OT- Can I just say that I love all my HODies!

[water2wine]

The women here are just so amazing. I love the contentment and the way we all lift each other up in a world that wants to tear us down. I know always when I come here it will be uplifting and affirming of the different calls God has for us individually. And I love that people are all so honest about the struggles but also embarrassing the blessings we have in our children and of course in the blessing we all have in HOD.

We have a little thing we have in our house it is called "group hug time". Someone calls it out and everyone comes running then we see who was hugged the most or see how long we can go. You know kids it is all about competition. But can I tell you when I come here the atmosphere is really is "group hug count our blessings, help each other out and love our children the best we can while we teach them with our best there is". I love that. You all are women I know desire to be Christ like and I just wanted to say what a breath of fresh air and a blessing it is.

"Group hug time!"

Water2Wine, thank you for posting a wonderful note. I agree completely. I love that we can all come in here and be real and instead of feeling attacked or being made to feel inferior to the moms who have it all together, we get uplifted, prayed for, and encouraged. And when we have something fun, exciting, and hilarious to share- we know that we can come here and everyone will share in those good times too!

Kelly- I love that group hug!!!!!!

Wow, you know this post just touched my heart, I just sat down to look at what was going on,
on the board and I was thinking to myself, reading over some things how great it is to have
so many like-minded mommies on this board always here for each other.

Then I read this one, and I thought ahhh, just what I was feeling in my heart was written down in words
Thanks!

We serve a Great and Mighty God, that people who live thousands of mles away, never
having met, can minister to each other, in a way that unites us more than just being
homeschoolers! Awsome

W2W thanks so much for this post! I love having a board of like-minded ladies that I can come share with and laugh with. This has been such a blessing to me!

I love it here too and I've only been on here a short time. I feel at peace on this board and know that the ladies here will only encourage and help me. I am very happy that I have chosen to go with HOD and can't wait to give my first weekly update! I love those

I'm SO late to the group hug, but I'm hugging all of you back anyway! That was just what I needed today. What a wonderful place to laugh, share, cry, uplift and pray for one another. You ladies make the board what it is! I can sense a difference on this board, and I know it stems from each of your unfailing commitment to the Lord. We are blessed with each of you!

Blessings,
Carrie
