Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

A Hug

Wow.  Today someone hugged me.  Someone who knows a bit about me.  Didn't push me away or pretend not to see me.  Ok, someone else did that...but the one who reached out and pulled me in did wonders for my heart.  She gave me hope and made me feel more courageous.  People like her and she didn't push me away or ignore me.  What a difference one person can make in life.  In lives.  I know this.  I like to be that kind of person.  Who says the good word.   Or sees.  Or hugs.  Or....just simply stays.  But, it had been awhile since someone had reached out to me and I hadn't realized how desperately I was needing it.  Glad I didn't cry in the midst of the crowd.  But, glad I was brave enough.  To go.  To stay.  I hid some, but I went.
And I got a hug.  It helped. 
grace to you.
