Darcie and Abigail: two encouraging diggers this fall!
Podcast is a week out! Find it here: https://thecolleyhouse.org/live-digging-deep-video-podcast on Tuesday the 24th at 7 CST. Comments so important and welcome! Pisa Soli is co-host and she’s a fantastic student of the Word. I’m overwhelmed by the level of interest in the topic from the Word and the excitement this fall about all things Digging Deep. KEEP INVITING! It’s a very easy catch-up until November!
Dig-a Bits are in the edit process and are coming your way soon on the DD facebook page.
Now, it thrills my innermost being to hear of young ladies who are in the Word. Darcie Smith, in Montgomery, Alabama completed the study last year. She’s 14 and this year she invited a few friends to do it with her. They want a small and intimate little group, so it didn’t take long for another small and intimate group to form in the same church. These girls have it together! One mom each week is present wherever these girls are studying and these moms agree that it’s a great place to pick up insights for their own Digging Deep studies. This is the best ever! One mom said she even wept a little bit because the girls’ study and dedication to the Lord is so very palatable in their study room!
Another mom in this same church has invited a co-worker of her teen daughter’s to do the study with her and she has agreed. The teen, in this case, has just left for college, but her salty (in a good way) influence in the coffee shop is now materializing into a Bible study, It’s phenomenal to see the doors open when we just start speaking His message to the world! It’s also becoming more evident every day to me that each of us has a large or small part to play. We don’t do it alone. But, just like the young barista in the coffee shop got a coworker to the point of Bible study and then her mom took over from there, we all can be evangelists! Some are better inviters. Some are better actually in the Word with people. Some are better organizers, getting those groups together, and some are better at encouraging those who are at home doing the study by themselves. We all play a part!
I got some mail from some women this week who are in remote areas of the country, without physical accessibility to encouragers. Zoom has been their answer and they are growing like weeds. Only they are not weeds. They are the fruit-bearing trees that are planted by the rivers of water and they shall not be moved! I want to share a bit about them next time! Right now, I need to work on the week-ends orders! Remaining back-ordered shirts are going out today!
Stay in the Word. He is so good!
