Bible Study

The Lord has allowed me to join a Women's Bible Study. I am so excited! I love to have books and schedules and a format. Today was our first meeting. I walked in that Sanctuary with a step in my stride (or is it a stride in my step?). I was excited to see the women that I hadn't seen in months and looking forward to the new women I would meet. We first sat and worshipped the Lord in song. I sat and basked in God's presence, lifting my hands to My Beloved, to My Savior - I love to worship the Lord in song, pure abandonment, I love it! From there Janice gave us an introduction that excited us to no end. She made us want to open up our Bible and the Notebook and start right on the spot. Joyfully I greeted some of the women that I hadn't seen. We broke up into our small groups and we rejoiced in meeting the ladies in our group. What will the Lord do through these months of study of God's Word? Only great things can come out of digging into God's Holy Word. We will be studying the book of Daniel and Haggai. Our theme verse is Daniel 12:3, Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.

We are in for a wonderful journey. I look forward to the wonderful nuggets that the Lord will share with all of us. The sum of Your word is truth. Psalm 119:160

I am soooooooo looking forward to see what God has for us on this journey through Daniel & Haggai. I can only hope that like the lions in the den, I too will "shut my mouth" and quiet my heart with great reverence so that I don't miss a thing that my Father will be showing me. Excited to learn and happy that I get to see you more often. Love ya. HI Angie!; January 8, 2008 at 9:22 PM

Poems

From http://www.devotions.com/ (author unknown)
It’s sometimes very difficult for us to understand the wisdom and the love behind the things that God has planned.

But we wouldn’t have the rainbow if we didn’t have the rain; We wouldn’t know the pleasure if we never tasted pain.

We wouldn’t love the sunrise if we hadn’t felt the night; And we wouldn’t know our weakness if we hadn’t sensed God’s might.

We couldn’t have the springtime or the yellow daffodil if we hadn’t experienced the winter’s frosty chill.

And though the brilliant sunshine is something God has made. He knew too much could parch our souls so He created shade.

So God’s given us a balance: enough joys to keep us glad, enough tears to keep us humble, enough good to balance bad.

And if you’ll trust in Him you’ll see though yesterday brought sorrow, the clouds will part and dawn will bring a happier tomorrow.

"THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW"
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
