Seed of Inspiration: Brave Girls Club

I recently joined Sarah Whitmore's Soul Journaling Yahoo group. One of the things that she has there is a Daily Truth published by Melody Ross and her sister Kathy Wilkins.  Melody and Kathy have started an online community called the Brave Girls Club.  It is truly an inspiration.  Their workshops use art to bring women to an awareness of the lies that we are bombarded with daily as well as the truth that will set us free from those lies and false expectations.  While their message is awesome, I was concerned that perhaps it was born from a New Age philosophy and not truth from the bible.  So, I emailed and asked them.  Here was their response:

Hi, Jenn -
We don't generally bring scripture directly into our workshops as we include women from a wide variety of beliefs and backgrounds, but they always end up being very Christ-centered in a natural way. We talk a lot about our Truth Teller, and we teach that for us our Truth Teller is God (as for most of the women who attend our workshops).
Thanks for being involved with us in Brave Girls Club! We’re so glad you're here.

warmly,

kathy

So, I suggest that you check them out.  I believe they offer a positive message that many women, young and old, need to hear.  Also, I have been especially touched by their bold move to try to make a difference in the world.

My own journey to find God's purpose for my life has been working itself out in fasting, prayer, and through my art.  I have started a visual prayer journal, and the results have been a closer, more personal walk with my saviour.  Here are a few of my pages:









If you are interested in learning how to create your own visual journal, I suggest that you start with the 21 Secrets online workshop.  It will only be on sale through November, but the community stays open through January 2011.  You can learn more about it by clicking on the 21 Secrets button on my sidebar.

I hope you all are having a very creative and productive week!
