Last week Tapestry hosted their Virtual Marketplace Experience after taking a break from it... It WAS MAGICAL!!!

Started off >>> Celebrating the beautiful Pamela Zimmer for receiving the Crystal Reilley B.L.I.N.G. award. This award was first presented to Crystal last year for her dedication to ALL things TAPESTRY. Crystal leads her life with integrity and exemplifies servant leadership and what it means to embrace the Tapestry sisterhood. To encourage, empower, elevate and equip God’s daughters. It is who she is and what she does. Pamela follows the same path, shines bright for God, and exemplifies what it means to be a Tapestry Sister. It has been incredible to see just how beautiful these two women are in all the areas of their lives!!! Thank you Amanda Brown for all you do to serve The Tapestry Network of Reno. You are setting the example of leading well and loving BIG!

NETWORKING next>>> WE got to learn about each woman. One thing about her business, a win, something she could use support with, her ideal client/customer, and then each woman boldly professed what she is in Jesus!!

THEN>>> the beautiful Claire Winson had her talk, "For such a time as this, what it means to be called into the marketplace!” All through her talk, what continued to echo is each one of us has the ability to not just have impact on who we serve, what we sell, what we buy, how we use our gifts, talents and time… THERE IS A RIPPLE effect to EVERYTHING WE DO!!! She challenged us to truly be the salt and light for Jesus… despite what we see and especially what we see happening around us. WE ARE HIS CHOSEN and that is how we MUST SHOW UP!!!

THEN>>> Today, we showcased Anita Smithson and her ministry Sober by Grace (https://bio.site/soberbygraceministry), where she provides a safe space for any woman at any place in her addiction journey. ONE of the things that Anita does is sends out "Sober Celebration" gifts. Each envelope that is sent out has the most incredible thoughtful items to remind the woman receiving it just how special and important she is to God. We raised $140 for her today... BUT GOD!!! God MULTIPLIED IT - like ONLY HE CAN DO!!! One of the items included in every gift is a "sober coin." They are normally $6.40 per coin. Today, after our gathering, she refreshed her Amazon Wish List, and they had the same coins for a TWENTY FOR PACK for $12.99... LIKE WOW!!! So we were able to purchase 5 packs of coins (THAT IS 120 COINS) plus other times on her list. The normal cost for 120 coins would have been... $768 dollars... LIKE NO WAY!!!

SO TODAY I AM SINGING GOD'S PRAISES and THANKING HIM FOR JUST HOW AWESOME HE IS!!!!

Thank you to all the amazing women who showed up and made today just so incredibly special!!! You are dearly loved, chosen AND found!!!

Mark your calendars for Thursday, November 21st 10:30 am to 12:00 noon PT... Rose Parma is our speaker and Barn of Grace Ministries is our featured non-profit!!! Waaa HOOOOO!!!
