There was a day when I worried over heading out to bible study alone. How sad I would be. Yeah right! I have met so many wonderful, beautiful woman. It seems many have been from blog world. I am so impressed by them. They have brought conversation and laughter to my soul. The hugs are more than tremendous.
Connection with these ladies is easy. We are so attracted to the Jesus we see in one another. I am convinced of this sure thing. That is why we pour over one another’s blog and how we can become instantly connected. We are after all soul sisters. Or should I say siestas?
Friends, if you are reading this please know that you are a God send to me. Those are not simply words but they describe the trueness of my heart.
From top to bottom.
1. Ellen, Angie, and Missy

3. Sharla
4. Jackie
And how could I forget meeting up with Xandra and Amanda.

Thank you so much Debra! Gosh, the feelings are so mutual! What a blessing you have been to me in the short time that we have known each other! I CAN’T wait to get to know you better! I left last night and texted my husband, telling him that I know we would all have an absolute blast together! And the great thing about it too is that we are just a few typed words away other at all times! My soul smiles watching blessings unfold…

What beautiful smiles!!! On each face show the beauty of the Lord.
Hi, I’m Angie in the first pic 2nd on the left. I have to confess when I saw the blog this morning the first thing that popped was the picture of us ( Ellen, Angie, Missy and Debra). My first response was, “oh no, I look so pudgy sitting down..”(That was the nice version) I read your blog and had tears in my eyes and a big smile on my face…. I felt tremendous love from the Lord fill me today. How gracious He is when at the same time you feel His conviction but yet coupled with overflowing love. I asked God to forgive me from focusing on myself, my flaws, my pudgy picture but instead look at the beautful work he has done in these precious women’s lives and yes my own. It amazes me daily to see how the creator of the universe is so involved in the details of our lives and His great love for us.
The first picture represents the night on the “front row” one night I will never forget. I know it was one of those times that God set it all up. That night my dear friend Ellen(1st on the left) flew in from Oklahoma to visit me here. We have been best friends since 8th grade. I prayed that day the Lord would really bless her while here. She is going through a difficult time right now. That night God really came through for her. The word was exactly what she needed that night In words that I can’t explain. We knew that night the Lord was speaking directly in her circumstance. I will always be greatful for you Debra and Missy for allowing the love of Jesus to flow from your lives. That night really blessed us and I will always cherish it and the picture too!! Debra, my sister are a God send to me. Be blessed today ladies you are all beautiful.
For we are God’s Workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

Isn’t God just so Awesome! I seem to remember some months back you were saying how you didn’t have any girl friends in real life and were needing that. Look how the Lord has provided the opprotunity to meet all these wonderful women! *HUGS*
