Proud to be ME!
A Letter from Our Founder...
I
10
YEARS IN!
am excited, honored, and humbled to look over the past 10 years and see all that God has blessed us to do. From working in the schools and community, completing two books, empowering people to walk in their maximum potential, and helping girls attend college, it has been our joy! When I hear a girl quote our book Girl Talk in a conversation with a friend, or see a woman walking confidently through the mall with a smile in her Walk in It t-shirt, I am elated. Thank you to all of our volunteers, supporters, and partners who make our work possible. Thank you to the schools who open their doors to us. Thank you to the parents who allow us to work with their daughters. Thank you to the young ladies and adult women who have slipped on their shoes of potential and started walking! Walk in It is my calling and passion. I find joy in making other’s lives better and more fulfilling. To sit and reminisce about the fact that over 10 years ago Walk in It was a dream, brings such gratitude. I encourage other “dreamers� to go for it. Walk in it because sincere passion and sense of purpose goes a long way. To our future partners, we welcome you! Join the movement of integrity filled individuals trying to make an impact on girls and women in our community. From mentoring, to tutoring, to community service, to personal empowerment, and beyond, our work continues. Thank you in advance for your donations, encouragement, and support. I can only imagine the great things that we can do together in the future! Walking In It,
Jennell Riddick

Women: Spend Wisely
The Do’s and Don’ts to Financial Freedom
by Whitney Hopler,
A
lthough many women’s spending habits have become fodder for jokes, dealing with the results of compulsive shopping, credit card abuse, gambling, or other unhealthy financial practices is no laughing matter. A woman’s place isn’t in a mall or a casino. It’s in following the steps of God. God, not money, should be in charge of your life. Here are some ways you can break foolish spending habits and develop wise ones: Tell the truth. Admit the reality of how you misuse money. Acknowledge that you are powerless in making healthy financial decisions without God’s help. Commit yourself and your financial situation to God. Recognize the emotions behind your spending. Think and pray about how your emotions influence the way you spend money. For example, do you shop to lift your mood? Do you try to buy someone’s love through expensive gifts? Do you crave adventure and hope to find excitement by gambling? Only God has the power to truly
fulfill you. Confess your emotional longings to Him and ask Him to give you the healing and satisfaction you desire. Before you spend money stop and check your motivations. If you’re motivated by an emotional need, remind yourself that simply spending money won’t truly satisfy that need. Attack the emotional trigger by interrupting the opportunity. Don’t hide from debt. Understand that debt won’t magically go away. Ask God for the courage to face your debt and the wisdom to develop a plan to pay it off. Avoid taking on new debt while you work to pay off your current debt. There is real hope for you to break free of your debt if you commit to God’s will and work diligently to pay what you owe. Do not depend on others to carry your responsibilities. Take personal responsibility for what you buy and decide to purchase something only when you can afford to pay the full cost upfront. Participate in a recovery program. Consider getting help from financial assistance organizations such as Consumer Credit Counseling
Service, Debtors Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous, and Crown Financial Ministries. These organizations can provide valuable encouragement, support and accountability as you work to change your spending habits. Challenge wrong beliefs about money. Realize that wrong beliefs about money can keep you stuck in self-defeating patterns. Understand that you can’t make all your dreams come true by spending money and that you can’t avoid pain by hoarding money. Know that your needs are legitimate and its okay to spend money on yourself to meet them. You are not powerless; you have the power to make smart choices and enhance the quality of your life. Get organized. Get all your financial information in front of you in one clear format. Organize your time and space by scheduling a block of time each week to pay bills and designating a central place for your receipts. After cleaning up your physical space to deal more effectively with money, get rid of unhealthy attitudes and distractions that clutter your mind so you can concentrate better.

TEN TIPS TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM: 1. Don’t hide from debt. Know what you owe and make a plan to eliminate it. 2. Get organized. Having all the correct information regarding your debt helps to keep you on track. 3. Tackle overspending. Write down everything you spend money on so you know what you are paying. 4. Refrain from impulse spending. Identify needs versus wants. 5. Plan for big purchases. Save for the larger purchases so you are prepared and aware of how much you will be paying. 6. Invest in yourself first. Set aside a pre-determined amount to 6
save each month, before you pay any debts. 7. Avoid debt. Pay with cash as much as possible to avoid accumulating additional debt. 8. Create and stick to a budget. Evaluate your expenses, live frugally. 9. Protect your family. Establish an emergency fund with a minimum of the total of 2 times your monthly expenses. 10. Pay bills immediately! Late payments and minimum balances increase your debt by addiing fees. Avoid them by paying promptly and in full.

Pink & Black Fundraising Gala
T
he first annual Walk in It Fundraising Gala held in January 2014 was a tremendous success! Our founder, Jennell Riddick, gave an exciting overview of where the organization has been and where it is headed. Representatives from various Ladies of Distinction sites were present and able to share highlights. Guests arrived in beautiful attire, ready for a night of celebration. From the delicious meal, to posing at the Walk in It backdrop with friends and family, the night was splendid.
The first 3 Stilleto Awards were presented. The Stiletto Awards are given annually to women who “walk tall� among us, and make positive impacts on girls, women, and their communities. The honorees were:
*Dr. Pamela Hammond Provost of Hampton
helped her get where she is today.
*The Honorable Judge Alfreda Harris, of
Franklin, VA, was honored for selfless hours of serving her church, community, and those who cross her path. She is greatly involved behind the scenes and refuses attention or validation for her service. She believes that service is a part of what we should do.
*Barbara Haywood, of Williamsburg, VA, was honored for her countless hours of work within her community, local school board, church, and the field of nursing. Mrs. Haywood has tirelessly been serving for years, and appears to receive pleasure in improving the lives of others. Whether in the office, as a proud mom cheering during an athletic event, governing the school board, or in a casual meeting, it is clear that woman is special. Each of these ladies approach service with grace and generosity. It was our pleasure to thank them for their example and empowerment.

walk in it women’s Conference
“W
e didn’t want it to end…” was one of the most popular comments heard following the 4th Annual Walk in It Women’s Conference, held at the Virginia Beach Resort and Conference Center. This conference grows annually! It not only grows in number of attendants, but also in power and expectation. “I’m bringing a bus load next year”, commented one attendant as she exited the event. Women gather from VA, Maryland, and North Carolina to attend this event. This conference is geared towards empowering the overall woman. It seeks to empower spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and socially. Women from all walks of life come together to grow and have a life changing experience.
ing humor, practical life examples, and biblical teaching, the impact was inexplicable. The ladies didn’t want the sessions to end as they enjoyed a delicious lunch overlooking the beach. The 5 Year Anniversary Conference is going to be bigger and better than ever. Friday night will kick-off with a celebration service, followed by a pajama party complete with ice sundaes and great fun! Saturday morning will kick-off with prayer on the beach, followed by worship, empowerment sessions, lunch, and a few surprises. The 2015 Women’s Conference will be held Friday and Saturday, March 20-21st at the Virginia Beach Resort and Conference Center.
This year’s theme was, Walking Under an Open Heaven: Let It Rain! And rain it did! The facilitators, Pastor Pam Mcglaughlin and Pastor Matisha Dentu, were amazing as they taught with such power and conviction. Mix14

Why Fall is the Perfect Season to Make New Friends by Marle Osborne
I
t’s Back to School season. My kids aren’t in school yet, but that doesn’t keep me from eagerly anticipating another “back to.”
Back to Bible Study! I’m so ready for summer to be over, for the weather to get cooler, for the plethora of pumpkin-flavored confections to emerge from their year-long hiatus. I’m also ready to get back in the swing of my weekly ministry routine. I feel like I’ve been counting down the days, longing to return to my weekly dose of encouraging and challenging BSF (Bible Study Fellowship). Most of all, I look forward to the time set aside with longtime friends. This year, however, I want to make new friends, particularly with those who might desire friendship the most. When I was in 10th grade, I couldn’t wait for the school year to start so I could chill with all my theater friends every single day for 9 whole months. I didn’t wonder what new and interesting people I would meet in the new school year. I didn’t pray for the new girl out there that I hadn’t met yet, who may be hoping and praying for someone to reach out and include her. I didn’t look around with eyes and heart open, ready for someone new, someone who might need me in her life, or who I might need in mine. I wish I could say I didn’t think or pray for these
things because I was young and immature, or because I wasn’t a Christian. The truth is, I still don’t think and pray this way. I still look forward to chilling with all my old friends every single week for 9 whole months, just like I did in 10th grade. I still don’t consider widening my circle one inch. I just enjoy the new “school year” with my same old friends in in bible study and small group sessions. It’s particularly devastating to admit this because I’ve actually been the new girl, standing outside the small group circle desperate to be invited in. My husband and I were quickly and enthusiastically invited to join a young married couples’ small group the very first weekend we moved to Peoria, Illinois several years ago. It remains one of the most generous invitations of my life. They became our family for two years and those women remain some of my most dear and precious friends. Lucky for me, they did not treasure their time together so much that they hoarded it to the exclusion of others, like I tend to do. I’ve also been the “returning girl,” coming back home after several years living out of town. I was welcomed back with many warm hugs and “hellos” and well-wishes, but when it came down to it, very few actually picked up the phone to invite me into their 18

weekly routine. I’m sure many assumed that, as an extrovert returning to my home town and home church, that my schedule would be overflowing and any open spots for new friends and acquaintances would be claimed. Nothing could be further from the truth. I’m so thankful for several, usually quite introverted, friends who stepped out to invite me in. I now have a flourishing tribe to call my own. The question is whether or not I’m willing to share it with anyone else. I’m working on it. I just need a moment to adjust.
These blinders keep me laser focused on my comfort, my preference, my entertainment, my ease. Theses blinders keep me intent upon only the people in my line of sight, unaware of those on the periphery, who may be waiting for nothing more than a friendly smile to invite them in.
Give me a minute to mourn the loss of the super amazing time I would have been laughing and reveling in the life-giving company of my closest friends. Give me a minute to selfishly wish I could just kick back and hang out with them all of the days, soaking in the comfort and ease of old friends. Give me a minute to pray for a new heart that notices the new girl or new couple out there during the “back to bible study” season.
I am reluctantly removing the blinders but you can find me at bible study with my pumpkin-spiced beverage in hand, open and ready to welcome new friends as well as old. Maybe I’ll have a new Trapper Keeper, some crisp new highlighters, and Ultra-Fine Point Sharpie Pens, too. I’m really excited now! Fall 2014. New friends coming to a bible study near you. Are you ready?
I need to pray for that new heart and eyes and ears and mind, ready and waiting and open to someone new. Maybe not new to town, or new to church. Maybe just “new to me.” Maybe there are women who have been attending BSF for several years, but we’ve just never crossed paths. Just maybe, God purposed for 2014-2015 to be our “school” year, the year I finally meet this particular person or my husband and I fi19
Worry: The Flip-Side of Love Reasons for anxiety abound, but how will you respond?
“J
ust don’t worry about it. Trust God. It will all be okay.” For several weeks I heard various renditions of this message from well-meaning people at my church. It was during a very scary few months of my first pregnancy where multiple ultrasounds revealed what appeared to be hydrocephalus, a debilitating and potentially life-threatening brain abnormality. How could I not worry when medical red flags were waving? When there was nothing to do but wait and pray and it was possible that my first baby would not breathe a first breath—or have serious mental impairments. Don’t worry?! Within such statements such as an inherent “just think positively and everything will turn out great” message, can lay faulty theology. Even Scripture repeatedly shows us that the don’t-worry-magic-wand theology doesn’t hold water. The Bible is filled with mothers who lost children and experienced tragedy, death, and heartache. Although their lives seemed ruined they still trusted God. Alongside the “Don’t worry, be happy” cliché that we reject, there’s also rock-solid biblical truth. “Do not worry about your life,” our Savior exhorted (Matthew 6:25, NIV). And, “Do not be anxious about anything,” Paul urged (Philippians 4:6, NIV). What does this really mean? In the book, “When Worry Fuels Your Mind,” Amy Simpson examines these tricky questions as she explores the dangers of a worry-driven life. Amy helps us consider how a Christian can face these challenges differently—even if it seems to go against all our natural instincts. She helps us consider what trust and peace can look like in a world that is full of danger and threat. Dr. Linda Mintle builds upon these ideas in “Winning the Worry War,” aiding us in developing practical strategies and spiritual habits that help us battle anxiety. After all, “Do not worry” isn’t simply a matter of trying harder; our choices and spiritual practices can help us build trust muscles. The concerns of daily life are a burden for all of us, but for women who are single there’s often an extra layer of worry to deal with. For the single mom who’s parenting all on her own or for the young single woman who’s dealing with car problems, bills, and household tasks by herself, the biblical exhortation to not worry takes on greater significance and challenge. In “Shouldering Life’s Concerns When You’re Single,” Margot Starbuck dialogues about
the weight of worry that’s unique for single women, and provides hope and encouragement for navigating these struggles. It’s important to remember that for some, overcoming anxiety is much more than a matter of life choices and spiritual habits. For the 18 percent of Americans who live with an anxiety disorder, seeking medical attention is also a necessary and healthy step toward emotional and spiritual health. In “When Panic Attacks,” Cindy Baum shares her journey through anxiety disorder and how God has been present with her along the way. And in “My Child Struggles with Anxiety. What Can I Do?” Dr. Karen Maudlin assists parents who are concerned about their kids’ anxiety issues. When I went through those long months of pregnancy, struggling with anxiety, I learned some powerful lessons. I learned deep in my heart what I already “knew” in my head. When the Bible says “Do not worry,” Scripture isn’t urging us to stop caring—for isn’t worry often the flip-side of deep love? Instead, I think the key is what we do with those worries and heartfelt concerns. Do we fret and agonize, tormenting ourselves with what ifs and working ourselves into a state of great distress? Or do we bring those worries, fears, questions, and dread to the Lord? In honest, even tearful prayer. In trust that’s focused on who God is rather than solely on an outcome we desire. In Christ like “not my will, but yours be done” submission (Luke 22:42, NIV), willing to surrender and accept an outcome we may deeply dread. While thankfully my son’s tests eventually showed normal brain development, the lessons I learned that season are ones I continue to learn day in and day out. For each of us who love must face worries and what ifs. We each must shoulder the concerns and worries of everyday life. We each must live in a world jam-packed with reasons to fret and to fear. It’s in that love and life that God calls us to him and invites us into the hard work of prayer. And in his miraculous love, God gives us his peace—his peace that transcends and defies circumstances and dangers. His peace that guards us. His peace that keeps us safe. Grace to you and courage to trust— Kelli B. Trujillo, Editor

From Wandering to Walking Even if you don’t know where you are going, walk anyway. Remember in Genesis when God told Abraham (at that time Abram) to go to a place that He would show him?

You must stop wandering before you, like many of the children of Israel, die while on the way to your promised land.
