A HUGE Blessing

Some of my fondest memories from my college years center around a group of girls studying the Bible. Life Groups have been such a huge part of my life since I've been in college. I've been a part of one and have been fortunate to lead 3.



My freshman year would have looked very different if I had not been involved in this group. This was perhaps the most diverse group I have ever been a part of, but I learned a lot from each girl in this Bible study. I developed friendships that, although I do not hang out with these girls on a regular basis, are still dear to me today. I learned a lot about who I was through this group.


This was the first Bible study I ever led. I'm so thankful these girls stuck with me! I've had some great friendships that came as a result of this Bible study. This is us dressed up as "mathletes" for Halloween.
All of my Bible studies have a special place in my heart, no doubt, but this group was so different. These girls are so much fun, and I really learned how to start letting loose and how to be myself through this group.
This is my Bible study this past year. I was so blessed to lead with Fernanda...she's a gem, and I don't say that flippantly. She's become one of my best friends. This group is amazing. This was the first year I led an upperclassmen life group, and there's something special about that. I had been praying a lot about friendships with girls, and the Lord answered that prayer through this group.
