Hello there, P31 OBS friends! My name is Stacy Lowe and I’ll be here with you on the blog this week and next.

If we were meeting face-to-face, this is the point where I would look you in the eye and ask how you’re doing — how you’re REALLY doing.

While we may not physically be together in the same room, I think the question still applies. The things we’re discussing here can bring to the surface difficult thoughts and situations you may have tried to push aside and ignore. I know facing these feelings head-on can be intimidating and perhaps even a little scary.

I have great news, though! We serve a God who is madly in love with you (yes, even YOU!), and He is there, ready to come alongside you, walk through this with you, and offer a healing that can only come through Him.

It may not be easy, but I’d say it’s a journey worth sticking with!

Your Study Resources & Memory Verse:

Speaking of journeys, they say a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. But when it comes to moving forward, what if you don’t even know how to get started or which direction to turn? Melissa Taylor sits down with author Wendy Blight to talk through this very issue in our Week 3 video. Let’s watch!

Need instructions for accessing closed captioning or the video transcript? We’ve got you covered!

As you plan out your week, be sure to take a look at our Week at a Glance. This will give you the inside scoop on all things P31 OBS, including information on this week’s giveaway and another verse memorization tip, which you won’t want to miss!

We’ll also have another Bible Study Companion for you. This is your opportunity to dig even deeper into God’s Word through guided activity. It will come straight to your inbox AND be on the blog Wednesday.

And last, but most CERTAINLY not least, is this week’s memory verse:

“Faith is being sure of what we hope for. It is being certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1 (NIRV)

Buckle up, and get ready, friends! It’s going to be a great week!
Stacy
