Thankful Thursday

Once again this is a first for me. The always wonderful Iris from Sting My Heart hosts Thankful Thursday each week, so since I had much to be thankful for, I thought I'd also give this meme a whirl.

Memes are such a wonderful way of meeting new bloggers. In fact yesterday I met a couple of women that I hadn't noticed in the blogosphere before, it was great. So if you pop in through this meme today, then first of all I want to say that I'm thankfull for you. :)

Secondly I'm thankful for Iris, Laurel, and Lynn who stood between me and the enemy last week when I was feeling a little overwhelmed with all that life threw my way. It's such a comfort to know that they cared enough to stand still for a moment in prayer for a sister in Christ. I love you girls and all of the women in Christ.

And on that same topic, I'm thankful for my new friend Lisa who wrote the most awesome post this week about this very same topic of fighting the enemy on behalf of our sisters in Christ. It's such an empowering piece of writing. If you haven't read it, I encourage you to take a peek sometime this week: You Can't Have Her!

And lastly (but not leastly)this week, I'm thankful for Denise from Shortybears Place who never ceases to amaze me with the encouragement she constantly leaves in the prayer room at CWO. Late at night, I see her alone in the room knelt down at the throne before God bringing her sisters in Christ before Him in prayer.
