Ladies in Faith Together (LIFT) - Becoming Myself: Embracing God’s Dream of You by Stasi Eldredge
Tuesdays at 6:30pm, September 19 - November 7
God has dreams just for you. This book is hope-filled for anyone who wonders if her life will ever change, if she will ever change. God desires to restore us, and he is able to restore us, the real us. As he heals our inner life, he calls us to “rise to the occasion” of our lives. The most important journey any woman can take is the one into becoming her true self through the love of God. It’s a beautiful paradox; the more God’s you become, the more yourself you become, the woman he had in mind when he thought of you before the creation of the world.
