Titus 2 Tuesday's

I love Titus 2 Tuesday. I make sure that is the one day I don't forget to blog. Today will be a little different. I have several women I want to focus one who have inspired me to be a better person.

It was August we headed to Amarillo for our first girls trip together(which I need another one) We laughed and we shopped. We also decided to get fit.The one on which I brag today is AMY H. She started my whole fitness freak attitude. We started running and she was such an encourager......I have since learned I really hate running(another blog post another day)Amy you always encouraged me and kept me going and showed me the gym and what to do, and gave me confidence to go on my own...you are an inspiration to me and a huge credit to my success.Love ya girl.....

Soon after that I decided to make my new year count and step out to make new friends. I figure I would have to take the first step, so I did. I asked my new friend CHARLA J. to lunch. She said yes. I encourage all of you to do this, get to know people, really get to know them. Anyway she was a blessing. She is so sweet and loves the Lord with all her heart, and turns to Him always and that inspires me to do the same. She has such a great spiritual side, I love that about you Charla, thanks for being a sweet friend.(we are due another lunch)

Next up is AMANDA KP. you may not really know it but you have encourage me when I was down, and lifted me up with your kind words. Weight loss was huge for me and you always were my cheerleader......we don't know each other very well , we say hi & bye from time to time(I'd like to change that) but in blog land your so sweet in your comments. Thank you.....words can touch a soul, yours did.

And finally,JACKIE......I am so glad your getting healthy with me. You keep me going because I don't want to disappoint you if I don't show up at the gym LOL.You are an inspiration when I was loosing all my weight you never said ugly things to me like some did and you never were jealous about my success. You celebrated sometimes more than me . You help me pick out a new wardrobe and were so glad to do it. You are and will always be my fasionista, and shopper.I have grown to love you and your girls like they were my own. You always listen even when I talk crazy........Thanks for just being you, and for inspiring me to be a better listener.

I will have tons more next week. Thank you ladies for making an impact on my life.Have a great Titus 2 Tuesday....Inspire someone today.............

Wow!! I am honored to appear on this post!! You're right...we need to get to know each other outside the blog world! :)

You, too, have been a great encourager to me!!! It's amazing how a little comment on a blog can go so far!!

Thanks for you kind and inspiring words!!! You make me want to be a better person and friend!!!

A girlfriend and I are just starting to get into this working out/weight loss process - it is SO MUCH easier to do it WITH someone else! I loved how you described each person and how they encouraged you!

I need to go out of my way to invite someone to lunch - thank you for the reminder!!

I would be honored to do a guest post. (I've never done one before; so we could figure it out together!)

What a great post...I have a friend from Memphis you need to give a call. She is new to town and has a blog jerriann28.blogspot.com
She is giving her testimony on May 7th at FBC = I think it would mean a lot to her for you and the ladies from your church to be there. You don't want to miss the revelation God has given her (plus I will be there and I WANT TO MEET YOU =)Ha!!!
Jerri is also starting the Esther -It's hard to be a woman study by Beth Moore in the library this summer! I think the two of you would have tons in common!!!

Dawn Jenkins said...

I'll see ya May 7th if you are there!!! Can't wait!

I feel privileged to be listed with this group of ladies!! You just don't know how much you motivate me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the girls LOVE you and look up to you!! (especially Montana)

What great friends you have! Don't you love those women you know will miss you if you don't make it to the gym? And they encourage you regardless of how slowly you might run? Or at least that's my experience!

Charla (SHar-la) said...

Know what's so cool? I hadn't even read this before I replied to your email!!!! You are SO sweet to list me on your Titus 2 post, and I feel the exact same way about you! I have prayed for God to show me new, Christian women to get to know and then I met you! AND, if you would like to go with me to hear JerriAnn speak on the 7th, you are more than welcome! It will be worth your time, ten-fold! And Dawn will be there, too! So, we can all have a little meet and greet! We can talk about it at lunch next week!

Amy said...

AWWWWW!! Right back at ya! You made my day girl!!:) You are quite the encourager yourself and I'm so proud of you! See ya at aerobics tomorrow? Lunch soon?

Dawn Jenkins said...

Hi, just wanted to stop by. I love meeting people in blog land and having a real connection to them and I look forward to meeting you. I am intrigued by what you do. Yes, we need to have lunch.

There's aerobics in town? Sometimes I stay on the ranch to long. Loved your post on friends. I love women friends, they are the best.
