Halfway

Real Girls is at Impact at David Lipscomb this year for the first time. We are loving it and enjoy seeing God at work here. The praise and worship time is great, and the singing is amazing. Our classes have been great and the girls are all really opening their hearts.

Here is a sneak peek at this class:
You knit me
So I praise
You found me
So I live!
Our class is based out of Psalm 139 and goes with the "hidden" theme of the week. We are putting a RG spin and working through our self image this week. Please let us know if you want to come by and see us. The more the merrier! Have a blessed week.
And as always.....stay REAL!

P2 (peer pressure)

- everyone's doing it
- me too!
- wait for me
- it can't be that bad
These are all things we catch ourselves sometimes saying, huh? Don't you wish you never felt pressure to be cool or fit in? It would be great if we could just be ourselves and not worry about what others think. I know I wish I could be more like that! In the New Testament we see many times how Paul was great at this. In 1 Thessalonians 2: 4 (in the Message) it says:
" Be assured that when we speak to you we're not after crowd approval- only after God approval."
WOW! If only it were that easy right? Well, it is that easy. Start praying that God gives you a heart to seek after His will and His will only. Pray that you will want to walk away from crowd approval and seek what is right. I hope we can become leaders and then eventually others will want to follow us. Maybe we can set a new "peer pressure" standard. I would love to see the COOL thing that others feel pressure to do become the RIGHT thing to do.
May we be REAL GIRLS seeking after God approval.
Stay REAL!
