So blessed

For the past 2(ish) years, I have been blessed to be a member of a Beth Moore Bible Study group. It was such an answer to prayers to be included initially, since at the time I didn't really know anyone in town and was quite lonely. This study not only gave me a weekly accountablility for my walk with God, but also a group of supportive women that cared about me and prayed over all the things going on in my life. They were a mixture of women my age and around the age of my mom, nurses, teachers, SAHMs, students, and from all different backgrounds. We experienced births and miscarrages, engagements, break ups, and weddings, illness, and recommitments to God. These women gave me hope, insight, friendships, and  a family in a place that I once felt like I had no one. I wouldn't be who I am today without these amazing women!

Yesterday, We all met together for my going away lunch at Sadie's (seriously some amazing Mexican food...you must go if you ever visit ABQ). Spending this time with them, means so much to me.

Thank you Cyndi, Janell, Katie, Dena, Liz and Liz, Monique, Helen, Lindsay, Melissa, Melissa, Sheri, Anne Marie, Dolores, and Gina. You ladies have given me so much, more than I could ever repay or thank you for!

Been to Sadie's in ABQ :) We were stationed there a few years ago. Also, I love it when I am in a good Bible Study group with a Beth Moore study. :) You are a lucky girl!

Have a great evening!

We are the lucky ones to have you in our lives! I was thinking back to the last time you and I were at Sadie's about a year ago and realized how blessed we are today! I know that the blessings will continue for both of us! LOVE YOU!

You are blessed to have such a great Bible group. I wish our church had one. Wed night is kind of like one for us. We don't have very many that actually go into the service on that night due to all the other activities going on at church, so it has turned into a Bible study instead of an actual service. We haven't been in a little bit, beause it was hard to take Albany then last semester I had a class on that night. Now that Albany is 2 she is old enough to go to her own activity, so we are hoping to get back into it.

I miss those connections. The last year has taken me away from my women's bible study.

I'm inspired by this post.
