I want to welcome you to L.O.V.E., Ladies Online Valuing Each Other, bible studies. This BLOG spot was created because I personally have a need to be in God's Word everyday and be involved in a bible study, however, with 5 children, a husband that travels, part-time work hours and now full-time school hours I didn't want to commit to a study that took me out of the house another day/night of the week, so...L.O.V.E. was created.
My hope is that there are women just like me who, for various reasons, cannot commit to a study outside of the home, but wish to still grow in Christ through study and fellowship with other women (although ours will mainly be on-line fellowship.)
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!
