I was blessed by the older women in my life who mentored me and I will always be thankful that they were Godly women as well. Hey!!

The Lord had me wait many years for my husband and it would take a book to share and explain it all, but I had peace about it and loved the Lord through it. So now I am 48 and have 2 year old. I get asked all the time if she is my granddaughter. I just smile and tell them she is mine and a gift from the Lord. He is so faithful! I do struggle with feelings of fitting in socially but I take comfort in knowing that I can be an encouragement to others. You are a great encouragement to me. Thank you for your love and advice that you share!Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08356506734835725327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440197089354350362.post-38257262493601879712009-02-17T14:29:00.000-08:002009-02-17T14:29:00.000-08:00I can so identify with everything you're saying, K...I can so identify with everything you're saying, Kathi! I finished my degree after I was married and before I had kids, also. That scripture has been very motivating for me, as well. Lately the LORD and my dear husband have been nudging me to move forward into God's purpose for my life: encouraging and teaching other women with what God has given me through the scriptures and the experiences He has given me. That's one of the reasons I started my blog this January. Thank you for your honesty and example, Kathi!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14399912425376471269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440197089354350362.post-918006166235834282009-02-17T13:51:00.000-08:002009-02-17T13:51:00.000-08:00We just started a 6 week series in my womens bible...We just started a 6 week series in my womens bible study called Apples to Gold, it is a study book with lessons being taught by the older experienced women.
