Every Tuesday evening I go to church for bible study. It's one of my favorite times of the week. A time for prayer and fellowship and learning. I'm so grateful for those couple of hours away from my house, and in the presence of other ladies who understand life out here.
My last church experience ended badly, over a decade ago, and the pain for a long time was raw and unhealed; a wound. But coming to this church and making time for me, has healed that wound into what is now a painless scar. I still bear the marks of what happened, but the pain is gone. And I am so grateful.

When I show up, the kids are still leaving Truth Seekers, and I love the opportunity to visit with them. I adore these girls.

And on the walk home, I love contemplating how I'm going to apply all that I've learned to this life that I'm living. The thought for this week:
"The most important aspects of our lives cannot be rushed.
We cannot love, think, eat, laugh or pray in a hurry."
