Oh, my, my, my. It is a HAPPY BUSY DAY at Living Proof. We launch our community-wide, interdenominational Tuesday Bible study this very night. We feel like this is the prime thing God ordained this ministry to do. We are discipleship freaks so, as much as we love going into cities and doing weekend events, our highest calling is to walk with a group from Point A to Point B to Point C in a particular book of the Bible or subject matter over a course of several months. We are PUMPED.
Very early this morning while I was at my breakfast room table working on my notes for tonight, I got a call from Melissa who sounded like she was in the first grade. She was on her way to orientation for her second Master’s program (Th.M. in the area of Biblical Studies). Her classes will have her in at least four different books of the Bible so she’s all set for an intense semester in the Scripts.
Amanda will be right there with me and the rest of our hardworking staff as we launch Bible study so that covers the 3 Moore girls. What about all you marvelous Siestas? You may not be starting your Fall Bible studies this week but we surely do hope you are planning to engage in a Bible study of some kind this semester and, hopefully, sooner than later. All our enemy needs is a little time with an idle mind. Around Siestaville, holding each other accountable to the healthy pursuit of Christ is a big priority. So, here’s your chance to sign on the dotted line! What are your plans for Fall Bible Study? In your comment, give…

I always love these kinds of posts. They build up our faith and remind us that a very powerful community of active Christ-pursuing, Scripture-poring sisters is out there. We have different personalities, gifts and styles of worship in Siestaville, but we are of one Spirit and one Body. Let’s celebrate it!

Me and my 14 year old daughter. I wondered how receptive she would be to doing this with me (teenage girl and all). We are doing the audio version. During the first one last night I saw her writing but without expression so I couldn't tell how she was receiving it but just left her alone to hear it along with me. After the first audio session ended she said "wanna see my notes" and I said "sure". She had heard it all! Everything she wrote was significant. Then she said "So mom – why don't over the next 9 or 10 weeks of this we exercise together too so we can be completely changed people?" I said "sounds wonderful". So today we went out and got our blue cord to wear around our wrists together.

The Living Beyond Yourself Study – for the second time… The first, was 10 years ago – and i never finished it.
Not coincidently, God led me to the Overcoming Unforgiveness chapter of Praying God's Word – right after session 3, on Rejection – and divine healing.
He has blessed me with more than enough opportunities to put it into practice, this past week.

Today was our week 1 meeting. We have a great group of 50+ ladies. I am going to LOVE this study! "Myself" could be a crabby, frustrated, angry person these days. I am thankful to Beth for her teaching on watching my JAW,(GB conference) and for directing us to the scriptures to live our lives in Christ, beyond our expectations, through His power in us. I NEED His power!

Offense is big in my life, more than I knew. We started last week, and in laying down things God has showed me, I am experiencing what I feel is opposition from the enemy. I'm praying my arm will not grow tired holding up my shield.

I just started The Patriarchs and am so amazed once again. God has gifted you with a blessing I have never encountered doing a taped bible study. You are able to fly right through that screen and be personal with those of us watching. It is like you are right in the room, loving me like crazy.
If I ever meet you in person let me apologize in advance, I am sure I would make a fool of myself and just start talking to you like we have been friends for years. Thank you Beth-for just being you!

Beth, I wish we could have coffee so I could tell you all the "only God" happenings that went into the formation of this bible study! I can hardly contain my excitement. I just know we were meant to do this study "for such a time as this!" Love you!

Thankful that a friend packed the Jesus the One and Only devotional and shared with me :)I'm studying that right now along with studying Scripture with my language tutor to learn how to tell stories in the local language. It's an awesome experience to study, retell, and talk about my Lord in a new language! Learning new things everyday!

Breaking Free- New
Tuesday evening ladies Bible study at the local book store.
Prayers are being answered right there at Bible study within seconds of praying-miracle in fact for the unbeliver and the other new believer. Crazy things are happening- we've had to just pray on our knees one evening instead of doing the Bible study, that is all we could do…so much turmoil was just going around the table for every lady. We cried, we prayed, we praised, we just loved the Lord that evening..(oh, by the way the un-believer called me this week and asked if she needed to be baptized in order to be saved!!!!! PRAISE! (Jumping up and down here! Praising God!)
We've been praying for months for God to lead us to the next Bible study- we've been praying that if it was God's will for the new "Breaking Free" then He would make a way for it to happen…HE DID HE DID! We will be placing our order today!!!! To God be the glory!!
Thanks for listening- God's moving..we're praying to keep up with Him.
