Next Meeting

Hey girls! Just a reminder that our next meeting is this Wednesday, June 24th at 6 pm. Shoot me an email or leave a comment to let me know if you're coming. That way we'll know how many to plan for (for snacks!). See you soon.

Good News!

In case you guys didn't see it on Facebook, Brady got saved at VBS last week! He joined the church this past Sunday and he's going to be baptized next Sunday. Keep him in your prayers!

First Meeting Thoughts?

Sorry I haven't posted this blog yet, ladies. Obviously, I suck. HAHA. But really.

I just wanted to mention to all of you who were there the first night what a blessing it was to discuss this first week with you. I think the first night went very well, and I know with time we will get into a routine so that things move even smoother. All of you brought a different insight/perspective to the book, and I SO enjoyed hearing your thoughts and viewpoints. 

I thought I would take this time to see if any of you had any suggestions for the next meeting, which will be June 24th. Do you have any thoughts to make it even better? Also, what comments do you have about our first night? Did you enjoy it as much as I did?

 I thought we could post our thoughts/feelings here too, so that the ones who couldn't make it could get filled in on our take from the first chapter. So feel free to add a post and publish your insight from the first week of study here (do you think this is a good idea?). 

Our next meeting is going to grow by at least 5 ladies, PRAISE GOD! I know He keeps opening the door for more ladies to join us in their search for Him, and I pray that He is giving you all opportunities to share about our study with ladies in your path. Any prospects? 

I will be adding our individual prayer requests to the side bar of our blog soon. If you have any additional ones to add, just let me know. Also, please remain in prayer for our group. Satan will work very hard to dismantle us and prevent us from attending. Be aware of his schemes and battle against him! He is always fearful of a woman trying to get closer to God...because he knows how powerful she can be!

Love you all,

Mandy :-)

Forgot

I totally forgot that we have to work over until 5:30 Tues.- Thurs. this week so we don't have to come Mon. I will try my best to make it but I may be late. I want to come so bad. I need it and I have truly enjoyed the reading.

Status of book/workbook orders????

So....I'm getting concerned. I ordered my book and workbook. Haven't got either one of them yet????? How about everyone else?????

Thanks, I am glad to know the chapters aren't too long! hahaha!!!

Book Selection

We picked a book! The one we decided to go with is called "The Frazzled Female" by Cindi Wood. It also has a workbook that goes with it, to help us keep up with the study! We found some of the books used on Amazon for .50 cents if you'd like to get a used book, but I feel like everyone would want a new workbook. The workbooks are around $15 each. So everyone should be able to get out for around $15-$20. Click here to view the used books for sale on Amazon. You will have to create an Amazon account if you don't already have one. And to purchase the workbook you can click here. When you get to that link, a video is going to automatically start playing...so if you're at work, turn your speakers down! If you scroll down the page below the video box you'll see the red 'add to cart' button. Just click there to purchase the workbook. To participate in the study, you don't necessarily HAVE to have the first book (but it is the one you can find for around a dollar), but you will definitely want the second one. It is the workbook and where we will get most of the questions we'll ask and discuss.

We have decided to meet on the 4th Wednesday of every month in Rainbow City. I know several of you will be driving from Boaz, so I encourage you to carpool! The address of the place is:

204 West Grand Avenue

Rainbow City, AL 3906

It is a Cotton States office, and the name on the sign is Marsha Gaskin Agency. She has graciously offered to let us use her office to meet. Also, someone mentioned the idea of us bringing finger foods to each meeting just to have some snacks while we sit and talk. You all can let me know if you'd like to do that. There is a full kitchen there with a refrigerator, so we would have everything we need. 

If you'd like to read about the author of the series we decided to go with, you can go here to learn more about her and the Frazzled Female series. I think we are going to really enjoy this book and most of us will find it very applicable to our crazy hectic lives!

So, get your books ordered ASAP! Our next meeting will be May 27th and we decided to meet at 5:45-6 to get started. The workbook will be dictating the pace of the study and to complete the first workbook session, we will need to read chapters 1-5 in the book (Bridgette, I looked...the chapters are REALLY short, LOL!). So, let's plan on reading chapters 1-5 in the book and having the FIRST section in the workbook completed for the May 27th meeting.

I can not wait to get started on this new journey with all of you! It is going to be a fun, spirit-awakening, female-fellowshipping, get-to-know-God-better time! 

Looking forward to April 27th.

Mandy :-D

PS: Feel free to publish posts to the blog. I added all of you as authors (if I had your email address), and if I didn't I will be more than happy to add you. I just need your email address to do it. If you didn't receive an email stating you have been added as an author, shoot me an email to: mrsfrantz@gmail.com. I would love for everyone to post!
