LOOK AT THESE WOMEN

What are they doing?

Simply gathering water at the well?



Indulge me for a brief moment and imagine yourself right there among them.



Quiet. Listen... do you hear them?

Do you hear the laughter from those women headed off to the left?

I wonder what happened that was so amusing.



What about the group on the top right... they're gathered together,

most likely praying, encouraging, comforting one another.



Those around the well, do you think the older ones are giving the younger ones advice?

Training them, showing the the way?



Do you think these women look forward to their daily journeys to the well?

The journey where they will see other women, their friends.

The journey during which they share their daily burdens and triumphs.



What if you had a place to go like that?

A place away from the world that sneers at you, laughs at you, keeps you down.

A place to laugh.

A place to encourage and be encouraged.

A place to comfort and be comforted.

A place to share your wisdom and gain from anothers.

A place to teach and a place to learn.

A place to spend time at your Saviors feet.

A place to start your week off right.

A place.... like the well.



Does that sound like a journey you would like to take?

If so, join us on a journey to the well.

Crossroads



I sit at a crossroads.

I'm completely torn in 2 different directions.

Have you ever found yourself here? You look one direction and it's as different as night and day from what you see in the other direction, but both are equally pleasing.

I thought I had made up my mind to go one direction, but I miss what lies the other way.

And this is just my inner turmoil. I haven't even brought to the table that of my husband and children.

We are all in agreeance that we are unable to choose which way to go.

I need to figure out what's going to be the best thing for me.  I need to strip it down to the bare essentials.  I need to stop considering all the extra things that make each each path appealing and just do what's right for me.  I need to get in the Word.
