Only God's hand could explain how my group has come together so perfectly. I was concerned in the beginning (just this last fall) that I wouldn’t have any sign-ups since I live so far from the church (I live downtown). Then I was concerned that I’d get really annoying people or girls who were all in really different places of their lives and wouldn't be able to relate to one another.
Instead, God sent me extremely faithful women, all who live near me, and all in their mid- twenties. All are post-college, career women, looking to seek God amongst their busy schedules and away from their parents’ rules. Again, only God could have orchestrated the details!
I've loved getting to know my girls and see their hearts grow to love one another. I’ve loved seeing them connect one-on-one and seek each other outside of group. I’ve loved sitting with them at church service and just knowing that there's a group of women praying for me and trying to live like God wants them to.
The hardest thing about leading has been juggling my own life, carving time each week to pray for the ladies, and plan our discussion. It seems like whenever I serve God, suddenly my life is a juggling act. But it's no coincidence—Satan definitely wants to distract me from the work God is trying to do, but God has always been faithful to meet my needs. And not only meet my needs, but bless me too!
