Hey girls! How was your guys week/ weekend?
I just wanted to say how excited I am that all of you girls are part of this small group! And now that we are starting accountability, it's time for more bonding time, closer relationships, and more fun adventures with you all! :D I hope you guys really take advantage of having a sister in Christ keep you accountable. If you have a goal, tell your partner so they can help keep you accountable! We also want accountability to be somewhere we can share all our burdens, worries or problems without judgement! Be willing to be open and transparent with your partner! :)
So how are your devotionals going this week? Have you guys stuck to your schedule? Have you realized how precious God's word is?
Here's a reminder of what we went over Wednesday.
The Importance of His Word - Psalms 19:7-11
There are 6 main ways Scripture will affect your life:
God's word...
1. Transforms you - reviving the soul
2. Gives you wisdom - making wise the simple
3. Brings you joy - rejoicing the heart
4. Dispels the darkness - enlightening the eyes
5. Adds stability - enduring forever
6. Promises justice - altogether righteous
God's word should not be taken for granted! Remember "in keeping them there is great reward."
:) Hope you guys have a wonderful week! Share prayer requests and praises! :)

Great encouragement Katie! :)
ReplyDeletePrayer request: I'm really bombard with studying and homework this week, i spent basically the entire weekend doing hw, church was the only exception. Prayer that i can prioritize and give my best to God through schoolwork.
Praise: I'm doing better at waking up and going to sleep on time! :) I was able to sleep before midnight and get up by 6:30 to get to work by 8 :)
Hope everyone else's week is starting off well! see you guys on wednesday

Hey, thanks for the devo Katie!
ReplyDeletePrayer Request: My prayer request is that I will be able to complete all the essays and homework and be prepared for all my tests and presentations. I also want to have faith that is unwavering and a heart that will continue to trust in God and His will and plan for me.
Praise: God has been faithful through the past two weeks. I know that He helped me get through everything. Another praise is that I Aced both midterms that happened the last two weeks! Looking on the past two weeks reminds me that God is always there to give me strength.
Challenge: No fb/tumblr/youtube for the next week (until Friday) so I can focus on my relationship with God and my homework. :]
Can't wait to see you all on Wednesday! :D

i noticed i didn't even post my stuff :p
ReplyDeleteprayer requests: I have been stressed out even though i don't even have that much stuff -.-. Hm and recently this week I feel very emotional and need peace within me. So pray for mental peace and reliance on God. There is a lot of stuff I am worrying about but I have no control over, but it is still hard for me to let things go and put full reliance on God and realize He is in control.
praise: I went home this week! Thank God for a great weekend with family and friends! It is just what I needed :)
I'll be praying for you girls! <3
Devos have defiantly improved after SG and having an accountability partner. That is my biggest praise (to God) this week. Other smaller praises are that my aunt purchased me a ticket to go to the Philippines in Jan. I'm still in shock and I'm super thankful.
ReplyDeletePraying for you gals also =) I often forget to post on this blog so I made it one of my bookmarks so i can see it every time i open a webpage, if that would help, you gals should try it also so that we can all post every week =)
Thanks for the devo, Katie!
ReplyDeletePraise: God has definitely blessed me with enough energy to make it through the past few weeks of late-night drawing and studying! And He always provides :) I'm so thankful!
Prayer request: To be motivated to get ahead on assignments instead of doing them at 2am...and having better time management so I can spend more devo and quiet time with God!
Challenge: Set aside more time to spend on devos.
See y'all tomorrow :)

Amazing devotional Katie!
ReplyDeletePrayer Request: I need to make time to spend with God, not find time when I feel like it. Prioritizing is also something that I need prayer for. I have terrible time management.
Praise: I have finally be able to get rest this weekend, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Challenge: Spend more time on devos and personal time with God.
Thanks!
