sweet rolls.

i have been extremely blessed to be a part of the best small group ever.

i had always worked wednesday nights at the church. with working everyday but friday and sunday, i began to feel the need for community in my life. corporate worship just wasn't enough community anymore.

i have never been a part of a group of ladies who uplift each other like these do. they have been there for me and laughed with me and cried with me. there have been few moments since entering this group where i didn't think about these girls. Proverbs 27:17 is so true.

Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17

its so neat how God works. throughout our time together, there has been situation after situation of "i've totally been there before, here is how God worked it out." its as if God were sitting right there, holding a coffee mug, enjoying the encouragement and conversation as much as we do. 

every week, i count the days until we meet again. i am so glad God put these women in my life. i wholeheartedly believe they lead me more to the cross every day and challenge me to die to self. i am so incredibly thankful to learn about the sweet heart of Jesus with these ladies.

so, sweet rolls, this is for you! love you all so so much! 

1 Corinthians 1:4-9
I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge, even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you, so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
