Hi lovely,

Rise is next week!!

I can’t quite believe I’m writing that… it always comes around so fast!

Behind the scenes, things are definitely ramping up. There are lists everywhere, emails flying backwards and forwards, last-minute things to sort and probably several things I’ve forgotten about 😂.

But do you know what I’ve actually been thinking about most?

Not numbers.

Not whether everything goes perfectly.

Not even whether I remember everything I’m supposed to say!

I’ve been praying about you.

I’ve been praying that women walk into that room and meet with Jesus.

And so I want to ask you a question before we gather:

What are you believing God for?

Jesus asks a man called Bartimaeus a question that I’ve always found fascinating:

“What do you want me to do for you?”

Jesus knew what he needed, but he still invited him to name it.

So what would you say if Jesus asked you that question today?

Maybe you need direction, maybe you need peace, maybe there’s something you’ve been praying about for years.

Maybe you just want to feel close to God again.

…Whatever it is, bring it.

You don’t need to arrive at Rise with everything sorted.

Come as you are.

But come expectant.

We’re preparing the room.

Will you prepare your heart?

I genuinely cannot wait to gather with you next week.

Love, Beth x

P.S. We are partnering with The Pink Box Campaign and we are asking for each person who attends Rise, if able, to bring a sanitary product with them to donate to The Pink Box Campaign to support girls and women in the local area who are victims of period poverty.
