Glory! Glory! Glory!

Oh my Siestas! I should be in bed by now, after all I have an early morning call tomorrow as I commute into St. Louis. Still, I wanted to steal just a minute of your time and share one of my joys with you.

You see this week I started leading a Beth Moore Bible Study. Now, I'm not new to leading Bible studies. I'm not even new to leading Beth Moore Bible studies. What is new is this precious group of women--most, but not all from my little, new start church.

And glory to God, you would not believe how He moved even that first night! We had 10 women show up. Now that may not seem like much for you, but for me--for this group, it was HUGE! And the age span early twenties to late sixties--can you believe it?

Yes the LORD is moving in a might way right now. And His timing could not be better. You see our church is in transition. Our pastor just left Jan. 1 for a new appointment. We are using temporary pastors until the conference appoints a permanent pastor. So you see we NEEDED this Bible study to bind us together.

Thank you LORD for your perfect timing, for your provision and most of all for your never changing love for us. I'm absolutely head over heels in love with you and can't wait to see how you're going to move in this women's Bible study!!

Crazy for Christ,

Thanks for the encouragement! Everyday is a challenge, but it's also so rewarding and ALWAYS full of laughter. =)
I'm so loving getting to know others through their blogs.
Have a blessed day,

Rejoicing with you!! I was leading Women's Bible study classes and I taught a women's Sunday School class before we moved. I miss it! I ove that there are 10 in your group and to me that is a big group. May this study bring encouragement to all of you in your class!

P.S. Please pray for me, I start a new Beth Moore study with a group of women I don't know at a church I have been to once. :o)
