Getting Excited!

One of the items on my list of things that I'd like to do with my kids this year has been to have a Bible study/ fellowship time for Autumn and some other girls. I have wanted to do this for awhile but because of other commitments, it just has not been possible. But now that I am embarking on a new adventure this year..........my schedule is not so full and these are the types of things I consider enhancing our family life. I intend to use Elizabeth George's book, A Young Women After God's Own Heart. I am very excited about this and Autumn is thrilled that we are actually going to pursue this. I am thrilled as her mom that she is yearning for Godly friendships, knowing the Lord more personally and wanting to fellowship with other teen girls who know the Lord. The most exciting thing for me is that she is thrilled her mom is teaching the study. That is the most rewarding thing for me. My almost 13 year old daughter loves her mom and wants to learn God's word with her mom. I couldn't be more pleased to have her have this attitude and I am so excited to embark upon and be a part of this new adventure with her and her friends.
