Divine Design Bible Challenge 2009

I recently joined my future sister-in-law, Bridgett, the Divine Design Bible Challenge. Bridgett was the one that told me about it and I checked out the lady's blog and read about it and immediately wanted to join. You get together once a month to make a card or craft with a Bible verse according to that month's particular theme, example- FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, TRUST, OBEDIENCE, ETC. Bridgett and I love to craft, so I know we'll be all into it. And for those of you who don't papercraft or rubber stamp, this is still something great you could do. Take that month to reflect on the month's theme. This month is FAITH, so I am definitely reflecting on faith and growing in faith and finding some wonderful scriptures on faith and you all know there are so many. But you can get together, share verses with each other that speak to you and relate to this month's theme, share testimonies, have some prayer together and praise in some Christian contemporary hits and of course have some yummy snacks. Have some fellowship! Bridgett and I and hopefully some others are hoping to all meet once a month and do this and make some cards. Hopefully I can get mine posted on here to show and inspire. I am really excited and hope I can stay on this cause I think it will definitely keep me focused on the WORD that I need daily and help me grow spiritually and have some great fellowship with some wonderful Christian women. Fellowship with Christian women is so important, uplifting and encouraing. I wish I had more time in the month to do that, but through emails and occasional phone calls with my fellow Christian women friends, that does help a lot. Some groups I've done with other women have been great- I did a lot of Beth Moore studies with some friends from church. We studied DANIEL, JESUS THE ONE AND ONLY AND STEPPING UP/PSALMS. They were great!!! I even got to accompany 4 great women to Louisville last August to a Beth Moore convention for 2 days. What an amazing trip and we learned so much! Stuff like this is so important, whether it's a weekend trip with some gal friends to a convention or concert or an evening in one's livingroom sharing each other's stories, laughter and tears and holding hands in prayer. Fellowship is encouraged!!!
