I felt like that was a moment where the time stood still and things finally seemed real to me, and I opened my heart, mind, and soul, to God and only God.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ah!\u00a0 My heart is smiling, is yours?<strong>\u00a0 I am so so happy for that moment in Amber\u2019s life<\/strong>.\u00a0 The moment where believing in God and having a relationship with Him finally makes sense and you do not know how you have been doing it up to that point without Him; and you do not want to live one second of your future without Him!\u00a0 I know God has HUGE things in store for Amber and I am excited to stand alongside of her.\u00a0 Praying for her, encouraging her, and getting to know her more and more!<\/p>\n<p><em>Much love to all of my decaf friends!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Love, Diane<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in joining us in our GCH:decaf Teen Girls Ministry, please email GCH_Decaf@girlfriendscoffeehour.com for more information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We&#8217;ll be starting our next online Bible study soon!
