This week our bible study group started a new study. We are using a study written by Lisa Harper called Holding out for a Hero: A New Spin on the Book of Hebrews. Participants will learn how to trust God in tough times, hold onto hope when life is hard, and the importance of running toward God when you feel like running away. As I prepared to teach the study, I explored background information supplied by the author as well as a few sources. Hebrews was written especially for discouraged believers.

WRITING UPDATE: It’s the second week of the new year and so far so good I’m sticking with my goals for writing on a regular basis. I took a bit of a break from my fiction WIP on Sunday to put together my notes and organize an outline for the bible study. My scribbling is starting to make more sense now.
Today I wrote a Taste and See devotion on CookieAisle.com. I hope to regular post devotions each week. That was the plan over a year ago when I first started the blog. Nothing wrong with trying again.
Ten more chapters to go on the fiction WIP and I will have my first complete manuscript. I still can’t believe I reached over the 50,000 word count finally.

Let’s read about the actions of one woman, tired and weary of what seemed to be the impossible.
