Welcome to Sharing the Journey

Just a few short years ago women communicated in only a few ways. If we weren't able to talk face to face we had two basic options - telephone or the letter (now affectionately known as 'snail mail'). In today's fast paced world those two forms of communication are nearly extinct. We text, we blog, we twitter, and stay in touch through Facebook.

Sharing the Journey is one of many ways the Women's Ministry team at Hillcrest Baptist Church will use to encourage, uplift, and keep you informed of opportunities to join other women at fellowships, Bible studies, local ministry projects, etc. We welcome your comments and want to hear from you!

Initially, you'll be hearing primarily from me (Molly). Being relatively new to the world of blogging, you may get a chuckle or two as I adapt to a new way of talking with you. From time to time you will also hear from other Hillcrest women so you will get a variety of perspectives on living out the Christian walk. And that is what sharing the journey is all about. As we walk through this life with all of it's ups and downs, struggles and victories, times of grief and times of joy, we learn to take a step at a time. To rely on Jesus Christ and to find that He is truly sufficient. But you know what?! I have found that even when I know that I know that I know He is, He has so wonderfully brought others alongside of me to walk with me. And that has made life all the richer.

So dear sisters - those I've met, those I've yet to meet, and those I will only meet through these posts - I pray that you will find encouragement, strength, hope and joy here. More importantly, I pray that you will find your joy in the Lord and will know the depths of His love for you!
Ephesians 3:17-18

Hugs,
Molly
