It is challenging to keep going at times. We have so much facing us each week, but I really seek to grow closer to God this year.
My goals to break through in different areas seem to be moving forward.
I want to start a women’s Bible study at my church and I find great resources here in the #LMMLinkup community each week to succeed with this.
Thanks everyone for participating each week!
Now on to our weekly linkup. First, please follow me on your social media. I love to hear from you:

Linkup Rules:

- Please remember this is a family-friendly linkup. Although we believe in the right for adults to read whatever they want to read, we prefer to read wholesome posts that feature literature that edify and uplift families. We reserve the right to delete any posts that are not family friendly. We love all kinds of literature and genres including family-friendly inspirational romances, fantasy, or science fiction. We do not welcome any posts that feature excessive violence, sexual content, or any cursing. This rule also applies to book review posts that feature books that are not family-friendly. These posts will be deleted without notice to the blogger or explanation. While we believe in the right for all adults to read whatever they want, we feel our linkup is for family-friendly posts only. Thank you for understanding.
- We also want to be loving community by supporting one another. Please make a point to do this this week! Visit the two posts before yours and at least one other blogger’s post of your choice!

Thanks for sharing the Philippians 1 memory challenge, Mary. I’m looking forward to digging into it myself. I’ve tried to memorize it in the past, but it didn’t stick very well.
I’m sure you’ll do a great job leading a women’s Bible study at your church!
All the best to you as you persevere in your goals: starting a ladies’s study sounds so Great!
Michele,
Thanks so much for your support.

Starting a Bible study is exciting! Praying God shows you exactly what you need and that He draws women in through you!
