What's in a name?

A Brief Message

You've come to this blog because you have been invited to join our small group, self-directed bible study. Congratulations and welcome! Our bible study selection is Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions by Lysa TerKeurst. Feel free to purchase the book and DVD's so you can follow along. Hopefully, you'll be able to relate to and benefit from this group.

What's in a name?

This Side of Faith. 

What does that mean?  Good question.  To be honest that was the very first phrase that entered my mind when I got the idea to start a blog for the group.  What should I call it?  Nothing corny, of course.  Nothing too short or too long.  How about This Side of Faith?  Lo and behold it was actually available for use...divine intervention!

To me, it means the imperfect side of living my faith on a daily basis.  I'm certainly NOT a perfect example of a woman who lives her faith everyday.  Everyday I struggle to be the best version of myself mind, body and spirit.  It takes work and it takes a village (can I get an Amen?!).  But I'd really like to be better.  Perfect?  Probably never going to happen {insert sound of bubble bursting}, but I'm willing to get as close to perfect as possible.

So, if you are interested in diving into this bible study, sharing your thoughts and encouraging one another along the way, by all means pull up a chair (or a laptop or iPad) and join in the fun!

"Adventure is not outside man; it is within" - David Grayson

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
