Women of Encouragement

Good Morning.  Today I am super excited to share with you.  It is a beautiful foggy morning. I am up early writing at 6:40.   The birds are chirping.  Not sure it is exactly singing.  I am not a birder so I cannot tell who it is that is so vocal today. LOL.  I have a whole pile of annoncements to share throughout the day.   I think the May calendar is complete and ready for the Admin to pray over before we post.  I am Thankful that God has Blessed me.  Challenged me.  And equipped me to lead you.  I am thankful for the other admin and leaders that keep our group engaged.  I was reminded yesterday about a time (in 2000) that I felt lead to be a leader in our churchs Womens Ministry.  I studied. I planned.  I waited for an opportunity that didn't come.  I was sad.  And a bit heart broken.  15 or so years later I felt lead to work and serve in a Senior Adult Apartment.  Again it was not God's timing.  His word says 'His timing is not the same as ours' (loosely paraphrased

How’s the weather in your neck of the woods? Here in Georgia, spring has sprung, the peach trees are in full bloom, and we’re having warmer—and wetter--days. So, come on up on the porch! We’ll sit together, listen to the rain, catch up on all the news—and watch our newest calf, Zorro playing in the pasture. He’s so much fun!   What are your favorite Bible verses? I have so many favorites that it's an endless list.   This promise came to my mind today  Psalm 60:4-5 "Sing to the Lord, you saints of His, praise His holy name. For His anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."   I am so happy and filled with joy to be able to share a few minutes with you.  Maybe we can chat about favorite verses.   And share a few recipes. I am always looking for a new one.  Are you?  I stumbled across this recipe years ago, and it’s been a staple on our Easter table ever since. It pairs beautifully with ham

There was only one place she could think to run. Tears rolled down her cheeks. “I surrender.” She released her hands, palms up. Have you ever been in a situation like this? Your world has come crashing down around you and you don’t know where to turn? Nothing seems to be going right? I think we can all answer yes. I can. The woman in the above story was me a few years ago. I had been through mega-stress at work and other personal challenges. I’m not a
