Ladies Bible Study



Each Tuesday morning, a group of us ladies meet at Shanna's (team leaders') house. Every week we discuss a chapter of the book, Lost Women of the Bible (sorry; I don't know how to underline!) by Carolyn Custis James. So far we have studied Eve and Mrs. Noah. I led the discussion on Mrs. Noah yesterday, and it was so much fun! Of course, the author did lots of speculating b/c hardly anything is said about her in the Bible. But, it was interesting to think about her life and mine when framed by certain questions such as: 1) have you ever felt like you were in someone's shadow? (she may have felt like she was in Noah's shadow) 2) is there anything in your unceratin future that you fear or dread? 3) what difference does it make to put the frame of God's character around your situation?

Before the study , several of us take a yoga class!! It is a gift. Daniella, our teacher, is so sweet. She leads us in stretches that are very relaxing and relieve my body of lots of tension. Also, she does not bring in Eastern religion, which is nice.

Our group is great! We have a great time laughing together and talking about our hearts and our relationships to God.
