Discipleship

In late fall, I began a Discipleship group with some young ladies from our Farmer Church. There was a desire by one and so I offered it to 7 or 8 young ladies who were in a similar situation with young families. My thought was that keeping it to this younger crowd would allow us learn and grow from one another and our experiences. Four of those ladies were interested and one more has since joined us.

I will admit, and have to them, the first night was eye opening. I struggled with how God was going to use this group when I realized there was not any set aside time for focusing on Jesus and deepening relationships with Him.

Through much prayer I had to share how Jesus is moving and working. I am being challenged every time we meet. Challenged to know Scripture and be able to answer questions, challenged to pray in new areas, Challenged to seek Him for others in all situations, Challenged to be Jesus to these women! They are reading their Bibles now and seeking and asking and questioning and desiring! It is exciting! We are praying with and for one another and we are seeing answers!

I am excited and nervous every time we meet! Excited to see what God has done and will do, nervous as I lead these young women who are searching and have so many questions!

I'll be honest I didn't think, after that first meeting, that I would be challenged. But Jesus is showing me new things from His word every day as I prepare and pray for these women! It's amazing!

I would love for you to pray with me. Pray that Jesus will use me! Pray for these women to desire more of Jesus and desire to be in deeper relationships with Him! I'm so thankful for all He has done and excited to see what He has in store for each one of us!
