Welcome to S.H.A.P.E. VBC!

This week kicks off our S.H.A.P.E. Virtual Book Club!  Welcome!

If you haven't ordered your book, you can order it from Amazon and even start reading the first chapter  while you're waiting for your book to arrive.

Here's the plan.  Each week you'll read one chapter from S.H.A.P.E.  Each Monday, I'll post and invite discussion on that chapter.  The more discussion we have, the more fun it will be!  So, this week is simply an introduction. By next Monday, January 16, you should read Chapter 1: Masterpiece.  Make sense?

Here's the schedule:

For today, I'd like you to imagine that we're gathered in my den.  There's a fire in the fireplace and we each have a cup of coffee, hot tea, or other beverage of  choice.  One of you lovely ladies has brought a plateful of cranberry orange scones that are available on the coffee table in the middle of our comfy chairs.  If you have children, they are being happily covered by your husband who even sent you out the door a little early so that you could have a bit of time to yourself before you came over.  Sounds delightful, right?

So, let's get to know each other a little bit.  Let's introduce ourselves and share how you came to be part of this S.H.A.P.E. VBC.

I'm Cindy, and I'm convinced that as we get to know ourselves better and get to know God better we'll discover God's purpose for our lives.  I LOVE to mobilize women for impact and think this book has tremendous potential for helping us get moving in God's direction for our lives.

What's the one thing you want God to do in your life as a result of this study?

Through this study, I'm asking God to position me for His Kingdom purposes.  There are several things I'm interested in pursuing, but want clear direction before I move forward in any direction.  

How would you define a life purpose, or a life contribution?

This one I'm not going to answer yet, because I want to hear from you.  

So, leave me a comment, introduce yourself, let me know the one thing you want God to do in your life through this study, and tell me how you would define life purpose.  This is going to be fun!
