Week 6 - I am the Resurrection

Hi Ladies!

 Hope you're having a great week in preparation for Easter.  I was just saying last week how when God wants us to see something, He gives it to us in more than one way.  We read the "Jesus Storybook Bible" to Emily every night (one or two stories at a time) and when we finish it we just start it over again and again.  It just so happened that we fell on the Easter story this week which was neat timing.  Apparently Barb had this on her heart as well and shared them with us in the beautiful way that she always does!

 Lisa Cole saw that Amazon currently has the Jesus Storybook Bible on sale in the Kindle store for 1.99!  That is a DEAL, people!  Click Here to go there. (Let's take a minute to give a round of applause to our dear friend Lisa who labors tirelessly to edit and publish Barb's videos- Yay Lisa!)  
Barb took this picture of a Japanese Graveyard.  What a reminder that when Jesus was in that tomb, He was as dead as death could be.  Sometimes it's hard to grasp that part, but how much more miraculous does that make His RESURRECTION?



 Don't forget that we will be taking a week off this upcoming week, the week after Easter.  That means you have an extra "free" week to meditate and memorize. :)

 Please share how things are going.  My friend Phyllis had a lovely story about her devotion last week that she shared with us on Facebook.  Thank you Phyllis!

Week 5 - "I am the Good Shepherd"

Hi Ladies!

 How has M&M been for you this week?  I'll be honest, I let life get the best of me this week and I didn't spend very much time meditating on my verses and even less time memorizing, but listening to Barb's message convicted me and encouraged me.  I want to KNOW Him more, and to know Him I need to spend time with him, not because I need to but because I want to.  He is GOOD.

 Isn't it interesting how when God wants you to see something He puts it in front of you more than once?  Lisa and Barb recommended that we include a link to Fernando Ortega's "Good Shepherd" as it was beautiful and appropriate for this week.  Then, my Mom had heard the same song mentioned by our pastor Clay Werner and recommended we share it with our ladies as well.  Point taken!  Please enjoy this beautiful song in whatever format suits you best:

 * Amazon
* iTunes
* YouTube
* Lyrics

 Barb also refers to a helpful updated "prompter" card in her message this week, so download it by clicking here!

 Without further delay, I will leave you with our quick links for this week's lesson!

It's time to study our next verse:

#5 I AM THE RESURRECTION JOHN 11:25,26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

Week 4 - "I am the Gate"

Hi ladies,

 How is it going this week?  What did this week's verse mean to you?  I really enjoyed listening to Barb's message as I find myself "swithering" a lot lately (listen to the lesson for that definition!).  It's encouraging to know that I have access to the most powerful and loving God I could ever imagine.  This week's lesson is a great reminder of the importance of committing to prayer.  He is the gate.  We can come in and go out and find pasture.  What freedom, what comfort, what a Savior, what a friend!


 This week Barb makes a few references: 



It's time to study our next verse!
#4 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD JOHN 10:14,15“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Now for your quick links... Have a great week!

M&M Week 3: I AM the Light of the World

Hello fellow M&Mers!

How is it going?  We're already in week 3... how is it going for you all?  Please share with us, we'd love to hear from you!

This week Barb talks about our verse, John 8:12 - "When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.' ” I love when Barb says that even on our darkest day, even when we don't "feel like it", we are still light.  God has brought us out of the dominion of darkness and into His wonderful light... Isn't that beautiful?

This week we will study our next verse:

I AM THE GATE JOHN 10:9,10
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Now for your quick links... Have a great week!
