Let's Get Started




Woohoo!!! The day has arrived!! I’m so excited to crack open this book with you 25 (yes, you read that correctly twenty.five!) wonderful ladies! I know that I, for one, need to learn how to make wise choices in the midst of my raw emotions. Mostly I just live in the midst of my raw emotions, and it’s not very pretty at all. 

Each week, I will send an assignment email on the chapter and invite you to answer questions and participate in a discussion by replying all to email OR attending our weekly meetings (which are NOT mandatory for you to take part in study). I can’t wait to hear what you have to say! So break out your books, your highlighters, and your typing fingers (for comments, of course!), and here we go!!





Starting today…. Pray like you mean it.

·         For yourself - that God would speak to you personally through this study and that you will listen and be open to His will for your life. Pray that you will stay committed throughout this study to read, keep up with your assignments, and get the most out of this time that you possibly can.

  • For your Bible Study Group - that each of us would gain more hope and closeness to God through this study. Pray for each other’s homes, jobs, and families.

 Get prepared for the study. Go ahead and have your book and any other supplies you might need (Bible, journal, pen, highlighters) set out or in a bag together where you can find it easily. 



Memory Verse for Chapter 1: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,” Hebbrews 12: 1 NIV



Memory Verse for Chapter 2: “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” II Corinthians 10:5 NIV



Don’t forget to try the “verse mapping”. For those that are new to online bible studies here is the link explaining how to verse map (I LOVE doing it) http://heatherbleier.com/?s=verse+mapping








~ Read Chapter 1 & 2 (I’ll send questions tomorrow). Use a highlighter to highlight parts you want to remember or come back and read later. Make notes in your journal of key Scripture (like the Memory Verses) and important things to remember and come Tuesday the 11th to the meeting 6:00 @ Fallins (RSVP to me) IF you can and be ready to share your thoughts! (again meetings are not mandatory but GREAT bonding time) Also, if you haven’t already please sign up for the reminder text by clicking on this link http://www.remind101.com/join/ungl
