GCR Women

It has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life to have praying friends.  Being able to share prayer requests with my sisters gives me a peace and comfort that's not easy to find.  And being asked to pray for them and their prayer requests is a humbling honor. In this day of texts and emails, it is so convenient to reach out to our "prayer team" and ask for prayers over anything that's on my heart - big or little.  I hope you have your own personal prayer team like I do - a group of trusted, praying Christians who will drop to their knees on a moment's notice and lift you up before the throne of Jehovah God through powerful name of Jesus Christ.  I hope that you are yourself such a Christian. In Jesus' Name! Patrice James 5:16 (NIV) Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous woman can accomplish much.

In just over 42 days, John and I will once again travel to Virginia for a fall get-away.  We didn't get to go to Virginia last year, so we're extra excited about going this year. We've each set countdown clocks on our iPhones and fairly frequently, we check them to see how much closer it is to the time we depart. Those of you who know me won't be surprised to find out that I've had most of the details of this trip planned for months.  Airline tickets have been purchased.  Rental car reserved.  Hotel reservations are in place.  Even dinner reservations made at some of our favorite restaurants. One of the places we're staying is a little cabin high up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia - a beautiful spot. There's a website for this cabin where I made our reservations and it details what we can expect when we arrive.  When we get discouraged or worn out, we open that site and read the poetic description of this lovely, quiet place we long to visit.  N
