I am sooooo sorry for any of you who were trying to keep up with the blogs. I have fallen off the wagon and trying to get back up. I feel like I got off to such a wonderful start, but as alway, life gets busy. Classes are in full swing and I am not waking up early any more, because I am staying up too late. Between work, studies and just the normal things I do as a wife and mother I am exhausted.
Pray for me. I know this is Satan getting in the way. Pray that God fills me with new life and a renew spirit so I can get back on this study. It really is a good one.
God Bless, Blog you soon!

Invitation...to Coffee!
The first Bible study that we will be doing is Fresh-Brewed Life, by Nicole Johnson. You can purchase the book at http://www.freshbrewedlife.com/ for $12.00 plus S&H, or I got mine at LifeWay in Castleton, IN for $13.99 (but saved the S&H.) LifeWay only had one copy when I went so you may want to call first. For those in Noblesville, you can try Living Truth as well.
Start Date: January 14th, 2008
Let's start this New Year off right, with God as our focus!
There are Nine Cups of Fresh-Brewed Topics, as Nicole will let you know, you don't rush through a cup of coffee (at least not good coffee) you sip it, hold it (feel the warmth) and savor it. Each "cup" is approximately 20 pages, which one could easily read in an hour, but you don't have to. Sip it, savor it, or if you do finish your reading on the first day, then meditate on it for the week. There are journaling questions, Percolations (which are suggested reading, movies and music) and coffee recipes. Watch a suggested flick or try a recipe! Post your opinions or questions back on this BLOG. Remember we are L.O.V.E. (Ladies Online Valuing Eachother.) Make a date with a friend for coffee, truly savor it all!

First Gathering of L.O.V.E.
Jan. 12, 2008 - Open House! Getting to know each other was great fun. We all exchanged cell phone numbers, all the ladies (except me - I'm a paper person) had their cell phones out punching numbers in. It looked quite funny so I had to take this pic. The world of technology!
We shared with each other one thing that most people wouldn't know about us. Many great things were shared and I appreciate the insight into my "sisters"-in-Christ's hearts. I can see that we have a wonderful group here.
To those who couldn't make it, you were here in spirit. We talked about you (nicely of course) and truly wish you were here.
