Not only has it allowed me the opportunity to strenthen my walk with the Lord through daily quiet time and an intense study of His word, I have developed deep friendships and bonds with the women in our SS class.For 6 months, we have gathered together every other week to delve into our study together, and along with Beth Moore's profound and life-altering messages, we have shared food, fellowship, concerns, laughter, heartache, tears, hugs and smiles. These women have become a lifeline for me- a break from every day life as a working mom and wife. They are a support group, and I know that no matter what...we are there for each other. I pray for them daily by name, and I thank God for this incredible blessing in my life. I look forward to our Wednesdays together, and it thrills me to see the hand of God working throughout our group. I love you girls... my sisters in Christ!
Here is part of our group... we had some missing last night, but I will be getting their pictures next time and posting them as well.Lori - Was the very first person I met at our church. She was 30 weeks pregnant at the time, and I was 10 weeks. We sat next to her and her husband at church, and we were instantly friends, she invited Mark and I to SS class- the rest is history! Lori is one of the most warm and caring people I know, and she always makes me laugh!
Amanda- Is my sweet neighbor, who reached out to me as soon as we realized not only did we share a SS class, but we also shared the same street :) She has been a wonderful friend to me, and I love her generous spirit. She is my encourager!
