Today I was so happy to meet with some women from my prayer group. We all have our struggles and part of the beauty of being with them is that we can all be open and honest with what is on our hearts. Then, instead of judging one another or giving advice, we simply listen to and pray for one another. Sometimes we read scripture or meditations from a book that seems particularly fitting and just allow God’s words to seep into our being. It is encouraging and peaceful. One woman in particular hurt both her legs a few months ago requiring surgery. She had to stay off them for a while and now is home with braces on both of them to keep them straight. She is working with physical therapy to move them little by little. At the beginning of the whole ordeal I could see her fear, anxiety, and worry. Now, she is taking things as they come and realizing how much God is still with her. She even started a “Thankful Journal” and every day writes about the things she is grateful for. Even though she will deny it, she is quite an inspiration.

I Found God today in inspiring and encouraging women.
