Session 6 - Email

Good morning Beautiful Women of God,
In reviewing our course on Faithful, Abundant, and True, I am extremely grateful at all the wonderful truths in God's word which we had the opportunity to study. Looking at Miss Kay's portion on faith and being challenged to see in Hebrews that without faith it is "impossible" to please God (Heb 11:6). The book I am currently reading, Crazy Love, by Francis Chan poses a challenging question which is "What am I doing right now that requires faith?" He goes on to say so many of us wouldn't be living very differently if we didn't believe in God; as our lives are not affected by faith. God calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through. It reminds me of Peter stepping "out" of the "safe" boat.

Who can forget Miss Priscilla's amazing teaching on Ephesians 3:20,21? "NOW, unto Him who is ABLE to do exceedingly abundantly above ALL that we can ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him by glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen!" God can go way past our way past! We have an unmangeable God. He's consistent in character but can "surprise" us in action.

Beth honesty and openness to being "punked" was refreshing! I know many of us have been there and the challenge is to love with our eyes WIDE open! Discernment is important in the end days as many more people will be bent on deceit. Satan is cunning remember he first tempted Eve by having her question God's word, "Did God really say that you shouldn't eat from every tree of the garden?" It is vital that we know His word as Miss Kay challenged us so that we can rest on it in EVERY circumstance in our lives!

God bless each of you through the last week of homework on this journey!

We will be having our Celebration Dinner this upcoming Monday night - same time, same place! (Batman comes to mind for some reason:) Okay, back on track - 6:45 p.m. at the church office in the creative room where we have been meeting! We will be finishing with the final video - Session 7 - which is an open forum of question/answer with Kay, Priscilla and Beth. It's a fun way to see each of them in a different more casual way.
