Is it really worth the pain?

In the introduction, Lisa shares a funny story about wearing very stylish boots that were less than comfortable. What a great analogy for life...

In life are the little decisions we make to 'feel' good worth the pain and heart ache later? Have you ever found yourself in one of these situations? What are some of the feel good things that women find ourselves falling into and what is the real 'cost'?

Getting to know each other...

So that we can all get to know each other a little better, let's introduce ourselves. Be sure to include your name and one way God has worked in your life big or small.

Here's mine for an example:
Kristyn Butts: Several years ago, it was the end of the month and the bank account was getting very low. I had decided that the groceries for the rest of the month were going to have to be bought with the credit card. When I went to the mailbox that day, there was a card with $100 in it. To this day, I have no idea where it came from, but thank God for whoever it was!

A mess in need of a perfect Messiah!

Our first Bible study was such a blessing. Begin reading the book, A Perfect Mess. We will be discussing the introduction and Chapter One for the next two weeks.

So that we can maintain a positive environment, please be sure to follow a few guidelines.

~All postings need to be related to our Bible Study and reading. Just a friendly reminder that this is not a social network, but a forum for growth and discussion that is pleasing to God.

~Confidentiality - We want everyone to feel comfortable sharing and participating. So please don't discuss personal information with those who are not part of the Butterflies Gather and Grow.

That's it! Now all you need to do is register and start blogging :)

Bible Study for Ladies of all Stages of Life

January 15th at 7:00 pm will be our first Gathering of the Butterflies Gather and Grow. We will begin our study of the book of Psalms using A Perfect Mess. If you are having trouble finding a copy of the book, check out proverbs 31 ministries. Please don't let this keep you from participating. You do not need to have read any of the book to come on Friday. How do you know if this Bible study is for you? Well do you feel like a mess - It's for you. Do you feel like your inadequate - It's for you. Are you a lady - It's for you. Do you desire to grow closer to your Savior - It's for you. If you answered yes to any or all of the questions above, then YES this is the Bible Study for you. See you January 15th!

Under His Wings,
Kristyn
