Summer Bible Study-Week 3 (w/ a bonus feature)

Tonight was another great night. To all of you Girls who come, thank you! Thank you for sharing so openly and honestly. You have encouraged, inspired, and uplifted me. I'm learning so much!

For those of you who haven't been able to be a part of this study, here are some topics we're discussing:

• words and the influence they have over us
• who we are and what we struggle with are not the same thing
• we need to rely on God's Word and not our own
• wrong thinking comes from faulty assumptions
• we have a choice: "Act according to truth or react to our emotions."
• "By faith we receive truth. By faith we believe truth. And by faith we act on truth."
• God gave us the Holy Spirit to teach, comfort, counsel, and defend us.
• we need to be awake and have our shield of faith ready to fight against the devil's attacks
• we've become so used to the lies Satan tell us, we often think it's our own voice
• prayer is the best weapon when fighting the devil
• we need accountability

Talk about food for your soul, huh?

Each week we meet together we watch Beth's video on her thoughts, discuss some topics she lays out for us, and comment on her blog about our time together. Tonight we decided to have some fun and be different. We put our comments in the form of a rap. It was a blast! (I'm so sorry you missed Jen's performance. It was definitely award winning! Ha! Love ya, Girl!) Here's what we came up with:

A little rap from the Bible Study "Babes" in Springfield, MO.

5-6-7-8: Holla!
Me, Myself, and Lies is what we folla'.

Yo, Bethie we're here
to tell ya 'bout our fears.

Satan tells us lies
And sometimes makes us cry.

We're stepping out in faith
To claim our rightful place.

Like the woman with the flo,
We need our faith to grow!

We recognized our triggers,
And we know that God is bigger.

To keep our closets from the fire,
We're kickin' out that big fat liar!

Word to the Father!!!!!
