I wanted to let those of you who live in the Nashville area know about a few opportunities for you to connect this week.

This Thursday night I’m opening my home to any of you who would like to come. Operation Worship is a ministry that sends Bibles to the troops overseas with a special message inside each one thanking these service members for their service. A while back, I connected with them on Twitter and they sent me two packs of message cards to fill out. Once they all have messages on them, we’ll mail them back and the cards will be put into Bibles to be sent overseas.

Please come this Thursday night, starting at 6:30 p.m.,  and help me thank our troops for their service! You’ll be doing a great service for our troops as well as getting a chance to talk and connect with some other military wives! My house isn’t large but if you need to bring your kids you are more than welcome too. If the weather’s nice, we can sit outside and they can play or I can set up a movie for them to watch. And if you don’t like writing notes, then just come for the fellowship!

This Saturday, July 25, is a pre-deployment briefing for the 278th (National Guard) at Allen Arena. Wives of Faith was asked to have a table there. 800 to 2000 people are expected. We are going to simply pass out fliers and let the wives who come know about our group and our website and that we’re there to support and encourage them as they start this deployment.

I could use some help if any of you would like to come and be a part of this. You have an opportunity to pass on encouragement to someone else, so come!

Set up time is between 7 and 9:30 a.m. and the actual event is 12:30 to 3:30. You don’t necessarily have to be there for set up or the whole time of the event, but if you could commit to at least being there an hour, that would be a big blessing and help.

Lunch at the Cheesecake Factory! For any of you in or near the Green Hills area, let’s meet for lunch on Saturday! Even if you can’t help with the pre-deployment briefing, you still have to eat, so come and get connected with other Wives of Faith ladies. I talked with the manager this morning and though they normally don’t take reservations on Saturdays, she will make an exception for us so let me know by Wednesday if you’re planning on coming.

Here are the details: The Cheesecake Factory, 2133 Green Hills Village Dr, Nashville, TN 37215, 11 a.m., Saturday, July 25.

To RSVP or get directions for any of the above, email me at sara at wivesoffaith dot org.

Also, on a personal note, so sorry for not posting anything last week! Cliff is away for his two-week AT and I hate to say it but I have not done well at juggling things while he’s been gone this time! Summer is definitely always the hardest time for me. I would certainly appreciate your prayers.  We have plenty of room for other ladies to blog here on this site so if you are a military wife with something to say and enjoy writing and blogging, please let me know. I’d love to have you!

Hey everyone,

well, the blog has been a bit quiet lately but that’s because so many of us are so busy getting ready for our first weekend conference that starts THIS FRIDAY!

We are so excited to welcome women coming from all over the country to our first conference. It will be a small group but we are looking forward to having some great fellowship and learning a lot from each other.

I also wanted to let you know that our message board is finally live! If you can’t make the conference, feel free to connect with other Wives of Faith ladies on our message board. It’s brand new, so we need bold talkers and conversation starters to speak up! (You know who you are! )

This week, we will also wrap up our 100 Days “This is the Day to Pray” prayer campaign. Thank you so much to all of you who participated in this endeavor. If you have a story of how the prayer campaign blessed you, please let us know about it.

We will have lots to share and pictures to show after the conference. (We still have a few spots open if you’d like to come!)
