Where to start?
I am a fairly new to blogging but find it very relaxing and it definitely helps fill a void for my inability to use my creativity. But that is not the reason I wanted to start Think. Pray. Live. Over the past year, now that the dust of moving has settled, I am lost.
History
Over a 2 years ago I was a member of a wonderful church in Fishers Indiana -Christ the Savior where every Friday morning I would meet with an incredible group of women for a bible study. This in fact was my first ever bible study - but God was pushing me to go into uncharted waters. (we all know how that feels) Well when an experience is nudged by God you know it will be life altering. I was the youngest of the 15-20 women who met (they are still meeting) weekly. I guess it made me feel like I was surrounded by non judgmental Christians. Each of these women were at varying stages in their journey with Christ. Each gathering we would start with food to nourish our bodies, prayers and praises and then begin our bible / book study.
These wonderful women helped me move forward in my journey with Christ. I had never felt so close to God in my entire life. Over a year a go my husband Clint, daughter Ashlynd and I decided to moved back to what I call home. The hardest part of this decision was moving away from dear friends and the wonderful community of CTS that opened my eyes to Gods goodness. I have been very consumed with material day to day details over the past 18 months and daily find myself feeling lost again, searching for a way to get closer to my God.
Oh yes, I sing to God each morning on my way to work. My daughter and I pray every morning and night. For Christmas my husband gifted me a daily devotional book - and I love it. But it still does not fill my need for contact with other women to discuss how God is helping us, you, me get through life. My new/old church does not have a group that would work with my schedule. You are probably saying find another church that has bible studies; or start one of your own in your church. Time....
Maybe this is Gods way of pushing me again - guiding me to help myself and others in my same life situation. A virtual bible /or book study, maybe it is support blog, I don't have any parameters of what we discuss but I have allot of expectations of what I hope to get back from starting this blog.
THE BEGINING....
Think. Pray. Live.
