2013 was quite a year for Iron Rose Sister Ministries and for me personally as well. On this first Throwback Thursday of the New Year, I would like to take a moment to list, in no particular order, many things for which I was thankful in 2013, specifically related to Iron Rose Sister Ministries.
- A blessed transition out of local ministry and a move to Denver, Colorado, for the launch of this new bilingual global ministry!
- The books Human AND Holy, Humano Y Santo written, published, and distributed in 10 US states and 11 countries (not counting the US)
- A supportive and prayerful Board of Directors (Katie, Kim, Cynthia, Daniel & Ron)
- Iron Rose Sister examples being lived out with the women on the Board of Directors and many other Iron Rose Sister friends and supporters across the world
- The opportunity to answer God's calling that He use a humble servant like myself to touch lives across two continents through writing, teaching, and serving - all in an effort to equip, inspire, and empower each of you to do as He has called you to do through His Spirit
- IRSM conferences, retreats, or seminars in Baton Rouge, Houston, Venezuela, and Denver with plans for many more in 2014
- Completing all the paperwork as a registered non-profit business in Colorado (no small feat!)
- Seeing God use Human AND Holy to speak His truth and message of hope to others
- Women connecting more deeply to God and one another through Human AND Holy studies
- God speaking through me to challenge and encourage women at the various conferences
- Prayerful and financial supporters like you!
The process of typing this list is a humbling exercise in perspective and God's provision. May we all continue to trust Him to work in and through us as individuals, as a body, and as Iron Rose Sister Ministries.
What are you thankful for in 2013?
