"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.  As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9)."

My world began to, well not began to but I became fully aware that it was crashing around me on December 21, 2010.  When you look back over events you begin to see where God started orchestrating things long before you were even aware.  That is how it was for me. 

In February of 2010 I met the mother of a little boy in my daughters Kindergarten class and it turned out we attended church at Cornerstone and that she was also involved in Creative Memories which I had began several scrap book projects with Creative Memories in the past and she invited me to join her to finish them.  In June of 2010 while sitting by our community pool I met the mother of a girl in my son's 4th grade class, who also attended Cornerstone and she and her husband lead a marriage ministry small group and was employed by Cornerstone in the Marriage Ministry, she invited my children's father and I to that small group, but sadly he wanted to go, and I even though I wanted to, I had another group I was attending that night and thought I would be able to attend their next session.  In June of 2010 I met and connected with a lady during a 13 week Financial Peace Ministry class who was the first to catch me just days following my world crashing in December.  In September 2010, I met the Coordinator for CornerZone the childcare ministry at Cornerstone when she interviewed me for a part-time position, and then finally one of the mother's of an infant I feel in love with while working at Cornerstone, she later became the Elementary Coordinator for the church. 

These women make up the net that God constructed to catch me as I fell face first.  The Circle has expanded since to include even more extremely important women, each of whom have changed my life and carried me through the roughest waters I've ever been through.  They have woven themselves into my life to create a support structure that never let me fall to depths that I would have easily plummeted to had God not called them and I had not listened when He said REACH.
