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.

There Is Hope

The life of Jesus is bracketed by two impossibilities:
a virgin's womb and an empty tomb.

Jesus entered our world through a door marked "No Entrance"
and left through a door marked "No Exit."

And for all who feel it is impossible to overcome the situations facing them, sickness, death, divorce, persecution, loneliness, despair, addictions, Jesus stands at the human door marked "No Way" and knocks.

There is always a way. HE is the way! What a blessed reminder! From someone who has thought something was impossible and has been shown that with God all things are possible! Living the impossible dream, and loving every single moment of it! ♥
