Friends...

One woman is a dedicated nurse in Oregon. Her heart is devoted to her husband and his ministry as a children's pastor and her one year old sweet baby boy. Her ability to overcome substantial life glitches and to support others through theirs astounds me. My favorite thing about her is her wisdom and knowledge.

One woman is a dedicated school teacher in Idaho that is currently finding her place in understanding and serving those victimized by modern day slavery. She is an amazing teacher because she loves learning herself! Her recent topic of study is modern day slavery and her recent prayer is finding her roll in that. My favorite thing about her is her ability to find joy and life in the tiniest of things.

One woman is a student. She is currently working on her masters in Public Health (or maybe it's public nursing or something like that). Her studies take her to a far away land where her faith is put on the line. She spends her evenings and weekends with sexually exploited women and teaching them basic sex ed. My favorite thing about her is her deep passion. She is deeply passionate and prays life into all that she sees and hears and touches.

One woman is a school teacher in Idaho and is living the nomadic life. Her commitment as a mother and wife infuse her creativity. She and her husband have been gifted with a talent to make all things beautiful. They are currently homeless (staying with friends/family) for the time while they search for the perfect home to restore into something wonderful. My favorite thing about her is the way she makes ordinary events or objects into something extraordinary.

One woman is a bilingual teacher in Washington specializing in math. She is also a dedicated mother and wife with a huge heart. She is small in size but has enough love in her for all the children she's ever met who have had a disadvantage in life because of the language they spoke. Her undying devotion for equal educational opportunities for children of all cultures and languages is inspiring. My favorite thing about her is her beautiful ability to listen and truly hear others when they speak.

These women inspire me and love me in ways that only God could have known when He brought me to them. I just spent a day and night with these women and my heart is full. I am able to come home and love my husband better and my children better and be inspired in who I am a as child of God. Thank you dear friends for being so wonderful. Life would be so strange and boring without you.
