I had a great time this afternoon attending a Bible study with these girls. The girls are taking turns leading the study. This week one of the girls said she wanted to study the book of Job! During her introduction, one of the young women said - "Job, huh? I never read that book 'cause I thought it was supposed to help you get a job! ! ! ! " Vanessa (bottom left) began the study telling the story of Job and then we read the last chapter and each gave our thoughts. It was fascinating to hear their thoughts on why God allowed all that happened to Job and then to listen to their comments about bad things in their life. I was taken back at how many of the conversations led to a comment about AIDS. This disease is an everyday word to them - a reality that each one of them lives with either in their immediate family or a close friend. I am so encouraged that they are reading the Bible, searching and asking questions. With all that they face - God is the only One Who can tackle their challenges!
I enjoyed delivering gift bags to the girls from my friend Dianne Lombardo - the gift bags had notebooks, pens, lip gloss, candy and hair ties. The girls loved them and were SO appreciative!
