I love my Bible study group! Every Monday I get to spend it with some incredible women. As I looked around the room last night, I started to get a little weepy. This group of women have come to mean so much to me. They have filled a place in my heart that I didn't even realize needed to be filled. They encourage me to study scriptures more intensely, they inspire me to love extravagantly, to forgive more freely, and live more faithfully.
The most crazy thing, most of these women in this room I didn't even know this time last year! Yep, they were not even on my radar. Sure,I'll admit I "knew of" some of these ladies, but I didn't really know them until the last 6 months. Even those ladies I did know and would consider friends....the friendship has just gotten so much sweeter these past few months.
That fact amazes me....How God will bring people in our lives for a purpose. How He uses our past and present circumstances to bring glory to Him. I have no idea what God has planned for me in the future. But with any journey there will be some sadness and joy, love and heartbreak. There will be strangers that will become friends and friends who will become strangers. But all of it is in His hands. So here is to Zion and to a God that loves me and is weaving a beautiful story - my story - that is simply wonderfully unfathomable!
