I've been wanting to start a women's bible study book club.

Where we can study the word, grow in our faith together, laugh, cry and just talk about what's on our minds.

I feel that this is so crucial today as the world is crumbling right before our eyes (as predicted - just open the book).
The lack of connection that we are experiencing is leading so many to drift into the spiritual orphan state.

As I continue to search for a physical place to hold a women's bible study book club - I have decided to start building a Christian bible study community online.

I really don't know what that looks like yet, but you can help me build this community by joining Our Father's Daughters - link below. We can build it together!

Starting today, we remember and celebrate the most important events in history! Starting with the Crucifixion & then the Resurrection.

1 misunderstood man suffered torturous excruciating physical pain, emotional pain, suffering, humiliation, rejection, loneliness, grief, abandonment, while being mocked - ALL so we could have a chance (our choice) to be brought to the Father... (Bible References Below).

All the pain and suffering that we all suffer today - was all combined into 1 man - can you even imagine?
Not to minimize anyone's pain or suffering - but think about this...

There is NOTHING that we go through today, that Jesus didn't experience or suffer during His time on earth. AND during His suffering, He lead by example DAILY!

How are we living - as believers? Do we lead by example? Do people see Jesus in us when we are having a bad day?
How do we treat people who need our help?
How do we see someone who is suffering from their own bad decisions?
Do we lend a helping hand - or turn our back and criticize?

Jesus sat with people like us who are or have struggled with their own sin - poor decisions - AND USED THEM TO SAVE OTHERS WHILE SAVING THEM FROM THEMSELVES!!! He used them to change the world?

Have you asked God how he can use you?

John 19:30 - When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

1 Peter 3:18 - For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.

Mathew 9:10-13 - While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice. "For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Romans 8:28-28 - 18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bo***ge to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

How many women in Evansville do not go to church (for whatever reason), but want to draw closer to God?

Someone needed this today...

The truth is... As believers, we know that we are forgiven. So why is it so hard for us to forgive ourselves?

How many struggle with this?

Good evening Women of Evansville!

I know this is going to be a touchy topic. All we need is a yes / no answer in the comments.

Ladies - is there a need for a faith based non-professional nonprofit organization in Evansville, specifically focused on women who have suffered some type of emotional abuse?

No set fee for session-just donate what you can, if you can.

The vision:
- 1st speak to women on a personal level to get their story - continue to have faith based sessions that focuses on restoration / reformation to reverse the effects of abuse and be able to move past the pain that ultimately leads to inner peace and building healthy relationships.
- Use our painful experiences to help others in the community.

Speaking from experience… when we experience these types of relationships, we tend to hid behind the abuse. For different reasons.
Number #1 - lack of people to talk. #2 fear of being judged. #3 lack of $ or resources. #4 Fear of our abuser. #5 Protecting our family. The list is endless.

This would not take the place of a church, nor any therapies you already attend, or coDA.
Although, there may be similarities - this is a “specifically focused” approach.

Do you know the significants behind this passage?
Romans 28:8

This is a "conditional promise" from God saying - if you give me all your despair, hurting, pain, what man meant for bad, and yes even our own mistakes, hang-ups, bad choices, sin... That God will turn it into something beautiful, IF YOU GIVE IT TO HIM - the condition...
Give HIM all the pieces.

God never promised that it would be easy, nor does He promise everything in "this" world is good.
Often times, God will let us go through a painful experiences to shape us for His purpose. This is how God gets your attention. No one ever changes when times are good.

Romans 8:28
“And we know that all that happens to us is working for our good if we love God and are fitting into his plans.”

Notice it doesn't say "some" that happens - is says "ALL" that happens.

That means - not only does God use what man meant for bad, but also our bad choices, hang-up, sin... God can and will use it for good - if you give it to Him.

Do you know what He does with it? He changes the world, through YOU! Imagine if everyone did this..

Don't let your experiences make you bitter - let them make you better.

Compare this to the individual events in your life - A cake for example - all divided into individual parts are bitter to the taste.

The flour & baking powder alone does not taste good.
Vanilla alone - bitter
Raw egg - yuck
Oil / Butter alone! ewww
Salt - please don't
Milk - well this one is ok alone 🙂

But... you mix it all together... You get a CAKE!
