Is PreSisterhood for the weak? No!!

Last Saturday we had our Pre-Sisterhood meeting in Houston and we talked quite a bit about the story of Jacob and Esau, and how Jacob's heart changed from a cheater to a man of faith. His name changed to Israel - one who wrestles with God!

I asked our girls, "Is it right for you to wrestle with God?" Most of them stared back at me and shook their heads, "No..." What a surprise to learn that the answer is YES!! We need to be gentle, kind, gracious, loving and sensitive to other's needs, and at the same time, be bold and assertive in our prayers with God. He loves bold faith!

Can we accept sadness and depression? No!

Can we be afraid of bad news? No!

From Baby Sisters to big men of faith, God wants all of us to be strong in believing that we are safe in His hands, and that all evil is under our feet. God was so happy and pleased when Jacob wrestled with Him. Let's always be girls and women of faith who please God just like Jacob.

What is the Pre-Sisterhood?

Young girls from 6-14 who are members of either the UCKG or SiLC, are eligible to join this special group that nurtures and challenges them to grow and aspire to become women of God. They are challenged with spiritual and practical tasks, have fun gatherings once a month, have a Big Sis who oversees them and checks up on their development, and more than anything, they become strong in their character, faith and self-esteem.

The Pre-Sisterhood exists under the umbrella of the Godllywood organization that also includes the Sisterhood, and V-Woman groups. Ask in your local church branch if there is any Big Sis who can guide your daughter through a month of initiation to enter the group. For more answers, read the Q&A's in this link to the Godllywood group.

Godllywood Girls No-No's

As much as we want to believe that all our girls will automatically be wise in their choices and behavior, we know that a clear list of what not to do can help keep them stay on track. Moms and Big Sis's help your girls to stay away from these items here!

Black, blue, green or neon nail polish
Tattoos
Piercings
Tight pants
Jeans or sweats in church
Dresses or tops with low necklines
Peeling nail polish
Bad grades in school
Disrespecting parents
Disrespecting teachers
Gossip
Jealousy
Lying
Bullying
Flirting with boys
Laziness
Watching TV programs that promote immorality

Each time a Godllywood Girl is found to be practicing any of these items on the list, she will be given a strike. She has up to 5 strikes before she will be removed from the group. Her behavior and attitudes will determine if she is a natural, a mediocre, or a straggler.
