Tuesday Nights

When moving back to California, James and I discussed that one of our top priorities was finding a church to call home.  James dad, Phil, had introduced us to Saddleback church and after several visits we knew this church fit us well.  Quickly we went through the membership classes and each found a ministry to volunteer in.  One major component was missing - a small group or a Bible study group.  We contacted a few small groups but never found one where we felt comfortable.

In serving through the children's family, I have met one of the most amazing families.  I took care of their eldest son and now their middle child is in our two year-old class.  Recently the mom, Tiffany, asked if I would like to participate in a women's group study on So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore.  Though I had some major reservations, I thought this was my "chance".  Two weeks in and I look forward to my Tuesday's more than ever!  Even more exciting is that she and her hubby are starting a new couple's series and invited James and I to be a part.  The 12 week series starts in the near future and will wrap up just about the time that Baby Bettencourt makes his/her arrival.

I'm ecstatic!  Nothing like having a group of individual's to support you and make you accountable to the morals and beliefs that we should be holding ourselves to.

I'll write more about the women's book study we're working on.  Just not quite yet.  Needless to say I'm incredibly thankful for Tiffany asking me to participate and opening my mind and heart to new experiences.  Thank you Tiffany!
