We had our first Bible Study at The Annex tonight. This will be my first official study group. I am amazed at the fact that even though the ten women in the circle had never met, as the hour went on and we got to know one another we realized we had incredible things in common. Several of us are involved in long distance relationships, have mutual friends, lived in various places, and studied various things. The most astonishing fact of all though is how similar our testimonies are. Sure, we had girls who grew up Christian and girls (like me) who are relatively new, but our commonality lies in the fact that we all have a desire to grow closer to God through reading His word. It was encouraging to know Sam and I are not alone in feeling this passion for the Bible and I hope that this bible study will draw the women I met tonight together in ways only He knows as of yet. I don't know your plans, Father, but I'm willing to ride the wave with this one.

PS I saw a trailer for this movie a while ago and I've decided to read the book it was based on sometime in the near future, if any of you would like to read it with me. It seemed a nice parallel to the journey we all go on in life, and also affords me another outlet for my wanderlust that doesn't include a $2100 plane ticket somewhere. :)
