Remain. Tucked in. Safe. In Jesus!

  Remain. Tucked in. Safe. In Jesus! Good Evening Yes Girls! I hope you had a Super Saturday. I had an interesting day - I spent the day with my husband (a good thing -yes!) at AAA at a driving class for "seniors" and I don't mean high school. This is when you know you have past the half-way point in your life! I did learn a lot though but I think I was youngest in the class because there was a 91 year old man who just got his license renewed the other day and it's good for FIVE more years! Scary - Ok enough of that. This evening we (my husband & I) went out to dinner and it's so amazing how God puts people in your life, I have had a divine appointment with the same lady twice in less than 24-hours, I can't wait to see what God has in store for us! Ok back our study! This morning I asked you to read John 14:20 but you also need to read John 15:4. I have a little video I prepared, I love technology but part of the reason I'm a little late is

WEEK 3 – Learning to Live Open-handed

Good Morning Ladies! So much positive energy and enthusiasm during our time together on Thursday! How exciting! Welcome to Week 3!!! Today during my quiet time I was lead to read Colossians 3:2 – "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." This verse fits perfectly with Jeremiah 29:13, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." When we "set our minds on things above," we look at things from God's perspective and "seek" what He desires. With so much going on in the world around us, when we follow after Christ, we can love and serve those around us. Regard the world as God does and live in harmony with Him! In Philippians 4:8, Paul tells us to "Think on These Things" - … whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think about such things . Our assignments for the coming week –

Friendship

Acts 17:27 says, God did this so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. He is after the people around you, and He pursues them through us. Next time you are in a public space, be awkward and look in people’s eyes. People – nearly every one of them – are hurting, even if they don’t say it. And we hold their cure. We get to give God away, and it is for our joy. I am never more content than when I am meeting needs. At some point we have to decide whether or not it is worth it to spend our lives helping people be free from bondage, meeting their needs, cheering for them as they run, giving them God. And at some point, if I find myself being completely mocked and rejected and hurt, is it still worth it for me? That is the question we all have to ask. Is it worth the saving of many lives to you? So who needs God around you? Pray. Pursue them. Ask them great questions. Share your str

Yes to God - Week 2, Chapter 2

Hello There All You Yes Girls!!! We had an amazing First week of Bible study last week.   It’s such a joy to see all God is doing in and through you. I know this week will be even more! Just a reminder we are doing Chapter 2 this week. So, let’s get started! Stop whatever you’re doing and get started reading – “Hearing God’s Voice” – chapter 2. Unpack this week’s key verse – Jeremiah 29:13, it says “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Try verse mapping it - http://heatherbleier.com/2012/06/13/a-day-with-jesus/ In Chapter 2 Lysa shares with us 5 great questions we can ask ourselves when we are are trying to discern God’s voice. These are great questions to ask ourselves to help keep that genuine desire front and center. Here’s some encouragement she gives us in this chapter: ·        Remember, this is not the end-all way for hearing God’s voice. It is simply a stating place. Could I challenge you to ask yourself just one o

Yes to God - OBS - Week 2

    Hello, Yes Girls! I hope you’re ready for another amazing week! I am just so honored to be a part of this study and walk alongside each of you as we take this journey and “Say Yes to God!” We started with a list of 11 ladies who signed up for this study and now we have grown to 32 Yes Girls! on our Facebook page and more requests to join us daily. Because I want to make sure everyone gets the assignments, I have prayed and ask “How can I make sure that everyone gets the emails I send out?” So, in addition to the emails, I will post this and other communication on my blog with a link on our Facebook God’s Girls page. That way if I miss someone’s email - the link is there. Alright. You ready? Yes to God ~ Week 2 Read Chapter 2 Phrase of the week: “ Say What?” Verse of the week: “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” - Jeremiah 29:13 [NIV] Keep those Palms Up, get ready to Say What and I’ll see you right back here M
