Starting with worship before prayer shifts our focus from worldly distractions to God. Through music, scripture, and praise, we create an atmosphere inviting His presence. This strengthens faith, clears your mind, and prepares your heart for a deeper connection with the Holy Spirit during prayer.

 

 

Hey Ladies,

Winter’s officially here in Ohio, and I hope you’re all bundled up and doing great.

So, funny story—well, not so funny at the time—I accidentally sent out an email the other day that wasn’t meant to go out. I was juggling too many things at once (talking on the phone, working on a completely different email… you know how it goes), and I hit the wrong button. Oops! Super sorry if it caused any confusion—totally my bad.

Now that we’re diving into the Christmas season, let’s take a sec to remember what this time’s really about: Jesus. The best gift ever is love, because the ultimate gift we got was God’s love when He sent us His Son.

Have you accepted that gift yet? And if you have, have you fully embraced it? God doesn’t just offer us eternal life (which is already huge), but He also gives us this incredible love that brings joy and peace you can’t find anywhere else. He forgives and accepts us, no matter what we’ve done or where we’ve been.

Through His grace, He wipes out guilt, shame, and rejection and gives us a fresh start—again and again. He’s there with hope when we feel hopeless. Isn’t it amazing to think His love has no limits?

Oh, and speaking of amazing, we had the BEST time at the Paint, Praise, and Sing-Along event recently. It was my first time hosting something like this, and wow, it turned out so much better than I could’ve imagined. I sent out a survey to the ladies who came, and the feedback’s been awesome—so many of you are already excited about a future event! If you were there and haven’t filled out the survey yet, let me know—I’d love to hear what you thought. We’re planning to do it again in early 2026, so keep an eye out for updates!

Check out this video for a little peek at the fun and fellowship we had:

The Connection Corner

One of the things I absolutely love about the TWW community is the way we connect with other Christ-centered ministries and organizations. When we come together, it’s such a beautiful mix of people from different churches, cities, and states, all united by our shared faith. How cool is that?

We’re always praying for these ministries, asking God to use them to reach people, heal hearts, and fulfill His purpose in amazing ways.

Chat & Chew – Mamie Carpenter, Jacksonville, FL

Chat & Chew is an awesome group for young women that’s all about getting real about God’s truths in everyday life. We chat about everything from relationships to money to life’s ups and downs. Right now, we’re reading and diving into “Hinds’ Feet on High Places”, and it’s been so good!

Atoning Blood Ministries – Apostle Yvette Duffy

Mission: This ministry is all about serving Jesus first and foremost, then pouring love and care into families, the organization, and the community. They’re super focused on teaching, praying, and encouraging others to grow in their walk with Christ.

Oh, and they’ve got an incredible page full of prayer points to help you speak life over the New Year. Seriously, check it out here: https://www.abministries.org/general-5-1.

Upcoming Events:

  • Monday Morning Prayer – Every Monday at 6 AM
  • Heads up: There won’t be a TWW Fellowship, Encouragement & Empowerment Zoom call on December 27th because I’ll be attending a funeral that day.

Looking ahead, we’re kicking off 2026 with a study of John Eckhardt’s book, The Psalms 112 Promise. I read it recently, and it’s so good that I feel led to dig deeper into the scripture and lessons it shares. Unless something changes (you know how the Holy Spirit leads), our monthly Zoom calls on the 4th Saturdays will focus on this book. Can’t wait to dive into it with you all!

Hope to see you on Monday Morning Prayer Zoom, and I pray your Christmas is filled with love, family, and joy. But most importantly, let’s keep our hearts centered on what it’s all about: Jesus. He’s the reason for the season, always and forever.
