God wants the combination of his steady, constant calling and warm, personal counsel in Scripture to come to characterize us, keeping us alert for whatever he will do next. May our dependably steady and warmly personal God develop [...]

by Dedra on August 4, 2011

deeper still recap… part Beth Moore

by Dedra on December 17, 2010

Disclaimer:  There has never been a teacher that has touched my heart or made me dig deeper in His Word other than Beth Moore. She makes me laugh, cry, ask questions, imagine and desire His Word more every day. I’m not a Beth Moore groupie as so many stereotype. I’m a woman hungry for other [...]

by Dedra on December 6, 2010

My notes and full recap will be forthcoming, but just wanted you to know a few things. Outside of being face to face with Jesus, there is no place I would rather be than with my family studying God’s Word. I’m grateful to be a part of the Sisterhood of the Empty Quiver. Finding treasure [...]
