I truly thank God for them...and I now know "in person" three more! God's Girls weekend was so much fun and I was so incredibly blessed to meet three of our fellow Mychurch gals. What incredible testimonies and what incredible women of God they are!
If you have ever wondered about Cheryl and is she really that happy and smiley and all that jazz in person.....well, duh! Yeah she is!!! Oh man, we laughed, we giggled, we had such fun at Starbucks. I really thought that they would ask us to leave...us old ladies in there (except for LaTonya, aka Suga) We truly did have a blast getting to know each other on a more personal level.
Trish...Cheryl's Aunt is a beautiful person both inside and out and I was so blessed to get to meet her too. Her work stories had a lot to do with our out of control laughter.....
PENGUINS!!!! (ASK HER, SHE WILL HAVE TO TELL YOU!)
Then there is my Suga also known to us by many more names....I can't even remember all of them, but her real name is LaTonya. I got to spend a lot more time with her and let me tell ya....what a true blessing she was to me. We shared, we cried, we had worship on Sunday both at my daughters church and that night at my church during a concert given by Marcy Priest! You might remember her from my blog about a musical blessing. (if you want a sampling of her music, visit my profile) We sat with Melissa, who of course is also a fellow Mychurch'er on here and member of my home church, NEWCHURCH.
It was so hard to say goodbye to LaTonya....we truly had a lot of fun. I am blessed to be close to Cheryl..and I promise not to wait so long in between our visits!! Can't believe all this time I have been on here, and I just now met her in person.......silly girl me! (yes, I know Bubbles, I was reprimanded for that ) I truly think Cheryl and I could be kin to each other somewhere down the line....what do you think, Cheryl?
Well, there is so much that I could blog about here, about my weekend with the girls. Just can't really put it all in words. Let's just say....
I was blessed! Oh So Blessed and I look forward to our next visit.....and even more....makes me want to meet more of you out there!

Would love it UVE! It was a blast Todd...such a blessed weekend for me! Mrs W...it was truly wonderful to see the smiles and hear the laughter....especially knowing the storms that have been raging in these women's lives....God is sooooo Good! xoxoxoxo back to you! Bubbles...They are all such beautiful women...inside and out! Just incredible!
What a BLESSING it is to read of your blessing!! Thanks for sharing this, Val! Great pics too, you guys are all so lovely together! I agree, getting together with other MyChurchers has got to be one of the coolest things, after you get to know and love them. Great post!!!!!
Val, couldn't agree with you more...what a blessed weekend...
Cheryl- Wow...she really is all that you would expect and so much MORE!!! Christ shines through her...And I think that there needs to be some DNA testing done on her and Val...the gene pools gotta be mixed...just look at the picture of them...but get them two together and *phew*
Trish- I'll never look at penguins the same or a group of children for that matter...even though I knew something was coming about the penguins...I still laughed so hard I cried...we were blessed to meet you Trish...and smiling is an understatement for me...I am STILL LAUGHING!!! God is Good...
Melissa- Just an wonderful person...it was a blessing to get to worship with her in the House of God...and her kids really are that cute!!!
And Val...my Valpal- what do you say about her?!?!?! LOL!! An INCREDIBLE LADY!!! Besides her crazy songs, silly voices, and wild stories...her heart is of gold and her smile is contaigous...such a blessing...can't wait to meet up with you again...this weekend was totally orchestrated by God...too many things that just went perfectly...with lots of suprises along the way...thanks Val for the pictures...they are better than what I thought...loved the TLC and the laying on of hands LOL!!...you did a great job...
Beautiful doesn't do these ladies justice...they are much more than that!!! Thanks be to God for a blessed time and friendships strengthened...and I also can't wait to meet more fellow mychurchers!!!
Oh my Suga! You make me tear up all over again! God is oh so, so ,so Good! Like I said...I am having a hard time with words on describing the blessing that I recevied! *phew* is right.
Thanks Mike and Sue. I loved reading about your experience as well! Cheryl and I have decided that we are having a Mychurch.org reunion....Centrally located...(which would be Oklahoma, of course) and I will host it at my own church! Maybe I can talk Marcy into providing the entertainment with her beautiful voice. I can just see it! Can you see it??
Trish....I would love to see water play pics...I bet those little penguins were just precious!
UVE....movie night, popcorn...you bettcha! Bring it on!!!!!
Man, I won't make it....sometimes I wish I won the lotto, maybe someday..Well, never been to the States and I have two reasons to go there. I would love to meet everyone and I dream of mychurch reunions. {sniffle} Don't forget the two parts hick/one part redneck girl here in Canada, EH? {lol, sniffle} I'll be alright. Really....lol
Glad ya'll got to hang out. I think that is really awesome!
We truly did have a great time! WE laughed so hard....smiled...Suga kept having to get up to get tissue! LOL
We only thought about Oklahoma as the reunion spot because we are pretty much in the middle of everyone. But don't let that stop anyone from getting together with someone close to you. Friendships indeed are a blessing and if not for mychurch....I wouldn't have met these ladies that have come to be a big part of my life. I only hope that I get to meet more!
I truly think Cheryl and I could be kin to each other somewhere down the line....what do you think, Cheryl?
I just saw that line...yes, I'm sure we are related!! LOL!!!
Hey, there's the link that talks about where and when to have a mychurch meeting...Cheryl's hosting the site!!! Throw your input there and we can see what works!!!
I'm still laughing over the whole cycle and protection and penguin things!!! LOL!! And I am sure you two are related also!! LOL!!
