Life’s NOT WHAT I EXPECTED

This is a community for women to gather for honest conversation, meaningful connection, encouragement, growth, and genuine friendship.
We'll talk about what it looks like to remain tender toward God and others, keep following Jesus when there aren't easy answers, and continue living with purpose. The hope is that you leave encouraged, more connected to God and other women, and reminded that there is purpose, beauty, and growth right where you are.
