Hello Friends,

If there are times you feel like an ugly lump of coal, I'm right there with you. During those times I turn to God who tells me that I am beloved, brilliant and beautiful! We are multifaceted. Though we may have wintery seasons when we feel buried and forgotten, God's Word tells us that we are cherished and infinitely valuable.

There are millions of diamonds, but God made each of us unique keepsakes. It's no coincidence that diamonds are among the hardest substances on earth. They have endured an epic journey through crushing conditions. Their atoms have bonded together becoming saturated and strong. Together as women we have endured despite difficulties. While we each have experienced distinct journeys, we too can bond together in spirit providing us with renewed strength.

We are better together,

Lisa
