Some coffee with friends! (decaf!) with a Prize at the end!

After our quiet time and refreshment with our LORD, it is so nice to have some coffee with our favorite gals! So, now that I have thanked the Lord above for the love in each of you, I will tell you and the world!


Thank you all for your kinds words and your prayers. I have been so blessed by each of you! Being without caffiene and NO side effects AT ALL!! Glory to God and Bless you all, my praying sisters!!! Wow! Friends if you have not read on the following ladies' blogs you are missing it!

Chel, what can I say? First, when I see this picture I think of you because we both found it on the same night!! Friends you don't know this about us, but we now live too many miles from each other. We have not only both found this picture the same night, but we have bought the same shoes on the same weekend. And one weekend while shopping for her I found a beautiful trivet and she bought the picture ON THE SAME WEEKEND!! Truly! (no I am not talking to myself, Chel is my sister - sort of - the closest I can get to one!)

Both of us are only children, both blonde lol, both love the Lord, share a ministry together, and will literally know each other from age 3 to eternity!!! (no, I did not plan that but it sounded great didn't it???) :-)

Oh, wait back to Chel. I LOVE YOU!!! YOU ARE AWESOME WONDERFUL AMAZING BEAUTIFUL FUN CREATIVE AND JUST DOWN RIGHT SPECIAL!

Her name means, Who is like God? and her spiritual connotation is Godliness!! She lives up to it! I just adore her! Her scripture is Psalm 71:19, "For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?" (NASB) - my favorite translation too! How 'bout that? I love this girl and you know her as Chel Leaving a Legacy.

Abby at Walking on High Hills, what can I say except I can't wait to meet you and hug your neck. We can't live this close and NOT do THAT! You have been an absolute pleasure getting to know and I consider it an honor that you invited me when you went private on your blog! Your heart for the Lord shines through your words!!

My friend your name means, My Father Rejoices and your spiritual connotation is Cherished of God! Luke 18:16, "The LORD your God is in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing!" (NKJV) Wow!! Her blog mat still be private but I know you will love her too!

MARINA!!!! Just saying your name makes me smile! The sweet things you have said online and on the phone - I promise to call you back!! - have blessed my heart! Your empathetic spirit and care is so evident! And I can't WAIT to meet you in San Antonio. I am honored, as I am sure that Chel is too, that you are coming to our ladies conference! It is our 9th and we are simply beside ourselves!

It is no wonder what your name means!! The inherent meaning is From the Sea but your spiritual connotation is Wonder of God!!! Psalm 93:4, "More majestic than the thunders of mighty waters, more majestic than the waves of the sea, majestic on high is the LORD!" (NRSV) I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know you! My friends you can read her at Simply Marina - and there is nothing simple about her she is EXTRAORDINARY!

Kae at All My Blessings....darling you ARE THE Blessing! You are so sweet and kind. Thank you for your prayers and checking on me!! I adore you! Your scripture I am sharing first because this describes to a T and I am just getting to know and I know this fits!!! God is just so good! Here it is, Proverbs 15:23, "To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone and a word in season, how good it is!" (NRSV)

WOW You have done this for ME!!!! Little ole me and I see this in you because I asked for prayer! Amazing is our God for certain, look what He made - YOU! :-) Your name means Rejoicer and the spiritual connotation is Joyful! So true, just read your blog!!! Ladies, read her blog and you will see it too!!!

Shonda Shonda Shonda!! I have loved the times we have been able to speak!! I am sad you will not be able to come to San Antonio but so thrilled you even considered it. I totally understand that your son must come first!!! Of course! I know Chel was looking forward to meeting you as well. Your prayers and encouragement have truly helped me! And your prayers specifically have been answered over the music area I asked you to pray over. Thank you Lord! He is so faithful!

Girl, the meaning of your name is God is gracious and the spiritual connotation is Accountable! Your verse is 1 Peter 4:10, "Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each you has received." Your forte honey!!! If you want to read more of this gracious lady go see her at Shonda's Journal.

Ok, let's see if you can guess this lady and I will send you a prize that will come in handy the next holiday season! She lifts my spirits and daily. I read and laugh and have cried...because I laughed so hard, Chel sorry hon you already know and have the prize! lol

This lady in this picture helps because I think she has had more than one cup of coffee! And her hair is the right color and the length is where it was when I first started reading her blog. One of my favorite posts in the whole world was by this lady. I have spread it around and I laugh harder every single time I read it.

And so she knows that I am talking about her I will give her a clue, this is NOT WHAT It is! It never just "is what it is"! You know how the two of us just love that statement!!! But I do love you lady! I love you with the love of the Lord and I think you would be an absolute blast to have a weekend with!!!

I wish I could meet you in person and hug your neck. Chel and I may just show up at your church and say Let's Just Praise the Lord!!! You are a delight and your name means, Beautiful and your spiritual connotation is Excellent Virtue - now tell that to your man! Woo hoo! Your scripture is James 5:16, "Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective." (NRSV)

Here is the prize:

Now go and sip and relish on these words, "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11

I FEEL LIKE WE JUST HAD DEVOTION TOGETHER!!! AMEN!
