Greedy is a strong word…I know. It didn’t sit well on some readers when I asked the question:

But, I want you to continue the conversation we started last week about being greedy for God’s presence.

Can’t wait for you to join me!

But, in the mean time, I wanted to share what I am praying for you this week:

Father God, Thank you for allowing us to form a community of young adult women who desire to make YOU famous in our life. This week, I pray that each of us will take some special time alone with You and allow You to pour into our lives in unique ways. Give these women the confidence to RISE UP! this week and do life differently to Your ultimate glory! AMEN!

Oh… and just for fun…want a great song to pump you up? Here’s one of my FAVORITE jams:

Have a wonderful week, friends!

**This is a life movement that I hope you will join me and other young adult women in RISING UP! and making Jesus famous in our life — in 2012. Here is the string of posts on this topic.

Warning: this is a pretty long video blog. I usually try to keep them to under 5 minutes but I had some important thoughts to share and a great invitation to extend your way. Thanks for investing 11 minutes to watch this video!
