Hi. I’m a South Jersey Girl transplanted to Tidewater, VA after spending 10 years in NC. Still considered by my local Virginia friends, though as “the Jersey Girl”. Even at the age of 55 and no longer sounding like South Jersey. 🙂 In my free time I love to go boating, reading on the beach, and singing praise songs along with the radio or iPod.
I’m from KY, and I’m 54 years old. In my spare time I love to read or listen to or sing worship music.
Hi, my name is Lori and I’m from South Carolina. I am 54 years old and have lost interest in almost everything I used to do in my spare time (bc of stress and depression) Doing this study has given me something positive to do.
Stick with it sister. The Lord will bring you THROUGH!
Hi Lori, Dont give up. I suffered from severe depression and anxiety for 15 years after I had my babies. I have been completely healed. I know this becusae I was sitting on the couch one day and that hopless, helpless, no interest in anything feeling just lifted off me like a heavy blanket being taken off and I knew. I have been free for 3 years now. I am going to pray for the same complete healing for you.
God has given me a word for you Lori. please read it every day and memorise it until it becomes part of your daily thinking and vocabulary. most of all remember especially that His strength is made perfect in your weakness.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
That was Philippians 4:4-9
Live in NW Arkansas. Originally from Pennsylvania. I am 46 ( just had a birthday on the 15th)! Love spending time with my kiddos! However, If I am missing in action, you can usually find me with my fingers in the dirt nurturing my plants and probably telling the bugs to hit the highway. Otherwise I might be consuming a good book in a quiet corner or grabbing the sneakers for a short run!

Hi everyone: I am Cathy, 60, from St. Catherine’s, Prince Edward Island — Canada’s Smallest Province; Home to “Anne Of Green Gables”; and Birthplace Of Canada (Charlottetown Conference 1864).
In my free time, I love reading (History as you can see is one of my favourite subjects) but, spending time with my family (two-legged and four-legged) comes first and crocheting afghans would vie with reading.
Sending blessings to every one here.
Sincerely,
Cathy.
I had to go back over an hour to find someone my age and that someone is YOU! So happy to have found you. Thanks for the blessings and blessings back to you.
Hi Carol: Thanks for the note and thanks for taking the time to find me!! This question/blog is the first one I have participated in and I am fascinated by all the different ages, locations, and people who are in this study. Didn’t quite know what to expect but am so glad I signed up as I am thoroughly enjoying it.
Well, that’s about it on this snowy Island Day. Wishing you a great day and a great week.
Sincerely,
Cathy.

Spare time: learning to become God’s servant due to health issues, which no longer allow me to be a servant of this world. Your blog and bible study are helping immensely. Thank you for what you are doing for the rest of us 🙂
I understand. I am learning to become God’s servant also due to my health issues. This study has been helping me too. I pray that you will continue to grow in God’s love.
