Sisterhood

This has been a good week for trying events I know nothing about. I went to a friend's house and found this great group of women who wanted to pray and worship together. After the awkwardness of women making sure everyone was happy with what was going on and we were all on the same page, we stumbled into music. The first song was rough, the second better, and we began hitting our stride. Someone asked me to get out my drum. I was hesitant at first but got lost in the music, and as a soothing beat began things changed. One friend started making up a song about Song of Songs. I knew what the background part was supposed to be. To me, this was the kind of worship I could sink into and forgot all about time and place. Hooray for no power points!

In the sisterhood we were able to get a glimse of other women's gifts and affirm them- speaking, prayer, hospitality. My music was affirmed, and I had needed a safe place for that. No one talked about lip gloss or each other's clothes the whole time.

2 nights of no small talk!!!!!!
It was wonderful to have a week of getting fed intellectually and spiritually.
