Lord I asked you for one, just one. Just one person I could lean on for guidance and learn from their wisdom as I adapt to this new land. But my God, You gave me so much more. I am still in awe to the blessing they have been in my life and for that, I don’t want to disappoint them.

Their eyes filled with hope in my reach. But if I can be honest, I am a little overwhelmed by how proud they are of me. The bond happened unexpectedly as it is hard for me to just open my heart completely to anyone. But somehow Your words became more clear the more I allowed myself to connect with them. I am not used to this feeling. This kind of acceptance and nurturing was unheard of where I am from. You have given me the opportunity to develop fellowships that are effortless and genuine. The wisdom, love, friendship, and guidance that they have brought into my life over these past few years has been so beautiful. Seeing Your Love through their hearts and minds replenishes my spirit. It makes me want to hold on to Your words even tighter.

I always used to dream that I could surround myself with women like me. Women who are not judging each other out of fear, jealousy, or bitterness. Women who support and encourage one another regardless of the chaos that may surround their lives. The relationship works both ways and neither side is afraid to open up to the other and just have an honest conversation. So strong, so humble, so giving. Tears of joy fill my eyes as I find myself praising Your name without even realizing it. Once again Lord, I prayed and You answered. YOU ANSWERED! I cannot thank you enough for these inspirational Women of God but Lord I pray for You to please continue to bless them and their families.

They are passing the baton and though I am nervous, I just remind myself of Your promise.
