bible study blurb

The family and I had a great weekend. We got a lot done and was still able to rest a little bit. I ended up going to Brandi's on Friday night, and was scrapbooking with her until 2AM, so I missed my Friday night blog. It was fun though- we both got a lot done. I enjoy scrapbooking with Brandi - she gives me some great ideas. Plus, she has her cricut machine, for us to make die cuts and letters, so I can use that- so that's an extra bonus. :) I'm requesting the larger cricut machine for my birthday, so we can make larger things and share our cartridges. (ahem....hint hint Jer.....) :)

Church was great yesterday. I enjoyed the sermon. It was about teaching us how to study God's word, and do bible studies, instead of aimlessly reading through the Bible, he was teaching us how to dig deeper. It was really good, and gave us some good references of some Bibles to use for different studies.

I am really looking forward to the ladies bible studies starting up again in the fall. We are having our ladies summer party on Aug 22nd, and will get all the info on all the upcoming bible studies then. Bible studies and small groups are such a great way for women to come together in a smaller, more intimate setting and learn God's word together. Especially since our church is growing, it is hard to connect with people, unless you are involved in a small group of some sort. I highly recommend it!

Today is a lazy, rainy, cloudy day. Good day to sleep in, which is what we did. Isaiah finally woke us up at 9:00 this morning. What a nice change! We hung out with mom some today, and went to her house. Saw some good sales at Michael's in this weeks ads. Hm, I might have to go over there later..... :) In the meantime.......I'm off for some quiet time while the kids are resting. :)
