To clear things up

Earlier posts mention Carrie, my niece, and Parker, her son. Figured I should explain that for those who may not know them. She inspired me to begin this blogsite, and I should give her due credit for that. I've been away from the keyboard for awhile but hope to make my posts more frequent.

I began Beth Moore's (Living Proof Ministries) new Bible study, "Esther: It's Tough Being a Woman", a few weeks ago and have already gotten behind on my homework. It's a very good study, and I am forever amazed at Beth's knowledge and energy!! We spend about an hour each week in small groups discussing homework from the previous week. Then we gather as a big group to watch Beth's video, which pulls our homework lessons together and always teaches us something new. From Esther, this is what we've learned and studied so far:

It's tough being a woman: 1) in another woman's shoes, 2) in a world where beauty is a treament, 3) in a mean world, 4) thrown a giant-size weight, 5) in the tight fist of fear.

I love her studies, because the life applications are always as they say, "spot on". More to come about the study as the weeks progress.

"If girls today walk a tightrope, Esther walked a tight thread." Beth Moore

  1. I can't wait to get started on this Bible study. We will watch the introductory video this Sunday! I'm also enjoying an inductive study of Colossians by Kay Arthur.

  2. You are going to LOVE the Beth Moore Bible Study; I am so envious that I can't do it at this time!!! I have always loved her studies! You'll have to keep us updated. Mama has just started it too!
