Week Four Highlights - BOTH studies

UNVEILING OUR SPIRITUAL EYES
  • Guiding questions we discussed as a group:
    • How would you describe your current season with the Lord? Ex. Mountain top, Steady as she goes, or Desert
    • When you feel closest to God, what are you doing?
    • How many people actively intercede for you on a consistent basis? Question from book pg. 120
    • Ask your small group to pray for you, in a specific area, for the rest of the study.
    • Spend some time finding a Scripture that goes with your prayer request. Concordances are available.
    • Spend a few minutes in prayer together.
  • Memory Verse Challenge for the week: "I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe." (Eph. 1:18-19)
  • Read Chapters 9-11 in your book.
  • Question of the week? Do you have a friend that KNOWS you? As Beth put it: the good the bad and the ugly?
  • CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK: CHOCOLATE FOR EVERYONE WHO SHARES THIS WEEK ON THE BLOG! :-)

UNVEILING THE POWER OF PRAYER
  • Guiding Questions for the Week:
    • How does realizing, or being reminded that for a wife, sex comes out of affection and for a husband, sex is a pure need? What can i, or should I do with that truth?
    • What does your husband feel is the best way for you to communicate love toward him? If you don't know, you might try and find an answer.
  • Memory Verse Challenge: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things." (Phil 4:8) Tack this onto Phil 4:4-7 from previous weeks.
  • Self Evaluation:
    • Have you seen your attitude toward your husband change in some way?
    • Do you see a difference in your prayer life?
    • Is there a place I need to unveil myself before God?
  • Assignment for Week 5: Okay ladies, we are going to have to pick up the pace. The chapters for this week are 6-9. Answer as many of the reflection questions as you can, but don't feel like you have to do them all.
UNVEILED RETREAT!!
This will be a time for you to really get personal with God and allow Him to show you if there is an area in your life He wants you to unveil. There will be some great worship and awesome Mexican Food prepared by some of the husbands in our church. (Now that is worth the price by itself, right? Not having to cook?)

ANYONE WHO TURNS IN THEIR REGISTRATION WITH PAYMENT BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL GO INTO A SPECIAL DRAWING HELD AT THE RETREAT!!

Don't miss this opportunity! Let's come together for a special time of growing deeper in our faith and closer to one another...nothing beats a good Girl's Night!
