***Okay, I have changed this post a little because I think it was a little confusing how we are going to do this study....
The first thing to do is purchase the "Brave"BIBLE STUDY book by Angela Thomas. I had a hard time finding it anywhere besides Lifeway or online.
Then, starting tomorrow, everyone will come and post on THIS BLOG the information below....
This week we will introduce ourselves. Please post a comment on here telling everyone your name, where you are from, and a little about yourself. Also, if you are willing to share, I would ask that you also include an insecurity, flaw, or struggle that is keeping you from being "brave."
This coming week (starting tomorrow) we will read the first WEEK of the study.
Next Tuesday night I will post a new blog about the first WEEK'S materials. We will then begin discussion about what God is teaching us, saying to us, or any questions/thoughts anyone has. It will not be on video and we will not skype. It will strictly be through blog comments.
Don't forget to invite your friends! The more the merrier! Let me know if you have questions!

Looking forward to it!!
Rikki :)
I'm Kaydi and I live in Arlington, TX. I go to church with Rikki and she's one of my BFFs! I'm married and have 2 boys, Logan and Lucas; and a stepson, Justin. I teach kindergarten Dual Language ESL at Hobbs Williams Elementary in Grand Prairie.I attend Inglewood Baptist in Grand Prairie and volunteer in the student ministy and preschool area. One thing I am struggling with is "being good enough" at home, at work, etc. Really in all areas of my life.
ReplyDeleteHey ladies!! I am having trouble posting a comment with my google account...you can just go choose name/url under "choose profile" and then type your name and post a comment....that is the only way I am able to post comments right now...
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Jill! I've known Rikki since 3rd grade! We are both from Hope,AR but I have lived in Bentonville the past 10 years. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter named Brighton. My husband and I have been married for nearly 6 years! I am a 2nd grade teacher.
ReplyDeleteStruggles? Fears? I am moving to a new school and I'm praying to get along great with my new team members. I have severe anxiety and drama seems to follow me. I just want to teach and get along with everyone!
I am so excited about doing this study with everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest issue right now (and bascially for most of my life) is being a people pleaser! It bothers me SO much when others don't approve of me. Why do I constantly seek the approval of others....and sometimes it is of people that I don't even know very well or like that much? Why is it so important to me?
I'm Lori and I live with my daughter and her family. I take care of my two grandsons. I go to Inglewood. I struggle with discipline.
ReplyDeleteHi Ladies...I'm Kim Gaona. I've been married 24 years, have a wonderful godly husband, 2 beautiful children, whom 1 is married and the other is engaged. :) Needless to say, I'm older than most in this study. :) I recently had surgery so haven't been able to attend church and visit with the ladies. I'm excited about joining the study Rikki is facilitating. Doing a study on a blog, will be a new adventure. Curious how it's going to work. My biggest issue has always been forgiveness. It's weird, because I can forgive and look past most anything by just about everyone, but there are some people, those who are closest to me, that I find it very hard to forgive. I know Christ tells me, I must forgive others in order for Him to forgive me, but it's just really hard sometimes. I want to have that all forgiving heart.
ReplyDeleteThis is Heather- finally got my book :) I go to Inglewood with several of the other ladies where my husband is the youth pastor. We have been married for almost 9 years and have two sons 1.5 and 3.5 years. I stay at home most days but pick up a few shift a month at Cook Children's Hospital where I have worked as a Hematology/Oncology RN for over 7 years.
ReplyDeleteI struggle with neglecting daily study of the Word and time with God in my life, living as if I have it all under control without Him. I want to feel Him at work in my life. Accountability in a study like this is a great help! I'm looking forward to it. The boys just went down for a nap, so I'd better get started...
Please pray for my husband, Joel, and his family. His mother is under-going tests related to some memory loss. The diagnosis they just received is Alzheimer's. That's all I know right now, but of course they are all upset as they begin to process this. Thanks, friends.
