Delighting In God



I'm really excited to tell you all about the plans that are being made to start a ladies' Bible study called D.I.G.(Delighting In God) this coming June. My accountability partner, Kassie, and I are making the preparations to begin a study on Romans using Kay Arthur and David Arthur's Inductive Bible Study program. We especially wanted to start a group that was serious about studying the Scriptures. Meeting once a week to encourage each other to be in the Word all week long, not just at Bible study, through accountability. Kay Arthur's studies take much time in and meditation on the Word of God. We continue to get ready for our first meeting as June quickly approaches and are very excited to see what God will have us to learn individually and as a group through the study of His Word.

What's Coming in Summer 2009???

1)SGBA Camp 2009
I applied for Camp this week and if counselors are still needed, I will be going! We will have a meeting next month to prepare for the week and then camp will be held at Michindoh on the dates of July 13-17th!

Pray for the campers that will be attending, that God will open their hearts and save their souls!

2)Missions Trip??
I am praying for an opportunity to go to Mexico this summer on a short term missions trip.

3)Caregiving
I will be staying with Evelyn for the month of May and then we will probably see if I am still needed at the end of that time. It is possible that during the summer, if she is doing much better, I will still be checking in on her from time to time.
Please pray that Evelyn will soon be able to return to church.

4)Teaching
I am now on the rotation as a Jr. Church teacher at Thornville, so I will be taking my turn again in the months to come.

Although most of these things are liable to change, I wanted to give a quick snapshot of what I'm anticipating my summer will look like. :)

Thank you for your prayers!
