thrilled

i am so excited. i have the privilege to take part in the daniel bible study with my imperial friends. we have 40 women from here in 3 small groups. it is so awesome!

i guess i didn't have enough faith to begin with, we only ordered 15 workbooks. then after the first official sign-up at church we ordered 10 more. a few days later we grew & added another small group, so we ordered 10 more. after the first meetings, we had newcomers & are awaiting our 4th shipment of books!
what have i learned?

order MORE books the first time! i should have known that God would use this study in a huge way in our little town. when i had the opportunity to do this study last winter in kearney with my sonrise friends, it really impacted me. it's no surprise that God wants to use it to impact other women as well.

the best part? we have nearly every church in town represented in our 3 groups. it is so exciting to think about all of us coming together even though we may worship in different buildings on sunday mornings.
