Some of the Women I Love

I was thinking this morning on the women I love. The list is very long. To me, that means I am very blessed. I love these many women for different reasons on one hand and for some of the same reasons on the other. The following fall in the "same" category (you know how I love categories):
* I love them for the life that exudes from their being
* I love them for their beauty - though varied, they are all beautiful
* I love them for their laughs - they all have wonderful laughs
* I love them for their mischievousness - with some, you must dig deep to see, but all have it
* I love them for their love of the Trinity -Father, Son & Holy Spirit- & how they relate to Him
I could go on (I love lists as much as categories), but what about their differences that I love?
This is harder to express, but not hard to feel, because, sometimes when I thing of them as a group, all their faces and their attributes, gifts, personalities, etc., get mingled and mixed in a lovely pool of memory for me. But, I will list those loved ones that come to mind and one of things I love about each. Keep in mind, they may share some of these attributes too, but in my opinion, each one owns the one listed with passion and excellence:
* I love Kathy Hawk for her spiritual passion and strength (definitely birthed from her joy) which enables her to look for the righteous and loving way, no matter how painful.
* I love Erica Prosser for her sense of humor and her conflict of person. For although this conflict causes her pain, I believe she uses it to choose God in her weakness and therefore she is strong. She inspires me to do the same with my conflict.
* I love Trish Trueblood for her pure heart. She continually meets hard situations with a positive outlook and a trust in her God.
* I love Ashlee Bradford for her encouraging and kind words which heal my heart.
* I love Pam Park for her mix of great intelligence, great passion and great humility. Her love for me sooths my soul.
* I love Francesca Hafner for the way she submits herself and all of who she is to God and out of that submission her being she is evolving into a mighty ministry to people. My heart melts when I observe how she strengthens others and leads them out of captivity as she also leads me.
* I love Cherith Newman for her depth of maturity clothed in a protection of innocence. Your pure heart with protect your destiny.
* I love Amanda Chavez for her love of life, although she sometimes protects it from showing, God will use this love of life to bring people to righteousness: Enthusiasm in humility of heart breads life.
* I love Jennifer Chavez for the passion of her quest. The enemy has attempted to destroy her through very deep heart wounds, but she has look on the face of Jesus and she shall never turn back from that light. The light is and will do surgery to heal the wound and bring new flesh to her heart.
* I love Rachel Laughlin for her kindness. She chooses humility and kindness and yet is not afraid to delve into the detail of the hard decisions and how they need to change her.
* I love Candy Hallford because she never gives up, never stops seeking Jesus, never stops seeking His prize, though she dies in the process and though she doesn't seek perfectly.
* I love Ashley Caperton for her strength of faith and how she continually unwaveringly applies it to her life and prayer for others.
* This brings me to Ginny. I love Ginny Hawk for her strength of covenant intertwined with her pureness of heart. She will love to the end.
* I love Krissy Hawk for her deep passion and prophetic nature which she has used as a bridge to leave off all fear and seek God with no reservation - no matter what it looks like.
* I love Donna Halliburton for her infectious laughing spirit and her strength to serve which is birthed from the deep joy it brings her.
* I love Gail Vinson for her faithful friendship and her unconditional love - she always makes me feel safe.
* I love Brandi Wilson for her example of how to be a princess with a heart of humility. She doesn't know this, but her princess heart has helped free me from a poverty mentality.
* I love Becky Cauthen for her heart of longing for freedom, freedom for herself, her family, her church, for all. I love they way she goes for her passions at the risk of failure, but with the fruit of great success. She, like Erica, allows her inner conflict to spur her on to righteousness.
* I love Monica Reid for the calming love she wraps others in. She is trustworthy.
* I love Amy Yates - to use a cliche: "her beauty is not just skin deep". She also has a princess heart wrapped in humility. Many of the lovely women I love will be or are now becoming queens and learning how to rule with love - Amy is a prime example.
* I love Kristina Reedy - her energy and fountain of the life of Jesus is very powerful in her.
* I love Rose Melton - my beautiful rose. Her humility and faithfulness astound me. Her hugs are a healing tonic to our bones and spirits.
* I love the lively Kristi Ancheta. I love her innocence and mischievousness. I love the root of deep love in her that motivates her to serve and faithfulness.
* I love Kristi Belcher and her adorable sense of humor which springs from a spicy and loving heart. Her enthusiasm for life and ability to lead inspire me.
* I love Wendy Barron. She may be the most "I will obey my God and never give up on what He has told me to do" person I know. She is a sweet friend.
* I love Dana Bell. How I love Dana. She has become a great joy to me. I love her passion for people. I love her many stories. I love her faith and faithfulness - because of which she has and will be healed completely: body, soul and spirit.
Now you see some of the many reasons I am blessed among women, blessed among friends, blessed among sisters.
