Do not fear.

Hello Girls,


“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:20


Last Friday was an awesome session focusing on our fears. Who better to represent the fears of a woman than queen Esther from the Bible.
Who hasn’t experience the fear of not knowing what the future holds? A fear of not being a good mom, good wife or whatever circumstance you are going through. At times there may be fears in your heart that you feel like you can't tell anyone but God.
To trust God is a decision we have to make. God sometimes puts us through situations where the only thing we can do is to trust Him with all our mind, heart, and soul. He does this so we can have that peace and let him do the work in us and around us. 
So woman do not fear because God is with you!!!! This is a promise we have from Him. 
Don’t forget to do your study on Esther. I wish I could put all the great things God is speaking to me this week of study in this blog but I gave you just a little glimpse so you can check your study books.
TOMORROW is the Harvest Festival. A lot of candies and games. 5:45 pm.
Hope to see you there. 
For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may boldly say: "The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"Hebrews 13:5-6
Love you all,

Women's Connection Group

Hey girls,
 Every week I tell myself I am going to drop some lines to the ladies of my connection group and let them know I am praying for them and I love them. For some reason I always ended writing over a couple paragraphs. So much comes to my mind =). I am girl so it is ok. 

 I hope you are preparing your hearts for our class tomorrow because it is going to be great. So Thea asked last Friday “Why Mordecai did not change his clothes and entered to see the  Queen Esther?” In your day no. 2, Pag 88 you can see the answer to that question.
 If you are a little behind or very behind in your studies please don’t let that stop you from coming to the connection group. Doing our daily bible study is a personal blessing that I wouldn’t want you to miss but you can always start where you are. Our last class and this week's bible study is “It’s tough being a woman thrown a giant size weight”. 
 So here is a question for you to meditate on and we can share the answers tomorrow in our chit-chat before the video.
Has God ever allowed a threat of trouble in your life to drive to your knees? If so, what did yo learn    through that experience? 
 This session Beth shared a song with us and I hope you liked on the day No.5 “Miracle of the Moment” by Steve Curtis Chapman’s This moment CD. Check out the video. 

Love,
