I
lead a group of some of the most amazing young women I have ever met!
They inspire me, they teach me, they challenge me, and they bless me…more
than I ever could have dreamed.
I
always marvel at how God weaves our lives together with such perfection.
When a group like this comes together, with him as the focus, he knows
just what to add. The right combination of life experiences; hurts and joys,
talents and struggles that really make a group thrive. This group is no exception;
we thrive on each other's strengths and speak life into each other's hearts!
Right
now we are reading Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge, a truly
amazing book for any woman! A couple weeks ago the girls shared some
thoughts on what they think makes them beautiful. They spoke to each other’s
beauty and here are some of the comments they used to describe each other…
Beautiful

I said…they inspire me! I sat in wonder as they came up with some of the
most amazing descriptions of beauty I had ever heard. Ok, so maybe the
truth is…I'm led by some of the most amazing young women I've ever
met.
I
am so grateful that these girls see this as beauty. So grateful that they
know it and see it in each other. It's amazing how much better it makes you
feel to call out these things in a person and see it light up their face.
We don't always do a great job at seeing this in ourselves, I think that's
why friendships like these are so important. Don't ever hesitate to tell
a friend where you see beauty in her…it speaks to a woman's heart in very
powerful ways!
"And it's
not just the desire for an outward beauty, but more - a desire to be captivating
in the depths of who you are. An external beauty without a depth of
character is not true beauty at all." - Stasi Eldredge, Captivating
I love you girls!! #lifegrouplove #forever
