Eventually, the weather got too cold in our outside pool, and with social distancing, we couldn\u2019t do water aerobics together in our inside lane pool. We didn\u2019t want to leave each other, so the Lord led me to start a fellowship group. My sisters-in-Christ meet once a month to share our Father\u2019s love and life together. We are from different denominations and backgrounds but we are so blessed to have each other, especially when the world around us is in overwhelming turmoil. Our group is open to anyone who would like to join us.\u00a0At our last meeting, we discovered how safe we feel to be with each other. We find the freedom to be ourselves and talk freely about our struggles and fears. Feeling safe, we don\u2019t worry about being judged or rejected by each other. Therefore, we have an amazing opportunity to pray, not only for our own needs, family\u2019s needs, but also for our nation, and the world. Isn\u2019t that wonderful?\u00a0 We see each other as precious jewels, rubies, and diamonds given to each other by our Lord.\u00a0 We listen and choose to hear each other\u2019s hearts, no matter how difficult it may be. We have discovered the only things that divide and separate us are politics, the world\u2019s ideas, the <em>flesh<\/em>, sin, and the evil one. We choose to embrace the truth of who we are in Christ and say \u201cNo\u201d to the lies of the enemy. Our little group is awesome! We not only pray together but play together; <em>Girls Night Out events<\/em>, hang out at the pool, and other things. Last night some of us went to the Alahambra, its a dinner and play theater. We saw a play called, <em>&#8220;Smoke on the Mountain.&#8221;<\/em> I laughed so hard until I cried. I couldn&#8217;t laugh anymore, my stomach was hurting. The food was simply amazing! My husband, Tony went with us to be our bodyguard<em> (just kidding)<\/em> husbands are free to join us.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t wait until our next meeting and outing.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What about you? Have you found a safe place in a sister or brother-in-Christ where you can be free to share your heart, fears, and struggles? I pray that you find one.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jesus said, \u201cIn this world, YOU WILL HAVE trials and tribulations.\u201d Great News! He has overcome ALL of them for us. Always remember, we need each other to encourage and console each other with the consolation we have received from our Lord because we are Jesus&#8217;s body on the earth.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>YOUR PRECIOUS BODY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Copyright \u00a9 2005 by Tresca S.
