Through Rachel Anne Ridge's voice....oh my Company Girl friends, you missed the most delightful luncheon today at Rachel's home church in Texas. I simply cannot share adequately how God so used Rachel today to touch hearts in a lovely ladies luncheon. I think it must be a rule, you have to have a beautiful heart (and we won't mention the cute clothes and hair) to go to this church....y'all, these ladies were so sweet and precious and I just was so privileged to be at Rachel's table, sitting next to Miss Anne, Rachel's mom, and her daughter and sister in law and precious Ann. I also got to hear another one of Rachel's daughter's lead the worship in song and play! Afterward the luncheon Les joined us and we had the BEST time with Rachel at a Panera Bread Company and then.....tah dah...Rachel let us come to her fabulous barn house and hang out with her family....talk about feeling privileged...we were so tickled and so pleased to get to share with them the vision God is growing into focus the past few weeks! (and no, Flash did not come out to let us adore him too!) Eventually my dear Les had mercy on Rachel Anne and managed to get us reloaded back in the Volvo and headed us into Dallas.... Rachel's Clothesline stories were so heart full, God's voice through her was so very real and full of His truths. She made speaking and teaching in front of a crowd look as easy as slicing cake! The boxed chicken salad on croissant lunches with the most luscious brownies were so delightful. The decorations were precious (minature clotheslines on each table with paper doll sized clothes hanging on them....ladies! you simply out did yourself with the doorprizes and the games! I even won a beach towel (it may be the ONLY clean towel in the house by the time we return to Alabama!)Rachel, it was so WORTH the fourteen hour drive to see you in person and I cannot wait to hear you again!
God is so God and I am so very very grateful He has gifted me with your friendship!
much love,
P.S. Katherine the only thing missing about this perfect day was YOU and the rest of our Company Girls!

You are having too much fun, girlie girl! :) So glad you are!
I still cannot believe you drove 14 hours to hear me! It was wonderful to look out and see your encouraging smile and know you were rooting for this "clothesline" gal.
I never did say a proper thank you for the panera time and for ferrying me back to the barn house. Ol' donkey-boy Flash missed out on meeting you...perhaps next time.
I hope you're having a fabulous anniversary today! Les is a keeper.
