Welcoming Elisha Glenn to the Family!

Psalm 127:3a

"Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD."

Born October 10, 2016

Elisha Glenn Waltman was born to Kaleb and Kristina Waltman on October 10th! Elisha and the family are doing well and are very thankful for a healthy baby boy. Due to this big event and adjustment in their lives, the October and November Winning Women newsletters are being combined into one. Please pray for them as they start this amazing journey of parenthood!

A Word on Children: Every child truly is a gift. Each one is born sinful and in need of our Lord and Savior, but each one is also completely and unconditionally loved by the same Lord and Savior. Whether young or old and whether well-behaved or not, see children as a gift. See yourself as a gift, loved by God. We are all someone's child. As Believers, we are all children of God, the ultimate gift.

Virtuous Woman: Excellence

FREE TO DOWNLOAD! Just click picture below.

Virtuous Woman is a 10-session, question-driven small group study that focuses on one of the four key values of FCA: Excellence. The goal of the FCA Virtuous Woman curriculum is to present to women in the arena of the privilege and challenge of learning and living out Biblical Womanhood in all areas of life.

This goal is accomplished by introducing character traits found in female biblical characters that they can model in their own personal life. It is the fourth installment of the Virtuous Woman series.

The Manly Minute:

Reconciling the male and female relationship

Encouragement to keep the eye on the prize.

We are all competitive and it is a fight to continually acknowledge that our talent and skill does not determine our standing with God. I continually look at my ability and try to do for God when in fact He is working for me and I am called to stay faithful. Being constantly encouraged to look to the greater mission and keeping my eye on His grace is THE ultimate game changer. Repositioning my heart to submit to the Lord is the goal and leads to my purity and joy.

He says it well. The word "FOCUS" rings throughout it. Focusing on what matters most. Focusing on where the true prize is. We, as women, should first and foremost be pointing the men around us to focus first on this true prize. This is done through our thoughts, words and actions around them.
