'WOW' in this story...it has a dual meaning! "WOW!" because I'm encouraged and "WOW" because I was in the midst of true Women of Wisdom.
This past Saturday we officially kicked off Women of Wisdom at Village Oaks (the counterpart to Real Men).
The ladies from Parkland who joined us were awesome and Dr. King is a gem. She handed out valuable information on leadership training and how to conduct oneself in future meetings, and the ladies decided to have the meetings every second Saturday of the month.
We appointed a Secretary that will be typing up the meeting minutes and we will keep an official copy of each set of minutes in a binder so we can all use these as a resource at any time.
We had 2 ladies from a local community college attend as they are trying to kickoff the same type of meeting (WOW-type group) on their campus.
I haven't learned all of the ladies' names yet, but there are also co- and tri-leaders that have been appointed to help keep members accountable. The residents have shown ownership in this and I pray they follow through with it!
We are using W.O.W. as a foundation to REAL WOMEN at Village Oaks. As the group evolves, and they prove dedication on the W.O.W. level, I have promised them purple t-shirts with REAL WOMEN written in white letters!!! The group chose the color and is extremely excited to one day sport a REAL WOMEN t-shirt at Village Oaks.
I am encouraged. Hmm, look at what God did!
