Do you ever have so many creative things you want to do and yet you just don't know how to do it or where to start? That's where I am right now. I have graphics I want to make, but not sure what exactly to make. I have a web page to work on, but I can't visualize how to set it up. I have an idea on how to change and set up another blog of mine, but can't quite decide how to have it look. I have cards I want to make, but not sure how to put them together. I have so many ideas swimming around in my head and yet I'm just wasting my time and not getting anything accomplished. So I thought I would go ahead and write an entry about our last Woman's bible study on Thursday night.
Thursday night was the last study of the book we were doing. The whole book was on encouraging one another. It was an awesome book and I have learned a lot of different things about encouragement. So the lady that teaches the study decide to give us some parting gifts of encouragement. Also, another lady who is in the group made cards for each one of us.
The night itself was a sweet night. We opened up to each other in an even deeper way than we had the whole other 11 studies. I got to know these women in a way that the Lord is truly bringing us together, and I am so blessed by it. We will be starting another book soon, in about two weeks, and I so look forward to that. I have no study right now to go to, and that is a bummer, but it's nice that it won't be that long until it starts up again. So here are the pictures of the encouraging gifts we received.
The first thing she let us pick was what kind of pastry we wanted. I picked this very yummy eclair.
Then she gave us a sweet card, a serving plate and a box with lots of things in it.
Here is a close up of the serving plate that has a house, church and sheep on it, a journal with a letter J on it and a little gift box of chocolates.
And here is a close up of the two personal cards I received, a magnet, a small book and a box of blank cards that I can use to encourage other women.
So there are my gifts. I am so blessed by the all, and I will always remember our time together when I use them.
Tonight is our graduation/swim party. Sarah is feeling much better, thank you Lord. Just a slight cough. So we are all going to be able to go tonight. I will try and take lots of pictures to share.
I'm so glad Sarah is feeling better and you will be able to go to the party.
That looks like a wonderful selection of presents. I especially like the plate. I'd hang it on the wall. It looks like some artwork I already have up!
You have inspired me to think of ways to be an encouragement to other women. I'm not very good at that.
What a sweet Bible study you have been a part of! How neat the way you all have grown together, and then shared with each other at the end. Relationships like that aren't always easy to come by.

This blog is so I can share my journey with the Lord, my journey as a wife and mother, and my journey as a homeschool mom. I pray that you will see the Lord in my life through happy and sad times, and that this blog glorifies the Lord.
This is an award and tag free zone, thank you.
So I thought I would go ahead and write an entry about our last Woman's bible study on Thursday night.
