Hello ladies! We had such a fun time of fellowship and laughter tonight. Thank you, April for letting us use your Anita Renfroe Big Ol Ice Tea DVD. We will not be having bible study next week. I pray that you have a good week, and I'll see you on the 13th (let me know if you want to sign up for the main entree, a side or desert). Please feel free to email, call, text or post your prayer requests this week. I love you all and I'm so thankful for your involvement in this ministry. I'll leave you with the prayer from our last session of Breaking Free:
Dear Sister,
Yesterday is behind you. A new day has come. Christ has set you free. It’s time for you to accept that you are forgiven and blessed. When you feel bad let him preach you some good news. When your heart breaks, let him bind it up and heal it. When fires come, let him give you beauty for ashes. Walk with Christ just one day at a time and he will make you someone you never dreamed you could be. Stay in the word. Do what it says. Do not give up. Do not give in. You have the indwelling power of Christ. Girlfriend, you can do this. Now unto Him who can keep your feet from falling and present you blameless before God with dancing and leaping joy, be glory and majesty power and authority forever and ever amen.
in His love,
crystal

Prayer Requests
Hey ladies! What an amazing study this has been. I pray that those of you who were not able to do the homework will be able to take time in the future to catch up, you will not regret it =0)
Here are the prayer requests for the week:
Kim - for her colleagues at work to have peace about their jobs and gain clarity for direction, and for her husband as he starts a new job on Monday.
Crystal - please pray for my sister as she is back on drugs again. I have so much hope now that I know that God was able to reach her once. I know that He can do it again, I pray that He does whatever He needs to so that she will direct her attention once again to Him. Please pray for the teachers as they go back to school - pray that the will be proactive and sensitive to their "problem" children's issues. Please pray for Mark and I as we start our new business.
Luisa - for her mother, Eva to learn to receive the love that is given to her. Luisa believes that her mother's low self esteem is the root of this issue.
Laura - please pray for her father's health and for her friend who accidentally chopped off her pinky.
I'm looking forward to seeing all of you next week. We will be gathering for a time of fellowship, prayer and connection =0)
in His love,
crystal

Prayer requests August 9, 2010
What a great bible study session tonight! Here's Beth's perspective: God says that we love because He loved us; therefore, He is the initiator of love. There is never a time when we are thinking about how much we love God that He hasn't just expressed His love for us. Our response should be I love you too, God. Amen! It's incomprehensible to me that our God loves us as much as He does while we are yet sinners. God is so good. I am so thankful for His grace and mercy, and for the freedom to love Him. Here are the prayer requests for the week:
Please pray for Tanvir's mom; she was robbed in a home invasion last Monday at 5am. The robber woke her up and made her go though the house with him, giving him her valuables. The stress of the situation caused her to have a heart attack and she had to have two stints put in her heart. She came home from the hospital Saturday, but she is having trouble sleeping. Please pray for physical and emotional healing and also that she is able to experience peace during this time.
Please pray for Connie's grandson, Collin. He has just returned from spending the summer with his mother and he is having some disciplinary issues.
Please pray for Kim as she was not feeling well this evening.
Please pray for my sister, Tanya, and her son (my nephew), Nickolas; Tanya was amazing for about a week, but then she disappeared and neither of us has seen her. She has called him once or twice, but I know that he misses her terribly. Please pray for God to send people to minister to Tanya. I am still certain that she was a different person the day I talked to her, but I think that the enemy wants nothing more than for her to go back to her old ways. Please pray that she is strengthened and able to stand up under her temptations.
Please pray for all of the children, parents and teachers as they prepare to head back to their school routines.
Thank you ladies! It is a pleasure to study God's word with you. See you next week!
in His love,
crystal
p.s. anyone want to bring snacks? =0)
