All kids Can!

We are lifting up All Kids Can this week as Mel is rocking this ministry out! They have a team, a plan, advertising and hopefully some money and some kids who need stuff to participate in extra-curricular activities.

Simply Grace is simply some women with a passion to do something extra for God, to give God glory by helping others...Simply Grace is not just being doers but reminding ourselves and others that it is simply about the Grace. No conditions, no economic equality, no justification...few expectations...grace. We need to demonstrate it because Jesus gave it freely when he gave his all for us...

These girls are sold out to make a difference. Join me in blessing them and lifting up the Simply Grace efforts and especially the All Kids Can as we gear up for school and all the programs we offer in the community.

Show us favor, Lord, and teach us more about who you are and how to share your love.

-respectfully, humbly submitted by Niki...the pray-er, not the do-er.

what's up?

Simply Grace girls are gettin' busy, that's what's up! Mel has a meeting for All Kids Can tomorrow. Lifting up prayers for that ministry. Lord, let the people who come to the meeting be inspired to help make it possible for kids to sign up for sports and activities even without the money to buy equipment. Let there be a spirit of generosity and sharing the burden so that those who have can share with those who have not. Keep it holy and humble, Lord, and bless the kids who will benefit from this program. Help them to know that it is because of you and your kingdom work that we want to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Also praying for Danielle as she puts the women's retreat together for the fall. God, just make the path straight and help her to navigate the planning stages. Give her passion and enthusiasm and confidence and a sense of what you want from this, what you desire to reveal to us in Romans 12.

Praising you, Lord, for the speaking conference Jen attended and the amazing connections you made for her, confirming her desire and place right where you want her to be learning and growing. Thank you that is was possible for her to do that and now speak to her, God, in the big and small ways, so that she can form the words you would have her share with others.

Me? Keep me praying. Keep my posture kneeling before you on weak knees with feeble arms lifted high. Help me to speak less and listen more and to cling to you, Father, to line up with you every time I think of it and to do less and less for the world and more and more for the Kingdom of Jesus.

Bless Simply Grace if it would give you glory, Father God. Amen.
