**Thank you Melissa for this beautiful picture of just a few of the lovely women that have become sisters to me…while you are not all pictured here you are a part of my story. Thank you.**
There is a community of women that have become family to me.
While we started out as strangers a little over a year ago, today so many of you are women that I couldn’t imagine going through life without.
I have watched as you have grown in your God-sized dreams.
I have seen some doors open, and some close…but always at the guiding hand of God. With hearts full of faith and a desire to seek His plan you, my sisters, have journeyed forward.
I have seen you and I have grown because of it.
Your faith has been an inspiration to me.
Your courage has helped me fight my own fears.
Your strength and prayers have lifted me up in my times of weakness.
My life is changed because of you, and I am so grateful.
I write here in this space because you have encouraged me, told me that my stories matter too.
I hope that this will always be a place that I can do the same for those who pause here.
My dear dreamer sisters, thank you.
My words don’t adequately express my love for each of you.
You are my people, my tribe and I am blessed.
Joining Holley Gerth and her 2014 Encouragement Challenge. One day a week we take to spread joy to one another! Need a little love this week? Hop on over here and be encouraged!

A lot of beautiful, familiar faces in that photo. It’s such a blessing to find people who inspire and encourage you! And I appreciate so much how God provides them in places we sometimes least expect them. Visiting from #coffeeforyourheart.
