"Women friends become the face of God to one another - the face of grace, of
delight, of mercy."

"We birth life in others by inviting them into deeper realms of healing, to deeper walks with God, to deeper intimacy with Jesus. A woman is not less of a woman because she is not a wife or has not physically borne a child. The heart and life of a woman is much more vast than that. All women are made in the image of God in that we bring forth life. When we enter into our world and into the lives of those we love and offer our tender and strong feminine hearts, we cannot help but mother them."

-by John and Stasi Eldredge, Captivating (Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul)

Every Saturday, I'm blessed to have a group of women whom I can share my life with, and at the same time they share their lives with me. It is always inspiring, comforting, and encouraging. We would laugh, or even cry, share experiences, problems, frustrations, disappointments, and whatnots. We pray for each other, worship the Lord together and talk, talk and talk.

Every week we share our hearts to each other, every week I see the face of God - a face of grace, of delight, and of mercy through these women.

And it is always... captivating.
