A tribute to… my womens' lifegroup!
(Front Row: Kimberly & Ruth. Middle Row: Faye, Charlotte, & Colleen, who is new to the group.)
1. God brought me to this group at the absolutely perfect time (6-12-07). My first time there was a week after "the letter," and these women were a great prayer support system and encouragement to me during that difficult season!

2. I love the way they do prayer requests – we go around the circle and hear from everyone, and we all write down and pray over each others’ requests through the week!
3. I met them through LifeChurch’s "Offerings" event to introduce people to the various lifegroups available, where Kimberly told me they would be starting Beth Moore’s Daniel study soon… I was so excited for that!
4. I’m the only one in the group that doesn’t have children (so far), and many of them are grandmothers… but I don’t ever feel out of place. We're all comfortable w/each other and can really share what's on our hearts!
5. Ruth is awesome and very encouraging to me; she really respects me and she always says she’s “praying for my Strawberry Soda!” =)
6. Charlotte is kind and strong and full of grace... she's been through some painful relational loss and betrayal, but she handles it all with God-given joy and peace.
7. Faye is entertaining and fun. She’s also the “official pray-er” for the group, because the rest of us don’t love to pray out loud.
8. We also meet at Kimberly’s house sometimes – it’s in Broken Arrow, which is a little closer than Owasso for me, and she’s a wonderful hostess, as well! =)
9. McKayla joined the group this year (she's closer to my age) and we’ve become good friends; she's got a lot of wisdom and compassion and is really encouraging.
10. The group helped me in throwing McKayla’s Baby Shower for Jackson, which was a lot of fun!
11. Sarah, Hannah, Luke, and Janie are Ruth’s kids, and I feel connected to all of them, although I don’t know any of them very well.
12. They’ve gone through Beth Moore’s Daniel study and The Patriarchs study, both of which were amazing… Beth’s passion for God is just awesome!
13. They gave me the encouragement/confidence I needed to lead my own group in the Daniel study and really encouraged me when starting up the Diving Deeper LG.
14. Ruth is my accountability & Scripture memory partner for this year… we email or text every week to make sure we’re staying on track in our reading through the Bible in a year!
15. You can count on them to really be praying for you and your family and friends!
16. Faye’s “special brownies” as they call them – lol – tasty!
17. We all love Chuck and The Office, and all have similar political views!
18. They had me choose four Joyce CDs for the group to listen to… it was difficult to pick my favorites!

19. Ruth’s house has such a cozy, warm and inviting atmostphere… she’s usually burning a pumpkin-scented candle, and her couch and chairs are super comfy!
20. They let me host the group Christmas party this year so they could all come see my house, and because they know I adore Christmas! =)
21. Ruth also loves John Eldredge, so we talk about his books a lot and send each other encouraging quotes when needed.
22. Kimberly hired me to paint for her, and she’s pregnant right now and has talked about wanting me to help w/the girl’s nursery room! FUN!
23. Charlotte is always so uplifting – she has a lot of wisdom, and I reeeeeally appreciate her advice/encouragement! I also love it that she takes my problems seriously even after all she has been through.
24. We did the Chasing Daylight study by Erwin McManus together – so great!
25. We’re starting Beth Moore’s Esther study tomorrow night, and it’s going to be AWESOME! Yay, Ruth's group!! ❤
