Hey, Sweet Things! I’m a mighty long way from home in Fresno, California and looking so forward to getting into the Scriptures and into some passionate praise and worship with these West-side women. I love knowing that Priscilla is in Florida this weekend serving at her first simulcast and we are on the opposite side of the continent with our Living Proof Live. You wouldn’t waste a prayer on either one of us.
This will be a record setting post – my shortest ever! Wish so much I could tarry here and visit with you but, Sister Girl, my hands are FULL. Oh, how I pray you are sticking with your Scripture memory. Don’t give up! God will bring a harvest if we persevere and see it all the way through. I love my selection this go round. If you don’t know what you want to memorize for Verse 7, you are welcome to share mine. Here goes!
Beth, Houston. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58 NIV

Beth, I just need you to know, that the Bible Study
“Breaking Free” has completely and truly been setting me free… just like you promised if I would do the work. Well, I’m doing the work, but it’s a whole lot LESS work doing the homework than it was being held captive by my untruths and unforgiveness. I went through a dark time… a very very hard year in my marriage and faith life, and I came to a point where I was literally using your Bible Study as my antidepressant. Every single time I got into God’s truth, I came to believe His message more and more, and began to see my life from His perspective. And I am now saying, ” I love you too…” which means that I DO believe that He loves me. Keep doing what you do, God is using your gifts to Change lives. If you knew me and knew my story, you would KNOW that only GOD could have brought me from where I was, to where I am now. I am profoundly, profoundly grateful,
Lots of Love to you from Canada,
Rachel

As for you, you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn’t know the first thing about living, tell you how to live. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires & thoughts. Immense in mercy & with an incredible love, He embraced us, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions_ it is by grace you have been saved.
