Sweeter Than Chocolate - Week Four!

Hi Girls! Well, here we are already, on Week Four!  This will be a FULL week for you and I know that whether you are going solo, or whether you are gathering with your group, you will have more than enough to do.

Know that I am daily praying for each one of you, well aware that the enemy would like nothing more than to keep us from going deeper with God through His Word; whether it be through distraction, discouragement or just plain weariness. I am walking this with you and know that we need to simply tell it all to God and ask for His refreshing and His sweet leading as we walk through this week TOGETHER.

In addition to your Workbook Homework discussion, your interactives for this week are:

1. Read through the Introduction to Week Four from your STC Workbook at the beginning of your time together, to refresh and review the thrust of this week's study.

2. Read aloud all four stanza's KAPH, AMEDH, MEM, NUN before beginning study discussion.

3. During your time together (or on your own) mark every reference and synonym to:
- the arrogant, the wicked (mark them the same)
- false, evil way (mark them the same)
- every time phrase reference
- terms of conclusion
ex: v. 100
v. 104
- faith (ful) (ness)

4. Continue marking every occurrence of 'affliction' and it's synonyms

5. Continue marking 'according to'

6.  Make a list of what you have learned through each of your markings and reflect on how this has deepened your study of these four stanzas.

If you have ANY questions regarding the Interactives for this week, e-mail me at puregrace@telus.net and I will answer just as soon as I can.

Now, away you go, into the week, enjoying your Lord and walking strong with your God!

Love you,

Hi everyone,

With all the encouragement we got from each other last week I am having a great week of learning! Things seem to be settling down now. I hope it is the same for all of you too.

Last week when a few of us were saying good bye in the parking lot we decided it would be really nice to have lunch together next week after our meeting. SO AN INVITATION TO JOIN US FOR LUNCH IS EXTENDED TO ANYONE WHO WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME. You can meet us at Maple Ridge Baptist church at noon and we will go from there. Edna is going to think of a place to go. It wont be a fancy place as the idea is more just to get together and enjoy each other's company. Hope to see you on Thursday.

Hey Edna, how about the Frogstone Grill?

Edna said...

Frogstone sounds good to me, how about everyone else......

DebbieS said...

Sounds good to me. Should we meet there? Hope to hear lots of others who would like to join us.

Edna H said...

hey sisters!!! how about meeting at 12:15-12:30 at the Frogstone Grill on Thursday after our study....

Hi everyone,
A special thank you to Debbie for your telephone message about lunch. You were right; I usually don't check the computer until after our meeting on Thursday. Your consideration and kindness is so appreciated!!! I am still working deligently on lesson 4 but I also am finding that the studying is going better this week and I am even getting into the Digging Deeper sidebars. I have also been reading 1 Samuel and now am starting 2 Samuel. I have been in Genesis and Joshua and plan on reading Jeremiah 18 as well. I am finding that, for me, the Psalm is getting clearer and easier to understand. Vs. 96 was causing me a bit of difficulty understanding what the psalmter was trying to say but then reading all the translations of that verse clarified my thinking. I have really enjoyed this week.
Lunch sounds great to me as well.
I am so looking forward to seeing you on Thursday.

Cathie said...

Jan... for heaven's sake, you are just taking hold of this week in study and running with it! I'm just shaking my head at the wonder of it all. I am praising God with you in all of this!

Looking forward to seeing you girl's on Thursday...

Margaret said...

Yes count me in for lunch!
I have been enjoying the study this week, like you Jan I have been reading Samuel 1&2 the life of David and it has been so great to read it more or less all at once.See you all tomorrow.

Edna said...

what a delightful day it has been... spending it with my sisters in our bible study this morning and enjoying lunch afterward at the Frogstone Grill. Our study started out the same has it has for the last few weeks...THEN surprise.. Cathie appeared (I thought you were just meeting us for lunch)Cat joined us and it was like old times(except missing were Angie and Marnie, Joan too, was unable to join in). The time flew by as once again our study became just a bit clearer (at least for me the light bulb when on the couple of times)And we (I) left feeling much wiser than when I had arrived there this morning. The ""WORD"...JESUS, so obvious, it was like a key...click. So here I go, marking every WORD with Jesus in week 5.
Thank you Cathie.

To Marnie and Angie.... what a surprise to find, waiting for us girls your thoughtful card and delicious goodie bag made up by you with love and care for us. Thank you so much. We miss you and look forward to getting together with you in a few weeks.

So, Jan, Cat, Debbie, Wendy, Margaret, and Joan...see you next week.

Blessings.......

Angie and Marnie...just remember.. you can click on the pictures and make them REALLY BIG, so you can really see the detail in all the wonderful choices we made.

Edna H said...

Cathie....I don't see an little envelope anywhere to click on to send your blog to others. Am I looking in your wrong place??

Cathie said...

Hi Edna! I just added the link to the STC Room (I had it in the other rooms but didn't even think of putting it here!) This will send an email of the posting only (without pictures).

If you want to send the actual blog link then just do as Margaret suggested.

1. Go to the Pure Grace Home page
2. Go to the top and find the little orange 'B' for blog (this is the https window)
3. Take your cursor and hold down the clicker as you glide it across to highlight the entire code
4. Scroll up to EDIT and click; then click on COPY
5. Now you can paste the code into your email

OR

Just send this:
cathie-heartmindstrengthsoul.blogspot.com

that should get them in!

Cathie said...

Edna, I don't know what I was thinking... it must be getting late! Just go to the Pure Grace Home page, click on FILE on your tool bar and in the drop down box click on the SEND E-MAIL LINK - that's it!

Enjoyed our time together today, now I am off to rest my weary self!

Love,
Cathie :o)

Angie said...

I should never have gone to this page at this hour because now I have WAY TOO much to think about. My mind was winding down very nicely and then Edna had to remind me about ENLARGING and away I went. I TOOK THE BAIT! Who had what to eat???
Of course "ALL" of you know because you were there...unfair advantage!
It looks like you had a most wonderful time as I knew you would.
Cathie, you did a great job with capturing the lunch. Thank you for sharing. I feel like I was there..almost!

I am off to bed myself and it is a pretty safe assumption that I will be dreaming ENLARGED and it is also be safe to assume it will have something to do with FOOD!

Angie said...

This is just great...NOW I'M HUNGRY!!!

My word verification is "furping" which is what I will all night long if I eat now!
