I remember when I was first considering doing this and talking to Nancy and Kellie. There was a few days when, after the initial excitement wore off, I started thinking “What am I doing? What makes me think I can do this?” I prayed and asked God if I was really the one that he wanted to do this work for Him. Then I decided that, maybe he was going to lead me to the person that he wanted to do it. A little while later I was in the bathroom hanging a shower curtain. For me, there is just something about the bathroom. I don’t know why, but that seems to be where I get most of the answers to the questions that I ask God. I was hanging the shower curtain and wandering if I had any idea what I was getting myself into and wandering if I was the right person for the job and it was like I could see Noah building the Ark and God spoke to my heart and said, “I told Noah to build an Ark.” That was it… short and sweet. I said, Lord, you told Noah to build the Ark and he built it. You told me to build a Chapter of Women’s Wellness Society so I will build it. I was telling my son, Tyler, about it later that evening and in his quiet ‘matter-of-fact’ way, said “And you know mom, it had never even rained when God told Noah to build the Ark.” He got it! God told me, but it took my 13-year-old son got it! Noah had never seen rain and didn’t know what it was. But he built the Ark and made all the preparations for the flood. That was when I knew that I had work to do and that this Chapter belongs to God. I am getting ready for the flood. The flood of women who are looking for an excellent wellness support group like Women’s Wellness Society. This has all been a stretch for me because I was always kind of shy and quite. One day I took the quiz on Face book “What Bible character are you most like?” and it said I was most like Moses. There is another story about my life which goes with this that makes this answer special, but I will save that for another day. Anyway, I was telling my son, the 13-year-old, about it and he said “You know Moses couldn’t talk either. He had to get his brother to help him.” All I could say was “Lord send me a brother. If you want me to do this send me a brother.” Finally, to make a good story better, God didn’t just send me a brother. In less than a week, he sent me two. One of them knocked on my door and guess what his name is. His name is Aaron. That is another story that I will save for another day. All I wanted was to join WWS and be a part of that amazing group of women and have their support. Instead, in my search for help for myself, I have learned to look beyond self and to reach out to others. God is so good!
