Along, But Not Alone

Sitting in a circle of women, as they chatter among themselves, I am trying to say something, anything, but the words do not come out. But fear does. The fear of being in a room with people and I have nothing to share, nothing to say, even of importance to them. I feel utterly alone. How could I feel so alone and yet, be in a room full of women?

Join me on this empowering journey as we discover Ruth and how she got over her loneliness!

Need A Pick-Me-Up?

My dear friends, I have put together a group of Bible verses for a “Pick-Me-Up,” anytime you may need it. Sometimes life is hard and sometimes it is wonderful. These verses that I put together is for both. As women we sometimes need to rely on something else rather than our own strength or our spouse. I understand as I sometimes rely more on my husband rather than the beautiful verses in the Bible! Remember:

Jesus is the source of our strength.

Please join us as we go through these amazing Bible verses specifically for us women!
