Hello Ladies,
I would like to start by saying that I am so sorry to have let each of you down by not finishing the preperation of this study. I am not making any excuses, but feel I should explain myself, so you understand I did not just quit you.
Myself and my family were ill and then a sudden change of events occured that I had no control over. I should have checked back in with you and made you aware, but in all honesty I've been at a loss of words. I did not act like a true farmgirl and I am sorry.
Sending each of you hugs and kisses.
Much love, Ashley

Ashley....I for one understand how life gets in the way of what we have planned for our life. I have survived with my relationship with the Lord and others. Do NOT take a heavy burden on yourself about us when you may have other things that take priority. What is a true farmgirl? I think we are all different and that is what makes us so interesting and unique. Soooo, since I have no problem with you and only hope your life is OK....(is it?)...do you want to continue or do you need to step back? All is well...hopefully for you and your family. Hope that illness is gone. :o)

Thank you, Claudia for your kind words. My family is illness free, but I am still working on some personal issues.
I can not commit to fulfilling my part of this study right now. I am still studying daily, but am at an odd place in life.
Your words really made me feel better. Thanks for being a forgiving and kind person. Sending much love your way.
~Ashley

Hi Ashley, the most important thing is that you and your family are well, and that you continue to study Gods Word at this difficult time in your life. i know you had all good intentions when starting this study and i applaud you for stepping up and doing it. but as we all know things happen in life that we have no control over (only God had complete control). so please give yourself a break and know that we are all praying for you. peace and prayers cheryl

Ashley...and all those of you who have been following this Bible study, I wonder if we can take a hiatus from Ashley's study until she is ready to come back. I prayed about this...and am not sure if there is any support, but I have a Bible study that is quite adaptable to the internet. It is Kay Arthur's "Having a Real Relationship With God." I would be very happy to facilitate it. I've had it for some time and went through it by myself. I liked it. What do you think? Ashley, I would like your opinion primarily...cuz I don't want to step on your toes.

Claudia, I think it is a wonderful idea for you to share another study. I would never feel like you were stepping on my toes. Ashley

Hi Cheryl and Ashley. We have had no other responses, but I will step out in faith and hope that those who are to participate will. I probably will post the study under a new heading under Across the Fence and will do it Wednesday as I get it organized. I hope you enjoy it. I know I need to learn more, so this will be a help for me too!!!
Ashley, I hope you are doing well. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness...my rendition of 2 Corinthians 12:9 ....

Goodness Kristina...no need to apologize. I think we all have wandered around just trying to survive and put out fires in our own life. There are times of trials and other times of peace and beauty. Our remembering that God holds us in the palm of His hand and is always with us, is the important thing. This is not only a place of Bible study, but a place of prayer...so for you Kristina and you Ashley who have noted that there are roadblocks and trials in your lives....Dear Father, You know our beginning and our end, and all those places in between. May you reach down and gather these ladies to your warm breast so they may hear Your beating heart for them. Let them know that regardless of what stands in their path now, You are the Way, and there are ways to get around any difficulty...sometimes it is through it (Rom 8). Let them grow stong in the midst of this adversity and come out as the boys from the fiery furnace...with big smiles and glowing faces. We know that greater are You who are in us that he who is in the world...so with You we can weather all. Bless these ladies and give Cheryl a special blessing and hug as she continues her day. Thank you that You have chosen us. Amen.
