These questions are from the last series we completed in Sunday School on life’s earthquakes, and they got me thinking. It’s really hard isn’t it, balancing being a mom, a wife, a friend, an employee, a sister, a daughter, and the many other roles we find ourselves fulfilling every day, even without the unexpected earthquakes that pop up along the way? What seems to be even harder is to find a moment to squeeze in a prayer, much less real time in God’s word. We know what we should do, but finding the time to do it and process it is often a challenge.  

I would really like to start a Bible study for the girls only. I know that our time is precious and another thing is difficult to squeeze into our schedules, but I firmly believe that we can offer something to each other through sharing our faith & fumbles with each other in Bible Study, prayer, & fellowship. I was thinking once or twice a month, starting around 7:00 to allow us to take care of bellies and baths, leaving Daddies only bedtimes to handle. We could do it at a different house everytime or find a host house for each time, and maybe rotate on snacks or desserts each time. The night would be whatever fit the schedule of the majority. And of course, this is open to anyone, not just the ladies of the iLife Class.
