Women of Faith Friends

Being in a massive room with thousands of other Christian women worshiping and praising the Father is an unparalleled experience. The Women of Faith conference was definitely one of those experiences when one can physically feel the presence of God.. Amazing. and in the midst of the crowd, friendships are formed and strengthened. It was exciting for me to have my friend Tammy along. She's a treasure and a joy to hang out with. We have not had a lot of time together lately and it was great to catch up and grow closer. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

And while in line for lunch on our first day there, we began visiting with another woman, Rodica. We learned that she came alone to the conference, despite inviting people from her church family to join her. What began as a casual conversation in that line has become a friendship. Because of assigned seating, we were unable to sit together, but the three of us shared some meals together, exchanged contact information, and have been in touch since the conference ended, with plans to hopefully attend the conference together next year. I believe God caused our paths to cross. What a blessing to have Christian fellowship.

Now, I know that friends can be made, friendships renewed, etc. without going to a conference. You certainly don't have to go to Women of Faith to experience God. I just want to encourage you to reach out to those around you with the love of Christ. Be a blessing to others and you will, in turn, be blessed. I count my Women of Faith weekend, Tammy, and Rodica among my countless blessings.
