I have been encouraged so much by the women of (in)courage over the past year. They have given me the opportunity to guest post on their amazing website. They have responded to my emails with words of grace and healing (thank you, Holley). They have used 140 characters on Twitter to lift me up in prayer and strengthen my heart when it’s been broken or weary or just in need of a friend.
I look up to these women, whom I’ve never meet in real life, so much. More than I can possibly express in a blog post or on Twitter. Thank you, women of (in)courage, for being the community I desperately wish I had in my little corner of PA. I have no doubt that if I met you in real life, there would be hugs, tears, laughter, and lots and lots of chocolate. Oh and coffee. We can’t forget the coffee. Maybe a salted caramel latte? 🙂
Just because I haven’t YET met these wonderful women outside of the internet community doesn’t mean I won’t one day. And even better? The chance to introduce some of my true real life friends to my online sisters. Watch the video below for the trailer to the first ever in(RL) un-conference, hosted by (in)courage and happening in April. It’s only $10 for a day of connecting in real life. I’m hosting – and so are about 150+ other women around the world. Connect with us. Join us. Bring chocolate. Wear pjs and drink coffee and eat chocolate. Cry the ugly cry and let yourself be encouraged.
Oh and get the tissues before you watch this. If you aren’t in tears by the time you get to Ann’s section, I applaud your self control.
Oh Crystal, you bless us so much with your words. And yes, I bawled my way through this trailer too!
