Let's Get Started!!!!

Welcome Ladies to the 2016 summer "Together We Are One Wise Woman" book blog!  I am so glad you have joined us as we adventure together through this summer’s book by Angie Smith, What Women Fear.  And I DO think it will be adventure!  I am so excited that we have women from all over the globe joining us this summer!!!  I know we will be blessed by the insight the Lord will give each of us.  Every Monday, throughout the summer, there will be blog post here about the chapter we will be addressing that week.  This will also be posted on the DV Women’s Ministry Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/groups/114205638666308/?ref=br_tf.  You are more than welcome to join us in either place or in both!! 

We will be reading the introduction in Angie’s book because it is SO good, I don’t want anyone to miss it.  So on the very first week, beginning June 20, we will be talking about the introduction to What Women Fear. 

What I would love to do is have you introduce yourself your first post and give a little background, so we can get to know each other better.

Let me start us off:

My name is Cherri Thompson and I will be hosting the blog this summer.  I live on a small “ranchette” on the western edge of the Antelope Valley in Southern California where we have Australian Shepherds, a cat that is SUPPOSED  to be mouser…not so much…chickens: Tinker Bell, Ariel, Belle and Prince Charming (take a guess who named the chickens???), tortoises, a bearded dragon, a pond with a few fish, toads and frogs (ones that have managed to survive me:) and a family of ravens who kick out a baby each year for us to care for. This is last year's crazy raven, Pinkie:). 
Weird, but true!  I work at the Desert Vineyard Church in Lancaster, CA as an assistant to Nancy Parker, our Women’s Ministry Director…the best job EVER!  I have six children and soon will have an even dozen grands!  I love Bible study, working with my husband around our place, gardening and hanging out with family and friends.

I am excited about what the Lord has ahead for us and  some guest writers who will be contributing this summer! 

Before I go for today, I would like to encourage you girls to read Angie Smith’s book, “I Will Carry You.”  It is a tough and breathtakingly  beautiful read…I had tears streaming down my face as I read it in one afternoon, but I think it will give you even more of an appreciation for Angie and her ability to speak on this subject.  Definitely a book worth your time to read!!! See you next week!!!!  Have a blessed week!!!
