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.

Welcome...

This is a spinoff of my Journey to Jia blog.  Journey to the Well is a dream of Joint Heirs Adoption Ministry partners, Renea and myself.  It was our desire to be a part of a group that had an infinite yearning to sit at our Saviors feet and spend time in His Word. 
Our goal is to be in pursuit of Proverbs 31 and Titus 2.  We felt if we started our own home biblestudy, women might feel more comfortable to join us rather than at a church.  We hope that as we begin with a small core group, that each of us will reach out to friends, who will in turn reach out to their friends and want to join.
Our intention is for this to be a time of prayer, devotion, worship, study etc.  We need a group of women who desire to follow God and want to be empowered by other women with the same goal.
Ideally, this blog will be used to follow along with our group.  I hope to post wonderful things that happen within our group, what we're studying, our prayer requests and just some thoughts in general.  Please feel free to meet with us at the well via this blog.  We'd love to hear from you.
Anxious to be at His feet....
Joy
