The women's scripture study share group, now known as Sisters in Faith has been meeting since the Fall of 2005. We have gone from the Gospel of Matthew, to the Characters of the Old Testament, to Lenten Sunday readings, and finally to the book of Revelations. What a wonderful time of sharing this has been. We have truly walked with one another through the trials and celebrations of life. As we begin to study the book of Revelations, I wanted to share with you some of the revelations our group has discovered. Though we are all different, we are all seeking the same God, and discovering the same faith. We all struggle and triumph at different times and sharing somehow makes it better and more bearable. We don't know everything but we all know something. We all want to be better people, less hurtful, more faithful, more loving, more trusting...its hard! Some of us don't like questions. Most of us don't have answers.
We have learned about Abraham, Samuel, and lots about Christ, about Hannah and Elijah...people of faith just like us on a journey to discover their God. We are all called to be in relationship with each other and with God. I know where I'll be on Thursday night. I've got a divine appointment. I'm bringing my Bible - a friend I am slowly getting to know better and better, my journal (where I can see how I've grown, and record my thoughts), and a mind that is seeking.
