Thankfully, God rescued me from almost buying fully into that idea while I was at college learning more about His Word. At times I still think that,but God rebukes me. It's wonderful to hear about you! I was doing the study,but had to back out in this season of my life. I still would like to read some of the blogs of the ladies doing it though!Blessed Among Womenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341670192802383198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791985385461820909.post-28816307084663945392008-10-15T21:02:00.000-07:002008-10-15T21:02:00.000-07:00Hey beautiful sister of mine!HA!

No doubt!<BR/><BR/>Second, you don't think I'm a slave-driver? Bummer, well, I better start cracking the whip! HA! Just kidding. Anyone who knows me knows I've grown too old and too tired to drive myself anywhere let alone anyone else.

Love you!<BR/><BR/>Amanda-thanks so much for your sweet comment. I was interested to learn that you are a pharmacist and what your area of expertise is. I may be calling on you in that area before too long. I had insulin dependent gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy and it was really tough. But I got through it with God's help and the little ankle-biter at my knees right now is a living testimony to God's faithfulness.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08130423275018373500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791985385461820909.post-19277900625905020452008-10-14T04:34:00.000-07:002008-10-14T04:34:00.000-07:00Sunny-I do remember leaving that comment on the or...Sunny-I do remember leaving that comment on the original blog. I just can't remember how I got THERE in the first place. <BR/><BR/>First and foremost, it was obviously a God thing. I think you had maybe commented on another blog I was reading (Joyfully Living for His Glory maybe?) and the title of your blog intrigued me. <BR/><BR/>I do remember that at the time I was mentoring/counseling some friends of mine who were going through a particularly rough patch in their marriage and when I stumbled across the study realized something like this could turn that all around. And I realized I needed it too. <BR/><BR/>I was just so incredibly amazed at how you spoke about your husband and the story you told about the guys who were joking around with you about how lucky he got when he married you. I have a strict rule to not ever speak ill of my husband in the presence of others, but I had never thought of poking fun like that as a way of dishonoring him. You had me in tears with that one-then I was hooked. So here I am.<BR/><BR/>By the way, thank you. And for the record-I do NOT think you are a slave-driver!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08130423275018373500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791985385461820909.post-26681964019531691352008-10-13T18:09:00.000-07:002008-10-13T18:09:00.000-07:00I understand the word submissive, I had to learn t...I understand the word submissive, I had to learn the hard way . A harsh lesson in humility taught me what the true submissive wife is. Thank you for being bold enough to stand and teach other women the true meaning of the word. It is not the meaning that the world has put on it, nor is it giving up one's own person or personality. It is the true meaning of love and commintment to one's spouse and then the children in the relationship. Hang in there my sister, I am here supporting you and loving you every step of the day. I lift you and your family up daily to our Father. I love you.bethbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919410613897922779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791985385461820909.post-71005212803242842762008-10-13T09:09:00.000-07:002008-10-13T09:09:00.000-07:00I hope this doesn't sound to wierd, but my soul is...I hope this doesn't sound to wierd, but my soul is in love with yours already!!!!<BR/><BR/>" Is this not the coolest? This is Bible Study the 21st century way (but the message is the same), connected with women around the globe. I mean, is that just not so neat? Who gets opportunities like that on a daily basis, to join hearts and prayers with sisters on the other side of the world, and right next door? Very powerful stuff, but I digress. (Shocking I know)."<BR/><BR/>I'm totally in AWE of what God is doing with this blogging thing!!<BR/><BR/>" I LOVE women's ministries. My background is in biblical counseling and I love speaking to, encouraging and teaching women. It is one of my greatest passions."<BR/><BR/>Diddo<BR/><BR/>"I started to realize that my family was getting my leftovers. Don't get me wrong, I loved my ministry and my church. But after much prayer and seeking the guidance of my husband I realized I had to step down. This was such a hard decision to make, but I have recently come to realize that my primary biblical responsibility and ministry is to my family. Even more important is maybe the realization that that is okay."<BR/><BR/>Diddo AGAIN!!!!!<BR/><BR/>"So my family is my ministry. Husband first, kids second."<BR/><BR/>Diddo one more time!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Before I found blogging and specifically, Sunny, I would cry in my shower to the Lord about feeling so lonely and that I must be the only wacko woman in the world who felt the way I did. Well, guess what sister...you are an answer to my prayers...you are another one of us "wacko" sisters!! LOL!! (I prefer the term kindred spirits...but my husband says, "freak" or "wacko"). It truly is a complement from the bottom of my heart...I just love finding out that God not only created me unique, but He liked this personality so much that he tweaked it a bit and gave it to lots of other women...and I am getting meet some of them right here!! (Oh...I also digress, ramble, talk a lot, gush with excitement, encourage, and prayer...so sorry for the long comment but something tells me you will understand).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, consider yourself saturated in prayer as of this moment by your new sister, Amanda.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to hearing more of what God has in store for you and your beautiful family.<BR/><BR/>Amanda Bowers @ onesacrifice.blogspot.comAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325726904030118253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791985385461820909.post-60507206187062190622008-10-13T08:48:00.000-07:002008-10-13T08:48:00.000-07:00Hello dear sister Lisa!WOW!

What a praise to God, and honor to Him for all that He has done in your life!<BR/><BR/>I remember how you found this study, you found my it on my personal blog before God directed me to move it to it's "own" space. You left me a comment on how you taught a Bible Study last year on Captivating by John and Stasi Elderedge. And how it related to what God's Holy Spirit inspired me to write on why a woman was made from a man's rib.<BR/><BR/>I have an awful memory about most things, but not about these things. :-)<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your transparency, I'm enjoying getting to know you better. And I am most grateful for your devotion and love for Christ our Lord first, and to your husband and children BEFORE anyone or anything else! :-)<BR/><BR/>You bless my heart and I am so grateful for you sister!<BR/><BR/>With great love in Christ Jesus,<BR/>SunnySunny Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674475342718080024noreply@blogger.com
