We are a group of women, specifically young moms, striving to have a daily personal devotional and prayer time. Weekly Scripture reading and resources to help you grow are found on this site.
So good to actually be back with the ladies in the group. It had seemed like a long time. James is such a good and challenging book. Faith vs. Deeds. Always a good reminder to be actively showing our faith. It is what makes “Real” Christians unique from everyone else. Because of our faith we [...]
We took the time to process and pray for one of our ladies who is dealing with a major loss. Please pray. Sometimes God knows we need to have Bible Studies, without the planned verses. He is so much greater!
It is interesting how things don’t really change. Even in James’ time people were trying to impress others. How easily we slip into that. We might not tell someone to sit on the floor, but are we really as welcoming as we should be to everyone? It was also interesting to see how James goes [...]
Thanks be to God who gives us a perfect law. It was great to dwell on the fact that everything in the Bible is perfect. He knows so much better than we do. No matter what we do (or have done) to be “happy”, we can look to what the Bible says for the way [...]
These verses could be put up on the refrigerator and read every day and still never get old. James has great little nuggets packed with a lot in them. How easy it is to read them and remember them for a while, but oh how we need them everday. What would our world be like [...]
What a great group today. Have to say the best part is the kids run around and we still keep going. Today we found comfort in many of the verses. It seems as if James is giving us a moment to just enjoy God and put the trials in perspective. Some of those comforts: God [...]
Today was a great day to catch up with everyone. We still need to pray for a few families that are fighting the sicky bugs going around. We talked more about where our loyalty lies – in God or in others. We also talked about praying with expectation. Not just asking God to do something [...]
We had a great group today. Thanks for letting us invade, Heidi. We had a great background conversation about James and the 12 tribes. James was Jesus’ brother. We talked about how he felt being a “little brother of Jesus”. Yet he called himself a slave of Jesus. We went back to the Old Testament [...]
Today was a welcome to the group and prayer requests. The kiddos had fun getting to see each other in a home setting and we had fun catching up. Our first discussion of James will be next week!
Learning to be content – I could end the blog there. I love that it says learned, not had-it-under-control or just-knew-to-be-content. It was a process that Paul had to go through too! We talked a lot about being content, not just with the physical things as Paul is talking about here, but being content emotionally [...]
