Fellowship of Sisterhood

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last 11+ years of being a mom, it’s that you shouldn’t do this journey of motherhood alone. To enjoy the journey you will need to surround yourself with positve, prayerful and purposeful women. Women who will pray with you, over you and speak into your life. I’m very blessed with a handful of those. But they didn’t come quickly or easily. Be very discerning on who you let into your inner circle. And at the same time be generous (gracious, gentle and giving) to those around you, they may need you more than you know. Also give wholeheartedly to the next generation of women (who may not yet be married or have children). I’ve had the honor and opportunity to meet dozens of college aged girls through the ORU wingbacker program and have made some lifetime friendships with a handful of amzaing ladies. They are going to change the world for God.

Live by example and let your light SHINE
– Be gracious (give, give, give: babysit for a friend, bring dinner to another family, have the girls over and bake like crazy)
– Share knowlege (from inspirational thoughts from your personal devos to recipes, cooking tips, cleaning tips, and child rearing)
– Be generous in uplifting others

I can’t tell you how amazing it is when one in my ‘fellowship’ brings us dinner…just because. Little did she know that I had a really rough day at work. Truely, that is God’s love in a 5’5″ frame (Carrie :)). This lady has taught me so much about selflessnes, goodness, mercy and love.

We’re not alone, we’re meant to run this race together as the body of Christ.
