My Faithful Army of Women

Journaling: God Gave Me an ARMY of WOMEN.....This life we live was never promised to be an easy one, just a rewarding one. I am thankful that each and every one of these women have been placed in my life by a God who knew what I would need along the way. I rejoice in the fact that each one of them completes a part of me. They love me, encourage me, strengthen me, teach me and lift me up when I fall. The path to becoming the woman He planned for me to be has been filled with these women, these amazing creations of God, that have helped mold me and make me who I am today. There have been many battles that He knew were coming because He sees the beginning from the end. He made a way of escape and often that way was through words or thoughts or cards in the mail or even just silence portrayed by these “My faithful Army of Women ”. To each of you, I love you, respect you, appreciate you and hope that you all know how much you mean to me.

Inside the folder is a small journaling about each woman.

Top Left: ~Donna Arjes~ I met Donna through an infertility support group online. God brought her into my life at a time when my faith and my mental stability were in critical need of support. We bonded instantly and I am thankful always for her being in a place to be what I needed when I needed it.

Top Middle: ~Dawn Nations~ It would take a novel for me to express all my feelings about Dawn in one paragraph, so let me condense it into just one thought, She is my FOREVER BEST FRIEND and my life would not have been the same without her in it.

Top Right: ~Donna Smith~ I can always count on her to give it to me straight. She’s honest and open and her opinion matters because I know it will be what I need to hear. She’s inspiring because she goes after what she wants and doesn’t give up. I need that influence in my life.

Middle Left: ~Wendy~ We met at Central Assembly of God in the mid 90's and she was a blessing I was not expecting. She is easy going, always accepting of who I am and never judgmental towards me. She is always like a breath of fresh air in my life. She will always be dear to me.

Middle: ~Ginny~ My mom, I love that she raised me to be an independent responsible strong woman who can make it in this world. I am thankful that she had her priorities in order, she raised me first and then became my friend. I love and respect her for making that choice.

Middle Right: ~Stephanie~ What can I say, she is a ray of sunshine that never stops. Her smile can light up my world, she made me part of her family and aunt to her children. She inspires me to strive to be a better person and to take care of myself. For that I am grateful.

Bottom Left: ~Jean~ Nobody could ask for a better Mother-In-Law. She loves without question and only offers an opinion if asked. She encourages me when I need it and is one of my biggest cheerleaders. Best of all she raised an awesome man who became my loving, dependable, supportive husband.

Bottom Middle: ~Lydia~ Without a doubt she is the most giving, selfless, loving, amazing woman I have ever met in my life. She is an example of servitude, strength and commitment that I would like to pattern my life after. To keep it short, I’ll just sum it up to she is a great example of Jesus in this world.

Bottom Right: ~My Sister~ As far as baby sisters go I couldn’t ask for anything more. I am thankful that God knew what I would need and gave it to me in the form of my little sister. She’s always there no matter what I need and always willing to give the shirt off her back or a shoulder to cry on.
