It seemed fitting to write about the "Wednesdays" on Wednesday. These lovely ladies (several are missing from this pic) were some of my closest friends while we lived in Arizona. Weekly, they brought truth, joy, laughter, comfort, celebration and true friendship into my life. I miss this group for the tight knit community of women and the aspects of life we experienced together. I think it's truly remarkable that such a large group of girls would meet together and do life together week after week together - especially at our age!
It's been so fun to see so many of these ladies have such exciting things in life happen to them in the past several years that i've know them. Engagements, new jobs, weddings, decisions to go back to school, graduations, moving back home, etc. I loved knowing their stories.
So many of us have now moved away from Arizona. We never quiet understood what God was doing as he gave and took away so many of these girls. It was so hard to let go - but He was faithful in always providing more women to bless us. These ladies were never replaced, God was just growing our circle. Wednesdays always seemed to be a constant. Even on the days I was tired and dragged my feet to get there, I was always glad I went in the end.
Kathy was a our fearless leader. Weekly she poured hours of effort into teaching us the Word and bringing the text to life in a meaningful and applicable way. She desired us to be intwined intimately and really be real with one another. I love her love for Jesus, for us and her servant-hearted leadership that pointed us toward Christ.
I'm continuing to pray for a community of women like this to surface in my life here in Texas. I've certainly been blessed by a few here and there, but continue to pray for unity and community to grow more richly in our lives!
I love and miss you Wednesdays!
