This week I started a new Bible Study at a community Women's Resource Center. Since I don't have a church home, I've been needing the accountability and encouragement to spend time in the Word, and hopefully find some community too.
I was half an hour late--it was on the same day as I have a late meeting (I knew I was going to be late and e-mailed the leader in advance.) I brought Chiquita with me, as we're still nursing, and I can't pump enough for daytime and evening (not to mention that I miss her!)
So I was late. I was stressed. I felt like the baby was distracting. I'm not used to the video format or that we didn't pray for each other at the end.
But God still met me there--He reminded me of truths I had memorized, and the value of a mustard seed's worth of faith.
So this week I'm thankful for:
--Jeannie, for the vision of starting a Community Women's Resource Center
--The presence of this organization, providing counseling and Bible studies for women of all different denominations
--The opportunity to study God's word
--The freedom we have to study, with our very own Bibles and without the worry of persecution or imprisonment

ReplyDeleteSounds like a good opportunity for you. I know how tough it is to be in between church homes and yet you still belong to the body of Christ, no matter where you are. May He continue to feed you and nuture you during this time.
ReplyDeleteOh so true. We thank God for that freedom every Thursday night when we meet in our home for Bible study. Isn't it amazing how - even when something doesn't look or feel like we would like it to or expect it to, we find God there in the most amazing way? I pray you will be blessed by your study and God will use it to grow you!! Blessings.
