I was able to go over to a friend's house and help her unpack her new apartment. She just recently, Sunday, moved to Paducah and it is an amazing experience for her. I feel really connected with her and I've not even known her that long. I can tell our friendship will go a long way, and in a way, I already feel like she is an older sister to me. I have always wanted an older sister, and God has blessed me in tenfold with Shelby.
I was able to go to Life Group with her tonight. For those of you who do not know what Life Group is, it is small groups that my future church (as of this coming Sunday) Faith Center have. It is an awesome way to connect and learn from each other on such a more personal level. At first, it wasn't much of a blessing to be there, I felt like an intruder almost, since it was not the normal Life Group I attend. As the nice proceeded, especially at the end, I felt really wanted. Something that has happened on rare occasions, but at those occasions, I feel so deeply connected with God. I can truly say that I have found a group of women that I know are so in love with God, and that they have given their mind, soul, and body to Him. Letting Him live through them, AS them. I know this is a group of women that will keep me accountable, and will help me grow even more as I continue this quest that God has put before me.
I know this post was not much about my "diet", but I felt this was what God wanted me to share. About how, when you have such a strong group of friends around you, not only will they lift your spirits, but they help you grow so much, and you even lift their own spirits. God has truly blessed me with such an amazing group of ladies to be with. I am honored to call them friends.
By the way, if you live in the Paducah area and would like to look into this, see what it is all about, or even just talk with me, feel free to email me at victoria.n.mcbride@gmail.com and I would love to get to know you better.
I agree Victoria, and it is also important to have those few older women in your life who can pray for you and help you, as they have already been through the time you're going through, they can give you much wiser advice. I'm praying for you.
