Hello fellow Bible study bloggers!!!
As I was reading the introduction, I couldn't but help remember the "Jesus Movement" of the 70's that sparked a revival among the younger generation. It was a time of realizing that God was NOT dead and that He was truly interested in me AND also, all those hippie-types that were so prominent in the news.
I remember the long services of praise and worship and the teaching of the Word. I remember the anticipation that I felt when it was time to go to church. "I was glad when they said unto me, 'Let us go into the house of the Lord.'"
I still love the Lord and love to sing His praises and hear the word being taught, but do I have the same longing and anticipation that I had during the 70's? What is standing in my way? What has caught my attention and time?
As you read the introduction, think about the times of revival in your own life. What would you like to see happen (spiritually) in your life today? What is keeping you from your desire?
I know the areas that God has been speaking to me about. Have I responded to His promptings or have I dismissed them? When I finally humble myself to what God is wanting to refine in my life and character, then He will be able to bring revival to my heart and life.
How about you?

The Journey Begins!
Hello ladies,
Are you ready to begin the journey? We are going to be discussing the book "Brokenness" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. Our first segment of discussion will be pages 1-25 (introduction). As you read through this section, please make notes in your margins or on a separate sheet of paper. Your notes can contain questions, comments, and observations that come to mind as you read the passage.
It is hard to be honest with ourselves in regards to spiritual matters. But, if we are willing to allow God to speak to us and change us for the better, the process of getting there will be gentler than if we fight against what God wants to accomplish in our lives.
I look forward to hearing from all of you as we journey together.
