I also love to relax by our nearby lake, (or any lake!) especially with a good book, (or THE good book!) When my hubby and kids are along, we like to go biking, kayaking and/or camping. (in good weather.) Sometimes, we just get in the car and go for a drive, short or long, to explore the beauty of the entire Pacific Northwest Region.

Hello All,

Praise God for progress. 😉 I live in sunny Los Angeles, but at the moment am in sunny Kauai. In my free time I like to travel, read, and watch murder mysteries. I am training for my first triathlon – not much of a challenge in your 20’s I say! – so at present that takes up my free time as well. Looking forward to growing, connecting and sharing with you all through this study.

(I already posted here once but I need to post this as well) I seriously need prayer. I have recently lost my job. My grandmother has just been put on hospice care and I am almost too depressed to even think about continuing this study. I have picked up the book several times in the last couple of days and I am just feeling so anxious that I cannot rest long enough to start and finish reading the chapter.
Kelly know that God is with you!! He wants to speak to you through this book. Don’t give up! We are all praying with and for you.
Kelly, my heart and prayers go out to you; having been in somewhat similar positions a couple of times, I rely heavily on the Spirit to do my praying for me in such times, knowing that the Spirit can translate my heart’s desires to the Maker of Heaven and Earth.
Hi Kelly My Prayers are with you. I have felt that way to so what I do when I can’t sit and read I walk around and read the book I may have to go back and reread it but that’s fine to my brain does pick up some things. I you go sit with your grandmother take the book and read it out loud to her even if she don’t understand. I’m sorry to here about Her and your job. Don’t let the devil stop you from finishing this study it will help a lot. Keep pushing God is with you and so is this big band of ladies. In Christ Love Amen
