WHAT DO WOMEN NEED?

Now I bet you have all heard it said at some point that men need a "Band of Brothers". Well when I heard this it immediately got me thinking about what us as women need? I spent some time in prayer and thoughtful prayer about this – a few days actually and asked the Lord to show me what kind of sisterhood we could have together as women.
I played with a few ideas and then one day it came to me – and I knew it was the right one. Men need a Band of Brothers and women need a “Medley of Sisters”, this spoke to me in many ways. You see a medley – if you look it up - is a number of different sounds put together to create something that sounds beautiful.
We are unique and each one of us has a different gift and quality which we can bring before our Lord and use to bring glory to Him. But what I was really focusing on was “women building up women”, encouraging each other and being there for each other and I thought that just as medley is made up of different sounds and instruments, that is what a Medley if Sisters should be. When we join our hearts together across the world, through families and friendships and we each bring our own unique “sound” we create a Medley that is pleasing to the Lord. By loving each other and using our gifts and teaching others how to use their special gifts and learning from one another we become a beautiful medley that brings pleasure to our Savior.
Afterall, that is our main objective.
I think that this is a good way of describing the CWO blogring. For those who don’t know this is the Christian Women On Line Blog Ring, which I joined (See their link on the bottom left). The CWO is a group of women who blog, but they do so much more than that. They love each other, support each other and pray for each other and this is what creates a medley.
We can all be part of the Medley of Sisters – in church, on the internet, through friendships, and wherever we go. And people will “hear” our Medley.

I really have such a heart for women and the important role we play in society and everyday life. And I feel very blessed to know so many wonderful christian women who have enriched my life in so many ways, here on the internet and also at church and at home.

So, let me be the first to say – welcome to the “Medley of Sisters”, you are appreciated and loved and your gifts, whatever they may be are important and necessary. I feel blessed and proud to be creating a beautiful sound for Jesus with you.
