Kappa Bible Study

     Tonight was the first Kappa bible study of the year, something Makena and I have anxiously been awaiting since getting back from Greek Summit. In all honesty we expected maybe 10 girls max to show up tonight and to our answered prayers we had 19! What's even more amazing is that 7 of these girls were new members who just joined Kappa only 3 days ago and we had so many girls wanting to come but couldn't because of class conflicts. My mind is completely blown away by the grace of God's love and how he answers our prayers when we least expect it.
     This year we are going to be studying Marian Jordan's Sex and the City Uncovered. This is the same book that we studied my freshman year which happened to be the first year for Kappa bible study to even exist. It's crazy to think that in just 3 years there has already been a huge change in our house and there are so many girls openly seeking the Lord. 

     Here's a little excerpt from the book if anyone is interested in reading it on their own...

     "This is my story. I went looking for love in all kinds of places, only to find myself more empty and confused as a result. From parties to people, from shopping to men, job promotions and even more parties...hoping something would bring me a sense of security or love. Happy hour eventually is over, the guy inevitably fails to be perfect, and food may fill a stomach but not a soul. My disillusionment eventually led to despair. Life seemed without hope and joy seemed elusive. I was captive to the emptiness."
     "...what caused the emptiness in the first place?"
     "The answer is found in the Bible...In Scripture we are told the story of God and how our problem of "looking for love" first began. The Bible tells us that humanity is created by God and for God. Translation: He is the Designer and Creator of Life, so in order to find out how things got all jacked up in our world, we must go back to the "Designer's manual."

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

 2 Corinthians 5:17

"May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word"

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
