soaked and covered in mud, surpassing her competitors. “God gets all the glory! It’s none of me and all of Him!”
    Sullivan booed and threw a pillow at the television.
    â€œReal mature, Sully,” admonished Angel.
    â€œDo you honestly think she meant a word of that? It’s totally scripted!” insisted Sullivan.
    Lawson turned to Sullivan. “Scripted or not, if it helps someone else or leads someone closer to God, it’s all good.”
    â€œYou mean it’s all fake, ” Sullivan muttered.
    Angel pinched her. “Stop hatin’, Sully. You’re just mad you’re no longer the center of attention.”
    â€œCall up Vaughn and make another sex tape and leak it on the Internet, Sully,” suggested Reginell. “You’ll be trending again in no time.”
    After a few more minutes of watching Kina trample her competition, Angel stretched and stood up. “Well, ladies, as fun as this has all been, duty calls.”
    Lawson looked up from the television screen. “You headed to the hospital?”
    Angel nodded. “From eight to eight, like every weekend for the past three months.”
    â€œAngel, between your personal care business and the hospital, you’re working sixty hours a week. How long do you think you’ll be able to keep this up?” asked Sullivan.
    â€œUntil I can build up enough cash flow not to. Guardian Angel is practically bleeding me dry. I’ve got to work at the hospital to stay afloat.”
    Sullivan squeezed Angel’s hand. “I told you I’d loan you the money to tide you over for a while.”
    Angel was confused. “What money, Sully? You don’t work. You spend your husband’s money, remember? Besides, I can do this, with the Lord’s help and your prayers.”
    â€œYou know I’ll be praying for you, girl, as always.” Lawson stood up. “In fact, there’s no better time than the present to put in a little prayer for all of us.”
    Sullivan and Reginell peeled themselves away from their seats and joined hands with Lawson and Angel.
    â€œIn the name of Jesus, Lord, we come praising your name. Thank you for grace. Thank you for your Word, and we thank you for bringing us together today for such a joyous occasion. Thank you so much for our precious angel, Charity Faith. She has brought nothing but love and happiness to everyone in this room and our entire church family. Continue to strengthen her. Make her virtuous and kind. Give her a desire to follow your ways and to know you, Lord. Watch over her parents. Give them the wisdom, resources, and compassion needed to bring up this child in the way she should go. We ask for your protection over her entire family for all the days of their lives.
    â€œGod, we know that you provide and bless according to your riches and glory. We know that through faith and patience, we inherit your promises. You’ve promised to take care of our every need, so I ask that you bless Angel abundantly in her finances, knowing that she works for you and will be a faithful steward over that which you bless her with. Help her to remember that you are her source and that jobs are only resources. Give her the strength and energy she needs to make it through this week and beyond.
    â€œLord, I thank you for my friends, whom I call my sisters. The soul of each one of us is knit to the other like your servants David and Jonathan. Let this friendship be the impetus to strengthen, not tear down one another. Thank you for the love between every woman in this room. And while we treasure these friendships, we know that friendship with the world is enmity to you, so let us be in this world but not of the world. Keep our eyes stayed on you. Let everything we do exalt you, Lord. We thank you and praise you in advance for all you’re doing in our lives.”
    â€œAmen,” said Angel, Reginell, and Sullivan in unison.
    â€œAnd, Lord, please watch
