The Women in My Life

This is Heidi and Alta (me). She is my first born, a darlin girl if you ever met one. She is the Mother of my Grandson Hayden 15, and Grandaughter Maddie Mae, 13. She works hard as a Pharmacist. And is the "Family" cab driver when she isn't working. I love her very much. She is a good daughter and friend. God blessed her with the best Husband and Dad to my Grandkids, Kenny. I couldn't ask for more. God is GOOD!!!

This is Samantha and Alta (me). She is my youngest daughter and my little Sam. She is Mother to my two beautiful Grandaughters. Ciara 14 and Denise 17. They are very special girls. I love all three of them. Sam is between jobs right now but has been blessed as a stay at home Mom for a few months. So she has had special time to herself. She loves God and we love sharing about what He is doing in our lives. She is married to Dan, a very cool guy who manages a very large softball org. in Indiana. He also coaches Denise in softball. She travels a lot to play and is hoping for a scholarship at a good college so she can continue to play softball. Ciara is our brainy one and she loves to read and Facebook. And she loves God. She is a very cool girl.God is GOOD!!

 As you can see I am on the front porch. It is my favorite place to be and this day I am spending it with my sweet girlfriend Tanya. We have had a wonderful friendship for a few years now. We enjoy doing Bible studies together and have both lead groups of women in our church. We are Beth Moore fans and love her studies, thats what we do most. We went to Springfield, Ill. last November to see her at Living Proof Live. It was awesome!We will be going to Beth's Simulcast this Saturday April 24 in Indy. Tanya is a special lady, and well beyond her years in godly wisdom. She is a Sister in Christ and good friend. God is GOOD!!

These are "His Beachgirls" we love the SON!! Backrow ~ Sarah, Barb, Donna, Melinda, Dawn,&; Sue.

Frontrow~Brenda, Sharon Alta & Margaret. There are eleven of us but Laura wasn't with us that night.

We are what I like to call "forever friends" we have been together for several years now. Barb and Donna and I have been friends for over 40 yrs. We picked up the rest along the way...smile. We all have God stories of His glory. That is what has knit us together forever. He has shown Himself strong in our lives.
We pray for each other and our families, and come along side to encourage each other in our faith. We do projects togther for community shelters and make blankets for the Linus Project. We serve in our local Great Banquet community in any position they will give us. We love to share a special time for birthday's and have parties and celebrate. I love them like crazy! God is GOOD!!

This is Alta, Miriam and Patti. They are very dear friends and lovers of God.
Powerful prayer warriors and the best girls to serve with. We were blessed to serve on the Great Banquet team in August 2009. Patti (seated) was the Lay Director and Miriam and I were her Assistants. God showed off for us that weekend and many ladies were blessed and we were blessed greatly. I love them forever. God is GOOD!!

Bible Babes. I had them in class for Bible study. What a joy and privilege to be a part of sharing the Word of God and life togther. They are the best . I love each one of them and I am so grateful to have spent time loving on them and being so blessed with them loving on me. Standing: Brenda, Donna, Susan,Sherrie, Caprice, Me, Donna. And Joy is kinda bending there") Seated:Debbie, Jenny & Melinda. I love these girls and their love for God. What a blessing they are to my life. God is GOOD!!

Jinn is my faithful Babe Chic. They don't come any sweeter and delightful than Jinn. She is a beautiful women of God. Her thirst for more of Him is inspiring to me. She is an encourager, a Princess Prayer Warrior. She is always a joy to hang with and I have loved her for many years now. She speaks volumes into my life and keeps me wanting to know more and give more. God is GOOD!!!

This is the Bible Babes of last semester at our church. We did Breaking Free with Beth Moore. Tanya, my front porch friend, was the Teacher and did a great job leading us. What a special honor to be in her class. I loved it!! I had a blast with these darlin girls.

 God is GOOD!!

Well, this gives you an idea of how special it is to have wonderful women in your life.  Women have such a special place in my life and ministry. I developed a passion for them years ago while breaking free of my own junk and pain from my past. When God showed up big in my life and began freeing me of my bondage I  wanted to help women know Him and know His power to set them free. I love to encourage them in their walk, teach them what God has shown me through His Word, and take them to the next level of faith. What a joy God has given me to be a part of what He is doing today in the church, and in  the lives of women. I wake up daily purposeful to make a difference in my sphere of influence to His glory. 

To make Him known, and to love Him more and know Him better. God is GOOD!!!

 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus,giving thanks to God the Father through Him." Colossians 3:16-17

Simply His,
