  14. I’m new to (in)courage (not new to Dayspring!) and I am encouraged to see these new faces. And the diversity! I will be reading. And writing! Welcome.

  15. In Courage,

    Welcome new writers. Aarti I thought I had heard of you before. Love watching you on Food Network while you judge contests. I know your writing will be just a spicy & wonderful as you are. Thankful for the rest of you. We are blessed to have such a great diversity of writers. People from various races, ages, parts of this country. I know you all have many varying experiences to share with us. Can’t wait to read your stories.

    Blessings 🙂

  16. Welcome! I am looking forward to reading your articles and getting to know you all.

  17. They all sound amazing! I can’t wait to see what God has in store!

  18. Welcome sweet sisters and sojourners in Christ. Special welcome to Aarti — to NC. I live in the Raleigh area and you will love the NC Farmers Market (and other smaller markets) for fresh fruits and veggies.
    Blessings all,
    Bev xx

  19. Can’t wait to hear how God uses you in this forum. I’m looking forward to living and learning through your words! God Bless sisters!!

  20. Jami Nato – you don’t know if you have been married 12 or 15 years?! As a math major and an OCD detail person – how can that be?! And 4 children ages 14 – 16? Some of the children in the picture look far younger than 14. I think there is a story or two there among those parentheses! Second marriages? Adoptions? Can’t wait to hear from you!

  21. What a privilege to meet all of your through your brief introduction. There are so many more layers I am looking forward to hearing through your upcoming contributions. We are all stories, some written in very dark ink with a myriad of doodles on the page and some with splashes of color with dark images overlapped. Whatever the case, we all have our “hard” that we navigate which is why I love stories. I love to hear the strength and resiliency of my sisters through the “hard” and laugh and smile through the sunny spots. Write on – be your own – love others and share our stories…that is life.

  22. Woohoo! Super exciting! Welcome to you all!

    When I read your names in the newsletter, I thought, ooh, Aarti like the cookbook author. I’ve made many things out of Aarti Paarti and they always turn out great. And then I read your bio and realized it was the same name because it’s the same lady! Yay!

  23. Welcome Ladies! I’m so excited to read about all of you (and a new perspective on Aarti) and looking forward to reading all of your upcoming articles. This is great!

  24. Cannot recall how you entered my home/life but very thankful and grateful. Although I could be “grandmother” to most of you, I am loving your writings (I am a lover of words) and blessed to share your lives as you are being blessed more each day by our loving savior. There is so much to share on this journey we call “life” and I am eager to walk along side of you and watch you grow and grow and grow in Christ. Blessings.

  25. Father God,
    We give all honor & praise to Your holy name in Christ Jesus.
    We pray for Your divine blessing & inspiration on all of these devoted women writer’s.
    Please give them caring & compassionate ways. Help them with confidence, courage
    and commitment to boldly share Your life-transforming Word. In Jesus Christ’s name,
    Amen.
