Captivating......

well we had our first Captivating group tonight and i loved it. of course there will be no details for those of you who weren't there, but it was awesome. There is something about just coming together as women and being real that brings me life. i've realized that there is something in me that longs for friendships to be real. i feel like to have a true friend you must be real with one another and a friendship isn't just about 'happy' times and a friend isn't someone who just tells you what you want to hear. Friendship means so much more than that, at least to me it does. So i'm looking forward to what God has ahead for us as a group. I think that He will do things that we can't even really imagine right now. I think that this is the way it is meant to be..as a community going through things together, letting God speak to us and challenge us to be women of God. And to discover what it truly means to be women of God. i think if women were truly women of God as we are meant to be and men are the men of God they are meant to be, we are to compliment each other in a way that truly shows the glory of God. We are a better picture of who God is when each men and women are living as God meant them to live and treating each other with love and respect for who we are, not belitting each other's sex. We are to be warriors with each other, not against each other. So i'm exicited about this journey towards being a woman of God and i'm so excited that I have a group of women who want to go through this with me.
