**God's Attributes Mosaic. On the Missional Women site we have a couple free downloadable/printable ministry events called the Prayer Mosaic and Discipleship Mosaic. The prayer mosaic is 8 stations that are set up with different things to pray for at each station. It is requested to do again and again because of how powerful the time is of connecting with the Lord. The discipleship mosaic is similar that it has 8 tables, but rather than being primarily a time of praying and connecting with the Lord personally, it is a time of connecting with a small group of people. The groups stay together and move to the next table station after having a theme they discussed with interaction at each station. Each of the topics are foundational topics that make for a strong multiplying disciple.

So the God's Attributes is in the works and will be available within the next couple months. It will be a combination of the Prayer Mosaic and Discipleship Mosaic. As in it will be a personal prayer experience yet with foundational truths that build people into stronger disciples.

Asheritah shares honestly about her own battles with food and reveals the path to freedom. You'll discover the joy of living free from food fixation so you can experience deeper satisfaction in Christ, gain a renewed sense of purpose, and yes, even enjoy good good (without regret).
