Crazy Love


Last Tuesday, Pearls of Hope turned the last page of Crazy Love and we are so excited to have completed our THIRD BIBLE STUDY together!!! The evening was filled with heartfelt discussion, vulnerable truths and a reminder that change is so necessary in order to become effective in our relationships with the Lord. We learned so much about our own hearts, how God wants to develop us and how we have a tremendous opportunity to share Christ with the world around us!

This study, for me personally, was a journey full of conviction concerning how to love the unloveable, how to operate in grace and compassion in the midst of conflict and unfair treatment, how to look for opportunities to give and to serve, and most importantly, I learned the significance of Matthew 25: To Love God means to love others, and in order to Love others, I must develop a sincerely intimate and reverent Love for God.

I praise the Lord for His word of truth, for His grace and mercy that He shares with us continuously, and of the loving sisters and friends that He has put in my life! This study, in particular, was a challenge for us all. It was difficult at times; uncomfortable, even, yet they all stayed the course! There were areas in our lives that needed to change, there were short comings that needed to be addressed, there were struggles that needed to be confessed, and as we tackled our problems, we were able to mature together- growing in friendship and in accountability. Together, we grew in God's love and in personal maturity within our Christianity. We prayed, confessed, encouraged each other and created opportunities to love and serve.

These are some amazing women! They are courageous and not afraid to be transparent  and reach out! I am so grateful to be connected to such women and I know that my life is the better for it! This experience was truly life changing!!! I'm so thankful for my Pearls and I cannot wait to begin our next study in September!!!

Stay Tuned for more!
Keep Growing, Keep Changing for Christ!
