I'm back. And today we finish up our study of gentleness. I will be sending out an email to the rest of the ladies at church to let them know we will be starting another study soon. Unless you all have an ideal starting time, I guess we will start after the books arrive. So we will only have about a week to two weeks down time. For those of you who don't really want a break, I will have interum assignments for you. We'll be using the book on Colossians/and the other book that I can't remember right now. (Yes, I still have a bit of brain fatique from that headache.) Let me know for sure if you will be participating so I know how many books to order.

Assignment for Wednesday, July 1
Can you believe it is already July!?! Well, it is.
I am appreciating the way the author is presenting gentleness. My dad used to say the word refers to the same thing we mean when we say a horse has been gentled. I'm not sure if that term is still used today, but basically it means that the horse is still strong and has his own opinion but has chosen to submit himself to the owner. The horse is tame. We also are to be tame.
I am still looking at study options. One that Brooke mentioned last week is Colossians and Philemon: Continue to Live in Him, Living Word Bible Studies which you can examine at www.cbd.com . This one looks like a good study and is divided in a way that will be easy for us to use. Let me know what you think. I probably should order SOMETHING by the beginning of next week.
One last note, I think I can speak for all of us when I say that you are in our prayers, Sarah and Brooke, as you travel and mourn your grandmother.

Good morning (or whenever), ladies.

Breaking Free: Discover the Victory of Total Surrender
Stepping Up: A Journey through the Psalms of Ascent
David: 90 Days with a Heart Like His
Jesus: 90 Days with the One and Only
John: 90 Days with the Beloved Disciple
To Live Is Christ
Believing God
Things Pondered from the Heart of a Lesser Woman
Take a look to see if any appeal to you. Let me know what you think. We can always go a different direction if you would prefer, but we need to decide soon!

Assignment for Monday, June 29
A new week and a new topic. Are you ready to be gentle?
From the survey results, it seems the majority of you would prefer to do something else by this author. I'll take a look to see what is available and present some options. Feel free to look yourselves and let us know what you think looks good. Also, I need some input as to when the next study should start.
I want to thank you again, ladies, for being a part of this study with me. It's so encouraging to have you all keep me accountable each day. I have enjoyed each study and look forward to many more!
