We have an amazing small group. We have been so blessed by each family, and it's hard to express our gratitude for all they've meant to us. People have helped us get the house ready, watched the girls, gifted us with great conversation, support, and prayers, and offered their assistance with the move. Tonight we had a potluck dinner together (we always eat well!), and they gave us a gift card to Home Depot. I'm sure that will come in handy in the new home. I'm so going to miss Jeanny's baking.
It's hard to believe we've only been meeting as a group since the Fall. I feel like we've grown so close in such a short time. I've so enjoyed our time together, especially the women-only time we've had (birth stories always come up). I'm really going to miss these women. Mary always seems to know just what I need prayer for, she understands most how I feel about all these changes. I have appreciated Suzann's honesty and openness about anything and everything. Jeanny always has very thoughtful insights, whether it's study discussion or random conversations. Heidi is so thoughtful of others, so ready to lift them in prayer. She has bathed our very home in prayer, and I'm so thankful. Inez has a sincerity about her, a genuineness (is that a word?), a gentle spirit that has touched my heart. They all love on my kids. It seems so unfair that these people have only just come into our lives and we already have to move away from them.
I have to believe God has special blessings ahead for us. With a few exceptions, life seems so perfect, so many things are just what we've been looking for. Do we really have to walk away? God seems to be flinging open doors, so I guess it's meant to be. Gotta' have faith.
