"I am going to be her apprentice"

The Season for a Sweetly Beautiful Group Handpicked by God to unite together as Sisters in Christ!
My heart leaps and dances within as I got the text from Julia to tell me that "I am going to be her Apprentice"... Many thoughts have ran through my head seasons before that I wonder what it would look like for me to apprentice and lead a group of ladies that are so eager to learn just as much as I want too. I finally get the opportunity to do just that. Julia as the Leader and myself as her apprentice. 
I am forever grateful and yet terrified at the same time  with being nervous of talking in front of people (yeah I know I am a social butterfly, but it's nerve racking just the same; with thoughts of will they like me, will they understand me or even I don't know a lot, I am going to say it wrong or all eyes towards me and they are listening to what I have to say "what will they do with what I have said" ,etc.). I have realized that this is getting in the way of me  doing God's work and it is getting in the way of sharing all God has done and continues to do for me, my family and others.  Yet this verse helps me  and is tattooed to my heart "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (1Peter 5:7) Fears are nasty they always get in the way of doing Gods work ... Fears can leave you paralyzed and uncomfortable. But with  these verses tattooed to my heart "You , O Lord keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. With your help I can advance against a troop, with my God I can scale a wall"
(Psalm 18:28-29)
Anything is Possible with God!!!
My Hearts desire is to gain more knowledge and truth of who God is and How he has uniquely touched each and every lady that we meet and connect with during this season.
"By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures" (Proverbs 24:3-4)
The treasure is relationships: Relationship with God, Relationship with Sisters in Christ...Plain old Relationships!! While building relationships with one another we will be able to share our life experiences,  how we have Experienced God in our lives and also  how we as a body can Experience God Together in a safe and comfortable environment where what we share is not taken outside the walls of our group. It will be a place where we can Share, Love, Laugh, Cry, Grow, Trust, Gain Knowledge and Understanding...Experience all these together with God at the core of each in everyone us and all around.

Looking forward to the  Sweetly Beautiful Women that I get to Experience God With!!
