Be our strength every morning, our salvtion in time of distress (Isaiah 33:2).<br /><br />I pray that He will be gracious to you.<br /><br />That you will long for Him.<br /><br />That He will be your strength every morning.<br /><br />That He will be your salvation in times of distress.<br /><br />I hope that your Bible study goes well.<br /><br />Sweet dreams.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614103795909160503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-66610480911113452152009-10-12T21:15:31.974-05:002009-10-12T21:15:31.974-05:00Love your comments.

I had ordered Lysa's book (actually 3 of them) and have to say that I have been struggling with this issue of "Becoming More Than a Good Bible Study Girl" for the last 6 months. I do attend a Bible Study at my church weekly and attend church on Sundays.<br /><br />What really caught my attention and brought me hope and comfort in Chapter 1 is when Lysa wrote on pg. 26, "It is my prayer that reading this book will help you to discover two things: (1) a more meaningful connection with God, and (2) a truer fulfillment from letting your relationship with Him transform every area of your life."<br /><br />That is my prayer also! I'm ready God!<br /><br />Cindy in PAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-88762141948562644342009-10-08T04:25:11.574-05:002009-10-08T04:25:11.574-05:00Great post Lelia!

I guess I didn't scan to the back far enough as I saw 13. At any rate, maybe as a compromise, if there is one section that has much smaller chapters, maybe that section could be done in one week.<br /><br />I know I voted for one chapter a week. I could read more than that but I'm think my posts would be a mile long if covering three chapters. But then, maybe that would be a lesson in me trying to curve my words. Yeah right! ha.<br /><br />Just an FYI of my two cents. But remember, I said two cents and that can't buy anything these days. ☺Paula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-45897661775341106172009-10-07T09:14:08.746-05:002009-10-07T09:14:08.746-05:00So glad I said Yes to God on this book. I'm l...So glad I said Yes to God on this book. I'm loving it and loving Lysa even more as I get to know her. <br /><br />I, too, love one of her last quotes of: "True fulfillment is never found in seeking to do enough, be enough, have enough, know enough, or accomplish enough." Love the rhythm of all the enoughs...enough of the enoughs.<br /><br />Something that struck me when reading your post is that no matter what kind of life we have, we seem to still do the seeking outside of God. For example, Lysa didn't have a father; you have a great father. Yet, you both shared how you sought love and acceptance elsewhere besides God. So, no matter what we do have in this life, our flesh is still tempted to seek that natural desire for love and acceptance anywhere but God. Until...until we hit that brick wall. <br /><br />Hope you have time to read my post. <br />Love,<br />PaulaPaula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-86630030372874278862009-10-07T08:03:10.826-05:002009-10-07T08:03:10.826-05:00Lelia, I think this study is going to be more than...Lelia, I think this study is going to be more than wonderful!!
