All About the Soli Deo Gloria Sisterhood

First, welcome!  I am so excited to see what God does here on the pages of our computers, out in the wide expanses of the Internet, gathering sisters in Christ together to encourage and love one another, all the while bringing glory to the Savior.

And that is why the name of this meme is the Soli Deo Gloria Sisterhood.  Soli Deo Gloria is Latin for God's Glory Alone.  Really, at the heart, this isn't about the quality of our words, but about the living out of those words and finding hope and faith in Jesus.

All this to say, I'm so glad you're here.  I'm so glad you are reading these words now.  Please know that if you have found this, you have thus received an invitation to be a part of this fellowship.  We want to know your heart -- the good, the bad, the ugly.  In this place, there is no judgment.  There is encouragement, empathy, and love.  I hope to see your sweet face appear one week.

Soli Deo Gloria Weekly Party (a Link-Up)

Sometimes, us girls will get together and have a "flash mob" about one particular topic, but most of the time, the SDG link-up is simply a place where you can share whatever is on your heart.  We greatly value authenticity and vulnerability, so please know that whether you are happy, sad, living abundantly, or feeling destitute, we welcome you and seek to encourage you.  God knows, we want to walk together through all seasons of life.  Sometimes, you will find, you are the encourager and sometimes you are the one who needs encouragement.

Housekeeping notes:

{1}  The linky tool will be open from Monday at 7:30 PM (Central time) to Wednesday at 11:59 PM.  Please make sure that you have linked up with the permalink and not just with your blog address (if you have questions about this, email me at jenfergie (at) me (dot) com).  This means you need to have your blog post written on your blog before you link up.  

{2}  The content can really be about whatever you want, but the goal is to share about something meaningful that is happening in your life.  This is designed to be a safe place where you can ask hard questions.  However, sometimes we all just need a laugh, so if you have something funny, please feel free to share.  I can't tell you how many times a funny post has just whisked my sadness away.

{3}  I would love it if you would join with me in praying for this sisterhood -- that God would guard it fiercely, shower us with His love as we journey with Him, and open our hearts to what He would have us learn from each other.  Please try to visit as many sisters as possible so that we all know each other is reading and supporting us in our walk. If you have linked up before and you see someone new to the group, please make a point of visiting them.  

{4}  Oh!  One last thing:  If you are here and you don't have a blog or do not wish to post your heart on your blog, please feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section.  If you would like, you can leave your email address there, too, so that we might shower you with encouragement and love that way.   



Soli Deo Gloria Prayer Request Distribution List

I send out an email on Sunday, asking for everyone to send in a prayer request if they have one.  I compile them all and send out one email to the whole group on Monday.  If you would like to be on this distribution list, send me an email or leave a note in the comments.
