People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light coming from within.
- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
This website is for women of all ages, stages, sizes, and ideas. It is for those of us who like to be in the front row and those who remain in the back. It is to inspire us all to live as Christ intended, to live as we were intended -- a community of sharing and encouraging each other’s unique abilities. This site is for the dreamer, the organized, the scholar, and the recluse, so that together, in the patchwork of God’s amazing creativity, we can find our true essence and contribute to a better world!
As emerging women, we believe emerging women want a voice. We know there are some of you who have been on this amazing ride for years and want to share and acquaint with and inspire others. We know we have a lot of work ahead, but together, we can use this site to connect and meet others along the way as we add our voices to the conversation. Welcome! We are glad you’re here.
"We must understand and embrace the idea that our conceptions of Jesus are not Jesus himself. Sometimes when we talk about having faith in Jesus we're actually asking people to believe in our trusty conceptual framework rather than in the person of God." -Anonymous

We need your help!
We are looking forward to bringing you the articles, blogs, art, & links that will inspire, assist, encourage, and challenge you. If you have an emerging spirit and would like to contribute to the discussion, by all means -
We need articles, 400-600 words, and shorter pieces of 200 words or less. How are you living outside the walls? How are you inspiring others? What has changed about you? Do you have a talent that you want to share and feature? How do you take God's love to the world?
We like to say that our new way of celebrating our faith and sharing ourselves with others is living with soul-value. What is Soul-Value ? It is a life which has nothing to do with excess, power, fear, or greed, not programmed or legalistic, and not lived through victimization.
