Helping Women Delight in God’s Word

👋Hey Reader,

As we move toward the close of the year, I wanted to share something special with you. 🩷

This poem was shared recently with Ellen by one of our Community members during a mentoring exchange. 🌸✨ Perhaps it will meet you where you are as this year comes to a close.

When I think of You, Lord
A poem by Niki M.

Dear Jesus,
When I think of You, Lord, I see peace – like blossoms dancing on a gentle breeze.
When I think of You, Lord, I see love – like millions of trees with their branches spread wide, shielding the world below them from harm.
When I think of You, Lord, I see joy – like a thousand birds gliding through the air with pure abandon.
When I think of You, Lord, I see gentleness – like a hundred butterflies resting on a single flower.
When I think of You, Lord, I see righteous anger – like thunder rolling over the earth as far as the eye can see.
When I think of You, Lord, I see forgiveness – which shines like the cities after a downpour, washing the dust of sin away.

When I think of You, Lord, I see the sun, early in the morning, banishing the night’s darkness, slowly and steadily rising, warming the earth and giving life.

Thank You precious Jesus, I adore You.

As you read, notice which image lingers with you. There’s no need to rush past it.

What a gift it is to be part of a Community where people feel free to bring their prayers, reflections, creativity, and love for Jesus—just as they are.

As the new year approaches, if you find yourself longing for a place where you can walk with others in faith, reflection, and grace, we would be honored to walk with you. 🫶🏡 If you want to learn more about our Community, click here to explore more!

P.S. We're going to start a new Bible study with the Coffee and Bible Time Community in 2026—I hope we'll see you there 🫶

The Compassion of Christ When Life Gets Hard

Sometimes we only understand God’s grace when we hit rock bottom. The Gospels teach that Jesus doesn't disdain our pain: instead, He actively moves toward us with hope and restoration.

Step into the shoes of men and women in the Gospels who experienced Jesus' radical love and acceptance, and draw closer to Jesus—the One who still welcomes you to Himself and lavishes His grace upon you.
