Just this morning............

our morning alarm went off and the first thing I heard was Nicole C. Mullen singing "My Redeemer Lives"my foggy mind immeadiately went to a room filled with amazing ladies. I could see your faces as my minds eye went around the room. My heart was overfilled with admiration for two girls sitting by the windows who felt secure enough to pour out their hearts and be vulnerable. And then my mind remebered our new mommies in the "cry room". I remeber being that new mommy loaded up with a baby carrier, diaper bag, and bible study. And a big shout out to that sweet little momma who even brought a yummy snack! You girls rock! I am truly so thankful to the ladies who felt led to lead our small groups! I was blessed by how God confirmed that each group was His design. I love how He does that! And I couldn't help but smile as I remembered all of our quirkinesses! You guys are so much fun! But what makes my heart about bust out of my chest, is your desire to want to go the distance with our Savior. That you are not okay with the status-guo. I am asking Him to pour out more of his spirit over you this week as we tackle homework and book study. You can do it!

As the snooze button was pushed, I continued to pray God's Redeeming Love to pour over this group. I thank you Pam for the example you are to us. Let me say "It is my pleasure to walk this walk with you!" Ladies hold your Shield of Faith up high and may you walk in Victory this week! I love you.

Eph 6:10-18 NKJV Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. {11} Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. {12} For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. {13} Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. {14} Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, {15} and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; {16} above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. {17} And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; {18} praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;
