Will There Ever Be Another Carolyn Carroll?

I brag on my divas when I have the opportunity because they all mean so much to me. There is one who kind of lingers in the background, always popping in to encourage, pray for and share wisdom with everyone else while never really sharing her own needs or own pains.

Carolyn Carroll is a wonderful woman who works hard, prays harder and is always available to her sisters. She talks the Bible, walks the Bible and eats and sleeps it too. You never catch her with her "hair down" so to speak because she doesn't get carnal and fleshly with us. She keeps us focused on Christ and His impending return. She is like one of the grounding wires to the group and if I have never told you before, Carolyn, I love you. I appreciate you. I adore your personality. I cherish your friendship. I needed you as a sister. I consider you like a gift from God. Keep on being there for us, but also let us be there for you. I believe I speak for the whole group when I say that there isn't one of us who wouldn't sit up all night with you if you needed us to because we know you'd do it for us.

WHO ARE THOSE HAPPY WOMEN???

Someone might ask who the divas are and what the diva Facebook group is all about. Let me share.

One day Lacresha Hayes and I were chatting and she kept going on and on about the women who'd helped her live when she wanted to die. (I write that with her permission.) I had a similiar experience with a few online friends myself. And so often, we all tire of a social network, get bored or whatever and then you lose someone you wanted to hang on to forever- a real friend.

So, we decided to start a group which I wanted to name Divas because of how I view Lacresha. She came up with the acronym and we have been going ever since. This group of women are not just women who want to join a group so they can have something fun to do. This is a group of women who have inspired others by the tens, hundreds or thousands. They all have a testimony. They all have a generous spirit. They're all sweet women who share love, prayers and wisdom. We may not always agree, but we always love one another. That is our oath and we keep it daily.

The next time you see us chatting and talking amongst ourselves, you're not witnessing a group, but a lifelong sisterhood. We are D.I.V.A.s and we're proud of it!
