Hey Everyone,
I hope that all of you have enjoyed the beginning of our study on the book of Esther! I love God's Word and enjoy fitting all of the pieces of the puzzle together...nothing challenges my brain more...nor do I find anything more intriguing! The study of Esther is so relevant to us girls, and I know that all of the hard work that we put into this study will be blessed abundantly! Hang in there girls and watch to see what ways God is blessing your life through this study. He will...but our eyes just have to be focused on watching for that blessing...let's not miss it by getting distracted! Our journey is going to filled with so much learning that our brains are just going to think that they may explode, yet we will find ourselves wanting more. You see, once you begin in-depth Bible study...you just can't stop. Your heart is forever changed, and your mind is forever left wanting to know more...more...more! Wanting to know more about His character, His love, His ways, His Word. In this life, we just learn fragments, and we piece those fragments together to form a understanding of who He is...as much of an understanding that our finite human minds can comprehend. The more fragments we have; the deeper our abilities are to know, understand, and believe Who He IS!!! Jeremiah 9:24 says..."let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows ME." Girls, let's be able to boast that we know HIM!!! That we are readers and lovers of His Word!! Let our life's mission be to learn as many fragments about His character as humanly possible to have a working comprehension of Who He is! Then...on one sweet, sweet day, we can take these fragments and place these pieces as a offering at the actual mercy seat of Christ. And then, He will fill in all of our missing pieces with the actuality of Who He is, and we will be able to look up and say..."I know Him!! I know Him!!" What a wonderful day that will be when we can fully know Him and actually kiss His face!!! But until that blessed day comes, let's commit to learn veraciously and intensely. Let's commit to love each other genuinely and passionately. Let's commit to live this life intentially...for the upward call in Christ!!!
Philippians 3:13-14
"Brother (and sisters), I do not count myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and reaching toward those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal, for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

Let's Try this Again!!!
Ok, so I have decided to give this CrossPoint women's ministry blog another shot!!! I think it will be a fantastic way for all of us to stay connected with one another and explore new ways of sharing our faith through technology. Also, now that we are about to begin a new Bible study, it may be fun to discuss things that we have encountered in our homework. I hope that this helps ignite a new fire for the women's ministry at CrossPoint! Let's face it ladies, we are the communicators!!! The ladies are the heart behind the ministry at any church; that is why I feel that this ministry is vital for CrossPoint. So let's use this blog to sharpen, encourage, and above all things...love each other. I can't wait to see what great and glorious ways God is going to use this blog for His ultimate glory!
