There are things that spread just as quickly as runny honey on a piece of toast.
One of those things is joy.
Joy can spread like wildflowers if given the right environment to do so.
And what is the right environment, you might ask?
The best place to grow joy, and then spread that joy, is a place filled with hope. Lots and lots of hope! And you will find that right here, at Proverbs 31 Ministries’ Online Bible Study Blog page.
We are a community of women who are seeking real hope for real life. We want to know more about the God who allows the deeper things to change us. The God who brings us beautiful things like babies, and yet can allow hard things like infertility.
We don’t shy away from hard things in this community. And, encouragement runs rampant.
Doesn’t that sound like a place you can take a deep breath and feel safe in?
Each week, we gather together to discuss a book, yes. But, we also do life together. We rejoice with one another when God provides victory, or relief, or healing. We mourn with each other in the midst of tragedy or upheaval of families. And, maybe most importantly, we pray for each other in times of crisis and questioning.
Sharing life’s happier moments right alongside life’s more tragic episodes might seem odd. But, isn’t that the way life is? All The Easy mixed in with The Hard and shaken all up and poured out, every which way?
Shouldering burdens alongside one another makes hard times more bearable. And, certainly, experiencing others’ joy alongside them makes it seem as if it’s multiplied!
That joy quickly becomes community wide.
Especially in this one!
I hope you’ll consider joining in with this amazing group of people just seeking to find The Hope.
You will seek Him and you will find Him.
I promise.
HE promises!
Yes indeedy.
