A Study of John

Our church offers a women's bible study on Thursdays that's been on hiatus the last couple weeks, after the summer session ended. For the fall studies, there are four classes available and I chose a Beth Moore study entitled Beloved Disciple. It's a video series, filmed in Greece, about the life of John and the love he had for Christ. Each week there is an hour long video, followed by discussion and prayer. And in between meetings there is five days worth of homework to enhance the most recent lesson and prepare for the next. Today's homework included writing a letter to Christ about what our heart desires the most and and in ten weeks we'll revisit the letter to see how God has worked in our lives. It was a moving experience, writing this letter, and I encourage all to do it--even if you're not partaking in the study. I'm eager to learn about John and his intense love, to meet weekly with the women at our church, and be part of a new prayerful and supportive group.
