Blessing via Simulcast..

"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to PUT OFF your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to BE MADE NEW in the attitude of your minds; and to PUT ON the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."
-Ephesians 4:22-24

My bible study girls and my friend, Beccs and myself all attended the Beth Morre simulcast on her new book, "So Long, Insecurity" on Saturday. It was a great time of worship, teaching, fellowship and learning. In total, there were 300,000 women that met together last Saturday for a fresh word from God about our genders' chronic battle with the issue of insecurity. The constant charge is this verse from Ephesians....the call to put off our old self-thoughts, patterns and issues from our former way of life and to put on the hope, truth and security that is found only in Christ.

The bible study will start studying this book soon and I think many women across the world will too. I pray that our Christian culture will see a wave of change in the women that fill up their pews. That women will begin to claim and believe in the security that is theirs in Christ. We are each perfectly and deeply loved by Our sweet Savior. He wants us to live life to the full, not hidden and scared to death because of insecurity. The Proverbs 31 woman was "clothed with strength and dignity". I pray that we will claim our dignity back and not let the enemy keep having victory over us in this area. God is doing something big, as we were able to get a glipse of yesterday, and I am thankful I get to be a part of it!

Here are some pictures of the girls...we met at Starbucks before the simulcast began:

All of us at lunch!

Some of the girls had to take a time-out to call their husbands. They all called them at the same time...how cute?!!!


It was a great day! I loved every bit of it...down to Beth's bump-it.

"May the Lord help you in your time of distress, may the God of Jacob make you secure." -Ps 20:1

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...
