I have been praying about a Bible study for quite some time. When we moved here I did several different ones at different churches but wasn't finding one to really connect with. Then I finally got into a women's small group that started off great but we only twice a month and as quickly as we all meshed together, we fizzled as it was summer and it seemed no one could make it and it was canceled more more often than not. Then I learned that I was (finally) pregnant and life took off at full speed with a new job, and pregnancy followed by life with a newborn and a new house. In November I sent out an email to church inquiring about women's groups to only be told that my only option was on Tuesday mornings right during Lucas' nap time. (We are already committed to a play group that meets twice a month and MOPS which meets twice a month...both during morning nap time.) I really wanted to do a Bible study with a group because I need that accountability to start and finish a study, not to mention the other ways a small group helps me. I continued to pray and only a couple weeks later I was emailed by a friend from our play group asking if there was any interest in joining a Bible study on Monday nights! Yay, what an answer to prayer!
We met for the first time last night and are studying Bath Moore's "Children of the Day." I am not a huge Beth Moore fan but think this one is one that I could really use. (funny how God does that.) If you know anything about me, you know where I'm at relationally with friends in my past but even more so since we've moved to Colorado.
I'm beyond excited to start this study with a group of wonderful women while enriching my relationship with God. Such an answer to prayer!
I thought I was the only person on earth who wasn't a Beth Moore fan. I am glad I am not alone. I have been on a similar journey and a friend texted recently inviting me to a new Small Group at church. It meets Wednesday nights and I am out of town many Wednesdays, but I hope I can go some.
