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, I know this isn’t following the typical comments but I want you to know what a blessing you were to the ladies that attended in Fresno. I wasn’t able to attend but I helped behind the scenes b/c my daughter is getting married next weekend, and I just couldn’t spare the time but the women from my bible study group were truly blessed by your message. Thank you for sharing your gift of teaching with us and challenging me with your studies. I just recently lead the Jonah study by Prisilla and it was excellent. While leading the study my “belly of the whale” moment was my mom’s passing while planning this wedding. God has been so good and has sustained me through it all. So thank you for producing such quality material and for not hiding your light under a bush.
