God called me several months ago to start a women’s center. A place where women could receive love and assistance, whatever their need. I was surprised, scared, honored, humbled, ecstatic, you name it…. so many feelings and thoughts ran thru my mind when I realized what the Lord was asking me to do.
But I began taking one day at a time and following His lead for that day. I know that is sometimes so difficult to do. I am trying hard not to run ahead and do things before He says it is time. Pray for me in this area, that I will constantly seek His will for each task, that I will hear Him clearly, and trust Him without any doubt and fear. For I know that my God is more than able. If He brings us to it, well then He will bring us through it. Not just barely getting it done, but doing it with excellence. Why, because we can do all things thru Him. He gives us His abilities to do what He calls us to do.
Since then, we are officially incorporated in the State of Alabama as a non-profit corporation, Sanctuary for Women, Inc. We have a Board of Directors, with five members. We have adopted By Laws as well. Praise God!!! He has sent so many faithful helpers to us. We have this website set up, a Facebook Page, and many who have volunteered to assist when we open for business….We are currently working on our tax exemption, the 501 C 3 application with the IRS. Not much fun, right. Well it is almost complete. All we have left is creating brochures, flyers and our first newsletter. The next step will be sending the application in for approval. Pray for God’s timing and assistance in the approval please.
I will be posting our status along the way and letting you all know the progress and needs. I trust you, my friends, will pray with us for guidance and great provision to get this work accomplished. Thank you all for the encouragement an support you have provided so far!
God Bless you all!!!
