How quickly we forget and now I have another scripture that no doubt Needs to be memorized to help me stand Firm in what I Know He has called me too. He is so very Fauthful. Have and great week…

    Love y’all,

    Carol 🙂

    We are facilitating a class, at church, right now & all that you said is true. We are always looking for ways to edify & build up. And it’s true about the different personalities involved. What is good for one may not fit the other. BUT this I know. If the heart is pure & the passion for sharing is there then I believe God will be smack in the middle of it & use it for His glory. So thanks again & looking for all the help & tips I can get. Love & blessing for the work y’all are doing.

    Thank you Ladies so much for posting these videos!
    I’m only 15, but the Lord has been calling me to stand up and start a Girl’s Bible Study right here in my own home. It can be nerve-wracking, and I’ll tell you that the fear of judgment from other teen girls will try to get the best of you. But I’m so happy that I stumbled across these videos! Ya’ll have truly been a blessing to me, and if you have any more tips for my soon to come bible study- I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you for sharing this! The enemy has been working hard at discouraging me the last couple of years in leading our ladies’ Bible study, and it has been an effort to keep going. I think one of his lies it to make us think we’re the problem, or we’re alone, but God is always with us and sends encouragement when we need it most. Your message today was a blessing to me–thank you!
