going to take that time, and get to know each other better. If you have a story, share it. If something has happened in your life...look around the room and see the solidness of everyone to be there for you.

Many of us know each other, but there are quite a few who have a lot to learn. We have built a wonderful Bible group...now we can build trust, friendships, love, and prayer for each other.

It is a GREAT thing we are helping our community. But lets not forget that our main purpose is to be a Bible group...and we're expanding our minds and gaining more knowledge learning from the #1 book in all of our lives.

I sure do love me some Libby. Is she a mind reader? How did she know I needed someone to be my rock? hahaha.

This is also why we mentioned planning  the group trip to Dinosaur World, and to a Sounds baseball game. I promise I wont say "I told ya so" when some of you get to know others in our group and find how amazing of a friendship you have found ;)

Love you girls so much. Oh so much!

Thank you Leah for making our name tags! :)

Love this picture! This is a framer! :)

The Latest!

First I would like to thank the girls who were able to help volunteer with the backpack program last week! We got a lot accomplished pretty fast. Team work from women with the most precious hearts is phenomenal!


Tonight is our GBG meeting.

---Girls. We have a lot of info going out tonight to all of us. We have some very important dates coming up!

---Don't forget your tshirt money tonight! Malorie will be keeping up with the money until the shirts come in.

*****THIS SATURDAY is the Food Giveaway. If you have any spare time that day to come help out so many families, please do so! This is such a blessing for us to be involved with. I can only imagine how Saturday will impact so many of our lives by seeing Gods work in action.

----I will be bringing ROAR RUN forms tonight. Our team will be GBG! (of course) The race is not until April...but forms are due before the end of March if you want your tshirt :)

---We are planning a "GBG parents day" to Dinosaur World in Kentucky. Malorie will be getting the info together for us!! If you don't have a kid....we'll find one for you to bring! hahaha.

---The GBG is putting on a coupon class in April. This is a wonderful opportunity to help those in our community. Get with Meredith, and Malorie for more info. What you can do now, is to go ahead and start keeping coupons that wont expire for a while! :)

---Cards!! If you have picked up any cards for us all to sign and mail out to those on our prayer lists, remember to bring those tonight! :)

---Clothing Giveaway is coming up soon! I cant remember if it is the 22nd, or 24th of March. Either way...get your clothes together you dont need! Make sure they are "gently used". We ALSO need volunteers that day. After I get the exact date, I will put out a note on our FB wall! :)

---The Community Meal is April 16th! I will not be there, I will be out of town with the boys...but if any of you can go ahead and mark that in your calendars to be there...that would be great! Leah and Jamie have the info from that meeting on Monday.

---Sounds Games! It's that time of year----lots of junk food, ice cream in the hat....and the Nashville Sounds Baseball team! Everyone get a schedule and we'll plan a good date for us all to go with our husbands, kids and whoever :)

---Birthday list! We need to get a birthday list together of all the GBG girls, their children, and even spouses if we'd like :) Every one loves a little birthday cheer, right!?


So excited to have Beth come to our meeting tonight. She will be going over important info with us :)

Be sure to get there early so we can chow down on some pizza and get on to our Beth Moore study!

Love you fanbabulous girls so much! :)

Jaime.
