The Morning After...

...Bible Study Live!!!

Good Morning, OBSers! We’re wrapping up the week and I just want to say Thank You to everyone who joined us for Bible Study Live on Facebook last night.

So catch up on your reading of this week assignment... Gomer (pp. 73-84 in study guide)

Here are a few questions that were posted during last night Bible Study Live! Spend some time journaling your answers.

Before this Bible study had you ever heard about or read Gomer’s story?

Did it shock you to learn that God would ask someone to marry a prostitute? What thoughts raced through you mind as you were reading the story?

Why you think God chose this story to show us a picture of ourselves with Him?

As women we can become champions at covering up and comparing? What are your thoughts?

On page 80, the author lists some of the lessons we learn from Gomer. What is the one lesson that hits home for you and what is God speaking to your heart through Gomer’s story?

Sometimes we subtly, or even overtly, betray who God designed us to be. – Jeanne Stevens

What are some of the things in our lives that can become a “first love” and take God’s place?

Hosea 1:10-2:1 reads…

“Yet the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, which cannot be measured or counted. In the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘children of the living God.’ The people of Judah and the people of Israel will come together; they will appoint one leader and will come up out of the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel. “Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’

What do these words mean for you today?

How has God been faithful to you even when you were unfaithful to Him?

Journal Hosea 1:10-2:1 - God words for His people and put them into your own words – personalize them.

No matter where your story has taken you, you can always come back home. Only God can heal your pain. – Jeanne Stevens

We made it to the end of Week 2 - #OBS #12Women #12Women-CCMV!

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Travel Adventures 2023

Travel Adventures 2023 – So many places to go! This year my husband and I traveled to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. I took lots of pictures but could only choose a few for this blog. I’ve included a little information about each location we visited, along with a few pictures. Enjoy! Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) north from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry. We stayed at the Nugget Casino & Resort...and no, I did not put any money in the slot machines!!! :-) What's a vacation with shopping - the Outlets at Legends proved to be more than shopping. Then off to Virginia City. Lake Tahoe is located on the border of California and Nevada. About two-thirds of the lake is in California, with about one-third extending into Nevada at the north and south ends of the lake, and the entire

Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. The holidays stem from the late 1800s when labor activists wanted a federal holiday to recognize workers' contributions to the country. The first U.S. Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882 in New York City, planned by the Central Labor Union. The Labor Day parade of about 10,000 workers took unpaid leave and marched from City Hall past Union Square uptown to 42nd street and ended in Wendel’s Elm Park at 92nd Street and 9th Avenue for a concert, speeches, and a picnic. Oregon was the first to declare Labor Day an official holiday in 1887. Labor Day is considered the 'unofficial NFL season kickoff.' 99.44 percent of the ti
