My heart is so full right now I have to take a moment to share. And it's not about Romney winning Michigan, although I'm kindof glad about that.

I'm so filled with joy because my girls are back. Our new Bible study began tonight, and I've just been excited all day to see my sisters in Christ. When I started this Bible study this time last year, I had no idea how it was going to turn out. I just knew that God was telling me to open my home to ladies that wanted to know Him more and I agreed to do it. Tonight we had fourteen and I know of at least one more who couldn't be here. It's overwhelming to see them show up each week ready to dig in to the Word. I feel so unbelievably blessed to be a part of this.

I know some of you will read this, and I just hope you know how much I love and you and am thrilled that the Lord has brought us together. I can't wait to see what He teaches us over the next ten weeks. There is nothing that bonds us together more on earth than a common faith and a love for Christ. I'm just so happy that I have the privilege of learning with you.

This time around we are studying the tabernacle. It's a study I've done before, but it has been updated. A lot has changed in my life since the first time around, and I hope that I'm more mature in my faith than I was then. I can still remember the pain I was carrying around at that time from a time of self-imposed separation from God, and the joy I found when I realized that He had never stopped pursuing me, no matter how hard I tried to run from Him. That is what this study is about. And I can't wait to relive it.

When I am focused on those things that are eternal, the things of today seem far less significant. In the entire span of time, who is going to be president for the next four years probably isn't so crucial. And you have my permission to remind me of that if we lose.
