Hungry

I had the opportunity to open our home to a group of beautiful women, of all ages. it is such a treat to circle around my living room with these ladies and just talk about Jesus. Each one of these ladies had Jesus woven all through their stories, each one brought something special and unique to this group. Each person God had called to come, for a special time of fellowship, and studying of God's word.




I weighed the decision to host for several days when it was brought up again that they needed more women to host in my neighborhood. I knew what I needed to do. In one way or another each one of these ladies brought up how excited they were to have a bible study in their neighborhood. Each woman came with a desire and willingness to draw near to God and seek him, it has been such a humbling experience to hear these women pour out their hearts, their deepest desires to simply trust God more, have more faith and to leave those everyday burdens in his ever capable hands.


One thing that has stood out to me is the hunger for a deeper connection with God, as well as fellowship with one another, because no one quite understands you as well as your girl friends. It is a sweet time, where we can lay it all out, and uplift one another. God has called us as Christians to do things that aren't popular, that can cost us a lot but he promises, peace, rest, hope, and love. The beautiful thing is equips us, after he calls us. He guides us, teaches us, carries us along as we seek after him.


Last night my husband and I were talking about the power that is in the midst of praying women. At the very least its beautiful to see women just seeking God, in bible study and prayer. 11 of us circled in my living room last night, we talked about life, children, struggles, the bible, controversy, and we laughed.


I've said it a couple times how humbled I am that God would use me, I'm humbled and honored that he called me to open our home for these ladies to meet. My heart is so full, I find that its easier on this side to let go and let God. There is nothing like fellowshipping with other believers in all different stages.


It is hard to believe looking back over the last few years to see how far I've come, how much God has changed and continues to change. To say its been difficult is an understatement but its been more than worth it a million times over.


We are so hungry for Jesus, for authenticity and connection. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice, for you calling us to something greater than we can fathom, Thank you for not allowing us to get comfy where we are, thank you for drawing us out and together, help us seek you and grow, help us encourage one another as we each strive to dwell in your throne room.


Love you friends! find a place to connect, to draw together, to just dwell with Jesus and other believers. It is life giving and crucial.


Until we meet again...blessings and prayers!!
