Our ladies group at church have just begun a new course called "Nurture" based on the book written by Lisa Bevere. Lisa Bevere is someone that I admire a lot. I read her book "Out of control and loving it" a few years ago and was astounded by her honesty. When our pastor told us about this course I felt so excited. It is all about directing women to walk in the gifting that God has given them "Nurture". We have only done one lesson so far but is was just beautiful. I know that I had a tear or two in my eyes! This is something that I have felt for such a long long time. For years I have sought out older women to 'nurture' me and for a long time I thought I was 'weird' in wanting this. I now realize that I am not alone! But it is my job to nurture just as it is to be nurtured.
I highly recommend anyone doing this course if it comes along. The book is very inspiring and Lisa is a great author.

My fave book of hers is "Kissed the girls and made them cry." I read that when I was starting to get my life back togther when Jaden was about 2. I'd been away from God for a long time and had gone down paths I thought there was no way back from and the raw honesty in that book was so refreshing and helped me find the courage to seek God again, a journey which led to a new faith in God, a lot of healing and eventually a husband!!
You sound so inspired, it's lovely to hear :-)
