Hello All, I'm in...at least I was able to log into the blog. I still have to order the book so bear with me please! We just got back from Germany and as always, it's been kind of hectic...plus Mona's B-Day is coming up next weekend. I'll keep everyone in the loop of my progress...the book should be on its way! God Bless!

So, are you in?

Hi girls,
Just wanted to check in and see if you are ready to get started. Jeanette- I'm so excited that you were able to view and post to the blog!! Cynthia- I hope you've been able to view it. Monica, Dana, and Julia- please let me know if you'd like to join us, need me to order the books, need help with the blog, etc. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Lord is going to do with this group.
Have a blessed day!!
Rebekah

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Oooooh, I am so excited! Thank you Rebekah! (Ps. I miss you!)
I cannot wait for this to get fully going...and I pray too that God will meet each of us where we are personally and that in that place we will see him. And....that....because he knows each of our individual burdens...he will use us to work within each other as blessings!! YEAH!!!!!

My quote for today: Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

So let's get started....

In order to really get as much out of the book as possible, we'll each need a copy of the book (obviously), and a lined journal- and your Bible of course! Let's each read chapter one over the next week or so, and you can refer to the Study Guide in the back of the book for reflection questions and exercises. I'm praying that the Lord meets each of us, right where we are, that He ministers to our hearts, and that we are truly transformed by this study. That we grow deeper in our knowledge of our Lord and Savior, and that our time in the Word is forever changed by what we learn and are able to put into practice.
In Him,
Rebekah

Women's Bible Study

We are finally getting started!! A few months ago, Jeanette asked if I'd be interested in helping to facilitate an online bible study. "Sure!", I replied. Always looking for ways to connect with the Lord, and with my sisters in Christ. I'm passionate about my walk with the Lord, increasing intimacy with Him, and seeing my friends do the same. This group is unique (I've never facilitated an online Bible study before, so this is new territory for me). Since some of us live close to one another, but others don't (Hi Cynthia! :) It's a way for us to connect. And many of us are new moms, some of us have been moms for awhile- but ALL of us are busy ladies, trying to balance the demands of home, some of us working outside the home, child-rearing, feeding our families, keeping our houses clean, etc. For this reason, Jeanette and I thought it'd be great to start an online group, so that we can check in at night, early morning- whatever works for our busy mommy schedules!

We will be going through Jen Hatmaker's, "A Modern Girl's Guide to Bible Study", and I'll also be throwing in a few extras along the way in the areas of intimacy with the Lord, prayer, and any other questions or issues that come up. This group will be open ended (i.e. we aren't starting in July and ending in December), and we can keep going and growing together as the Lord leads.

We can each post pictures and updates on the blog, at blogger.com. I'll try and give help with this where I can- but please keep in mind that I'm new to this too!

I'm praying that this will be an awesome tool for us to grow in our relationships with Christ, and also in our friendships with one another!! love you all, God Bless!
