Its been awhile since I've been in a real in depth Bible study. I used to be in one when Brendan was itty bitty but when we changed churches and friendships drifted apart I left the group that I was in and until now hadn't really tried to find a new one. I've been involved in MOMS during the week and Charlie and I have a GREAT home group but I haven't been in a Bible study with other women in a few years. I've missed it a lot. More than I think I realized. As much as I enjoy MOMS group I need something to really get me in the Word and keep me on track with my quiet times. I'm not very good on my own, and it turns out thats not too out of the norm for women my age with small children around 24/7.
A few weeks ago my mom was over for a little late night visit and while we were enjoying the yummy chocolate snack she brought we both expressed our desire to find a Bible study and thought that doing one together would be really great. We hopped on the computer and checked out a few of the local church websites to see what was being offered. Out of the blue we just googled Beth Moore studies and up popped a local church starting a study the following Monday night for the next few months. Perfect! We needed an evening study and Mondays are the best for both of us.
We started 2 weeks ago and even though we haven't gotten too much into the book of James yet, I know its going to be a pretty life-changing 5 weeks. The main point of the book is to LIVE your faith. Which is something I've been struggling with lately. I know what I'm supposed to do, think, say, believe but sometimes when life gets messy and overwhelming I just forget how to really live it. I'm so excited to be doing this study with my mom and having some great mother-daughter time together. I'm always so amazed at God's timing and know that this couldn't be a better time to get in the Word!
