TTC After a Loss

***Bible Study Check-In***

This is an open check-in for any ALers interested in a weekly Bible study and daily check-ins. If you're new, just hop in and let me know if you'd like to be paired up with a prayer partner. I'll get you one as soon as I can.

Good morning, ladies. I hope your Friday flies by and that you have a restful weekend.

This week we are studying Colossians 3 & 4. Chapter 4 is short, so I thought we could combine the last 2 chapters. We will have a live-chat discussion Monday at 8:30 CST. 

Prayer Partners
ChloBub & HopingforChange
VikingQueen & Dillngr9
Maddielynn321 & Smash2009
EKGibs & minicheezburg
kklamb10 & Bethelgal42
Smootiepie & blessedhope
Let me know if you don't have a prayer partner and would like one.

Prayer Concerns: This can be a place you list how your prayer partner can pray for you, or you can give her a heads-up that she has a PM!

VOTD: And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. - Colossians 3:15
Feel free to respond to this verse.

QOTD: How is your reading of chapters 3 and 4 going? Anything sticking out to you?

Re: ***Bible Study Check-In***

  • Prayer Concerns: HfC, I continue to think about and pray for you. ((((((HUGS))))))

    VOTD: And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. - Colossians 3:15

    I love that. I need the peace of Christ to RULE in my heart, instead of letting other things rule in my heart, like worry or sadness.

    QOTD: How is your reading of chapters 3 and 4 going? Anything sticking out to you?

    I spent a good chunk of time reading and studying verses 1-17 yesterday. I look forward to digging into the rest this weekend. Can't wait for our chat Monday night!

  • Chlobub, I would really like to be a part of this!

    I would like to be matched with a prayer partner if anyone wants to be prayer partners with me!

    Colossians 3:15 - I was excited to see you were doing Colossians. It is one of my favorite books! I need to allow the peace of God to rule in my heart. So often I have let anger and bitterness rule. I think this verse has showed me a new prayer to pray. "Dear Jesus, The Prince of Peace, I ask that the peace that comes from You and Your promises will rule in my heart. I surrender to you the bitterness that I have let rule my heart and ask Your peace to rule."

    QOTD: I actually quickly read through both chapters but I need to go back and read them over slowly so I can take it in better. Verse 1 and  2 of chapter 3 was a good reminder to "seek those things which are above."

    Thankyou, thankyou for doing this! Have a blessed day everyone!

  • Prayer Concerns: I'm feeling much better today after my breakdown the other night.  DH is going in Monday to start on meds for the low T, so it's nice to feel like we're moving forward again on this whole TTCAL/IF journey.  Also, I had my summer review at work today, and it could not have gone any better!

    VOTD: And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. - Colossians 3:15

    I used to be really good at praying for peace, especially if I was going through something really rough, and I just realized that not once in our entire TTC journey have I prayed for it.  I've prayed for God's plan and God's timing, but for some reason it never crossed my mind to pray that God bless me with peace in his plan.  I know what I'll be doing the next several days!

    QOTD: How is your reading of chapters 3 and 4 going? Anything sticking out to you?

    I've read through it twice so far, and I'm really loving verses 11-17 of chapter 3.  Ironically, I think 15 may be what's sticking with me most (and not just because it's today verse!).

    Bethelgal42 I replied your PM!

    VOTD:  I feel like there is so much in this one verse.  We have peace because of Christ and should let it consume us.  I love that we were called in one body.  What a great reminder that not only did God call us we have a body of believers to share it with.  If we are letting peace rule in our hearts how could we not be thankful?

     

    QOTD: I need to start reading chapter 3 & 4.  The last few days have been crazy (working 12 hours then having  things going on in the evenings).  I've also been struggling to get into the word lately.  I know I need to and the times I do it's great but there is still a part of me that wants to be angry with God and while I have the head knowledge that he has a great plan for me.  My heart is having a hard time getting there.

    Everything you said kklamb is so true. This morning I was thinking how much I needed to get back in the Word. I have not been reading my Bible and I feel it because I am so much more vulnerable to the doubt and guilty feelings that come with loss. Thankyou for being so honest. I think this Bible study is really great! Just what I needed right now.

    You are so right about asking for peace. It has been something I have forgotten to ask for too. Thanks for reminding me to ask God for peace during this time of waiting and grief.

  • I just got home from work and now off to the park with DH, but I wanted to stop by and say I will be back tonight to respond to the QOTD.  Also, Chlo, thank you for the prayers.  I have been feeling them.  Your brother and his fiancee, and your whole family, are on my mind and in my heart.

    Absolutely. I love that thought.

    Prayer Concerns:  VQ, praying for you this morning and hoping you have a great day!  My cousin is getting married tonight, so prayers for safe travels for our out of town family, and the wedding to go off wonderfully.  They are the cutest couple, I am so happy to see them take this step together!

    Have a great weekend at the wedding. You know that I know how good it is to be able to say that you're happy to see them take this step together. Have fun!

    I definitely need the peace of Christ.  I feel so anxious some days.  This is a great reminder.

    I've been feeling more anxious lately too. I'm glad this verse stuck out today.

    Yay! Glad you're joining us. I've paired you with Smootiepie for a prayer partner this week. And I love your prayer for peace, too.

    Hi ChloBub!  Sorry I have been absent on some of the check-ins, but I would like to participate. I wish I could do the chat but that's during my IRL bible study! Stick out tongue

    Prayer Concerns:  For all of the families who have lost their homes due to the fires in CO and for our country as we continue to struggle with religious freedoms.

    VOTD: And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. - Colossians 3:15  - A great reminder to live a life of peace and thanksgiving...I need to be reminded daily!

    QOTD: I haven't read the chapters yet but I will see if I can remember to this weekend. 

    Good to see you (and your crazy chart!) here again, Erin! Pop in whenever you want to. I will definitely continue to pray for Colorado.

  • I am SO late--it's two minutes from tomorrow!

    Prayer Concerns:  For my loss and continued coping, obviously.

    VOTD: And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. - Colossians 3:15  Being thankful during loss is really hard, but God has blessed me with so much, including His peace (which we can experience through him and through other Christians.

    QOTD: I haven't read yet!  ::blushes::
