Great Gals

In my excitement to fill you in about what the retreat weekend was about and how good our God is, I didn't take the time to download the pictures of my roomie's for the weekend. I couldn't have chosen two better gals to room with!

I met Debbie (left) when I joined choir when we moved to town 11 (!) years ago. We have interacted occasionally through the years and now we're in the same small group (if you call 20-25 a small group!). She is a super gal with a heart for God and it was a privilege to get to spend some time with her and get to know her better this weekend.
What can I say about Bev (middle). We also met at church through her son and then I worked with her for over six years, until she retired a year ago this month. I have learned so much from Bev over the years...sometimes when she was trying to teach this strong-willed, belligerent woman, and sometimes when she she wasn't looking. =)

A big thanks to these two ladies. I'm not sure when I've laughed so hard or learned so much. I'm so looking forward to what the future holds with both of you!



In addition to Debbie and Bev, the other two members of our group this weekend were Cheryl (left) and Bonnie (left of me, next to Cheryl). I had never met either of these two women before this weekend, but I am SO glad that I did! They both have such a passion to know God and learn and grow in Him, yet they are so different in personality. Cheryl is spunky and a little sarcastic, very funny! Bonnie is such an encourager with a sweet, gentle spirit.
The five of us make up our little discipleship group - all unique and very different, but all with one main purpose: to know God better and live life in such a way that it's evident to those around us. I am so excited to see what God has in store for all of us as we head down this path - Together.
