women.

we are His daughters...the apples of His eye...His favorites :)

last night we crammed into vovo's shack with the women's house church to share a meal and our hearts together.  it was wonderful.  i feel so honored to share life with these vibrant, fiery, strong, beautiful african women.  i love girl time.  i absolutely love it.  there is nothing like getting a room of women together, dishing girly stories (like "sooo how did you two meet?"), laughing and laughing, sharing our hearts, connecting deeply...i thrive in these moments!  last night was glorious.  listening to each woman share her story of grace & redemption found in Jesus.  the spontaneous songs that arose out of genuine gratitude that could not be contained.  witnessing an older mama speaking life over the youngest of the group, a 20 year old who has been on her own since age 16.  hearing this mama, the girl's neighbor, tell her how proud she was of her and the choices she has made, speaking truth and destiny over her life as tears rolled down their cheeks.  FAMILY.  i love the Kingdom of God.  i love His family.  i love that this girl is not alone, but a daughter in this glorious family.  


and how amazing that my best friend since the age of 6 could be there last night.  my worlds intersecting.  what a dream :)
