Are you ready?

Hey my Bible Study friends! So...are you ready?

Are you? I mean, really?

Because this can be the journey of a lifetime...
....or simply a speedbump in your life that you may faintly recall in some day to come.

The choice is yours.

Aren't you ready to live as the creation, the person, the beloved that God made you to be?
Are you ready to find out from His Word what that actually looks like?

Let's rip the masks off and replace them with His TRUTH!!!

"So this is what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life- your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking around life- and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. Don't become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to
its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you,
develops well-formed maturity in you."
Romans 12:1-2, The Message

  1. I knew when I heard Vonda speak at the Christmas banquet and I had the first real gut-busting laugh I'd experienced in a year that I wanted to attend the bible study on her book "Seeing through the Lies". When I learned Julie was teaching it - I knew God was directing me there. My masks are heavy and I want to remove them and be everything He meant for me to be - as His child, as a Christian, wife, mother, grandmother, friend...

  2. Matthew 11:30 (The Message)

    28-30"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

    No one better to hand it over to, to trust it all with than your Father!
