We had our community ladies Bible study again last night, but instead of meeting at the church like usual, everyone came over to our house for dinner!

We had a salad, a pasta bar, garlic bread, and dessert. (Shout out to my sweet hubby for washing all the dishes!!)
We packed 13 of us around our dining room table!
It was such a sweet time of fellowship! We looked at lies women believe about themselves, like…
The lie: I’m not worth anything.
The truth: My value is not determined by what others think of me or what I think of myself. My value is determined by how God views me.
The lie: I need to learn to love myself.
The truth: I already love myself. By faith, I need to receive God’s love for me. I need to deny myself and let God love others through me.
The lie: I can’t help the way I am.
The truth: If I am a child of God, I can choose to obey God. I am responsible for my own choices.
The lie: I have my rights.
The truth: Claiming rights will put me in bondage. Yielding rights will set me free.
The lie: Physical beauty matters more than inner beauty.
The truth: At best, physical beauty is temporal and fleeting. The beauty that matters most to God is that of my inner spirit and character.
The lie: I should not have to live with unfulfilled longings.
The truth:I will always have unfulfilled longings this side of heaven. The deepest longings of my heart cannot be filled by any created person or thing. If I will accept them, unfulfilled longings will increase my longing for God and for heaven.
Starting in May, we are going to begin meeting twice a month instead of just once a month. I love these girls so much and I enjoy getting to learn from them as we study Lies Women Believe together!
Looks like you guys had fun!! Wish I could have made it 🙂
