Life Group

Sometimes I drift away... I get caught up in the world. I get caught up in things that don't really matter. I had drifted so far away from Jesus that I didn't even feel like I wanted anything to do with him. I thought that I could do life without a relationship with him. I'm not really sure why I had turned my back on him... My life was good, nothing devastating had happened to make me push him away. I just got comfortable doing life without him.

After I got married I went through a difficult few months adjusting to moving further away from my family & friends & Deric working a lot. I felt extremely lonely.

My mom called me one afternoon & brought up church to me. I immediately rolled my eyes, I didn't want to hear it. She was just encouraging me to find a church near where I live. She wasn't pushy about it at all, just giving me a lil advice when I shared with her how I was feeling lonely.

After that conversation I started to really think about it. I began to feel such a void & I needed it filled ASAP! I sat down at my computer and opened up pandora and put on the Christian music station and I cried. I felt so horrible for neglecting my need for that relationship for months... I could just feel his presence and felt like the void and loneliness I was feeling was slowly fading away. I started to fully dig into the bible after that day. I was craving that relationship more than ever. After a few months of rebuilding that relationship I kept feeling like I was being pushed towards starting a women's life group. So I began to pray about it & decided that it was time to follow through with it. I made a group page on facebook and invited many ladies to join and to encourage their friends to join as well. I was surprised by the response & also a lil nervous.

We chose a book and met for the very first time in April. We are reading Untamed by Lisa Harper & it is AMAZING so far!

After each chapter there are discussion questions that deal with real scripture from the bible & how it relates to our lives today. This group of ladies have started opening up in AMAZING ways and it is beautiful to watch everyone, including myself, grow and learn after each week! We're also creating friendships that are so dear to my heart! Friendships that are very different compared to the ones I've had in the past. It's so nice to meet women that LOVE Jesus & LOVE talking about how great he really is! This is also a good way to continuously build on my relationship with Jesus & to learn more about him because we do a good bit of studying for this life group.

We meet every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month @ 6:30 in Little River. If you feel like this is something you'd like to be a part of I invite you & encourage you to come! We would love to have you grow & learn with us! So please feel free to contact me :)
