About

Gather Inspirit is a group of Christian ladies from various walks of life. We all are mothers, writers, bloggers, and encouragers seeking to expand our personal God-given ministries by reaching out through an incredible combined website. Our vision is simply to inspire, encourage and uplift all bloggers in their journey and in life. We believe that if you put the Lord first, all other things will fall in place. He will show us the way even in blogging.

Our foundational Scripture is:

“Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truths and teach me for you are God my savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” Psalms 25:4-5 (NIV)
