He knows

last weekend was our yearly church women's retreat and was it ever good. 


God did such a deep work in so many hearts and reminded us all of how much He truly loves us and is always there.


at the retreat they always break us up into small discussion groups after each session.  this is always done randomly and you stick with the same group after each session.  it was amazing to me (and it really shouldn't be) that God knew exactly what I needed. 


I lead a weekly women's life group at our church and was truly blessed to have 6 of my 8 ladies able to come to the retreat.  what I didn't realize until I was sitting in my retreat small group was how thankful I was to NOT have any of my life group ladies in my small group.  don't get me wrong I love sharing life with my ladies but there are times when you just need to be a part of the group and not leading the group. 


God knew, He always knows and yet it still surprises me when He shows me even a small kindness.

she is me, i am her

every Tuesday night my lady friends come over and we eat and talk about Jesus and share life together.  I have no words for how much I love and need each and everyone of these ladies.  they are funny, quirky, serious, thoughtful, and lovely. 


last night a new lady joined our group and I realized this morning she is me and I am her.  you see she is new, she has never gone to church, she has finally realized after all these years and much loss and pain and joy and happiness that she cannot live without Jesus and she wants to do life with my small group. 


18 years ago I was this woman.  after much loss and pain and joy and happiness I realized i needed Jesus. I couldn't live without Him.


she is hungry so very very hungry for Jesus.  she can't live without Him.
