We've had a change of plan regarding the content of our blog! As Danny Jones Says, "Change is here to stay! "
In light of our fantastic discussion on Wednesday night, we're going to use this blog to further discussion on a Book we're going to read together. Now, for Helen, Angie and Sarah, who were not able to come to last Wednesday's homegroup, please know that we extend this invitation to you as well.
God really moved in our meeting on Wednesday and though the humility of a few of the ladies, it was discovered that all of us, to some degree, are in a current struggle with glorifying God in our eating habits. We realize that there are deeper issues of the heart that God is after and we all expressed a desire to pursue God for change in this area. As David Brackin encouraged us.....we need to take the attitude of Samuel and "hack Agag to pieces" as it relates to mortifying sin in our lives.
So, in an effort to do just that, we've decided to read the book by Elyse Fitzpatrick entitled, "Love to Eat, Hate to Eat. Breaking the bondage of destructive eating habits." If you don't have the book you can order it on Amazon for about $8. Used books can be purchased for $4.
On Wednesday night we talked about what would be the most practical way to conduct this study and it was suggested that we form accountability partnerships for the purpose of more in depth questioning and accountability. We also talked about using our "Ladies Night" meetings to talk about how we are progressing.
Everyone was open to having an accountability partner picked for them. (You ladies are brave!! :) ) So we'll let you know who those folks are as soon as we know if Sarah, Angie and Helen would like to participate.
We'll talk more about details regarding the chapters we'll read and at what pace we'll move through the material.
For now, please let me know if you are on board by posting a comment and letting me know what you think. Please also let me know if you have any questions.
Our next Ladies night is planned for September 26th at the Taulbee house.
We can discuss more at that time.
But for now, if you have the book and want to read chapter 1 and 2 by that time, that would be great!!!!
