bible study

last night we had our last bible study where we all will be together. jody (far right) is going home tuesday for her graduation. and we wanted some pictures of all of us.
from the left: amanda, molly, me (they wanted me in the middle), christina (in the back), anna, and jody.
fake laugh. classic.
being silly.

it has truly been an honor for me to lead this group of women. each week we have dinner together (we take turns being in charge), we read a few chapters from Matthew and discuss it, one of us shares our story and finish with a time of prayer. i am deeply touched each week by their insight, vulnerability, care for one another, excitement to be together and passion to seek the Lord and their love for Him. i told them last night that i believe they are each in a very special time in their relationship with the Lord. there is something miraculous that happens when we leave home and claim our relationship with Him for our own, separate from our families. and I know that He desires to speak deep into their hearts and minds about who they are as treasured, sought after, loved, daughters of the King. I am thankful for the Lord's work in their lives and for this opportunity to continue to speak His truth to them. and He has used them to bless me as well.

we will have two more times together. i would continue to covet your prayers for those times and for the Lord to continue to reveal His love to each one.
