Side By Side

RefreshHerLeave a comment

Today was a 17-mile bike ride on the Virginia Creeper Trail. We had beautiful weather for the trip and we saw some spectacular sights. We rode our bikes on many overpasses of a stream. The sun sparkled on the water like so many diamonds in a jewelers window. The trees made a tunnel of greenery under which we could ride. It was one of those outings that you don’t soon forget.
The trip was a blessing, but the best part about it was my travelling companion; my husband. When we first started out, he lit out and led our group. Then realizing the slower pace of his wife, he hung back and waited on me so we could travel side by side. As we pedaled along we stopped many times to ooo and ahhh over a waterfall or mountainous view. We were in no hurry. As we rode together it was quiet for the most part, save the occasional biker wanting to pass. It gave us the opportunity to talk. It was sweet conversation between us as we travelled along.
That’s how the Lord intended marriage to be – travelling side by side. Not one way ahead of the other, each trapped in their own little world. It’s so easy to get caught up among the other cyclists that there’s no time to talk; you have to yell to be heard. There’s no opportunity to “lollygag” – you know, do nothing, and enjoy doing it!
I pray that you and your spouse are riding side by side in the journey of marriage and enjoying the ride!

Faithful Friend

RefreshHerLeave a comment

I don’t know what it’s like to have a brother, but I do know what it’s like to have a sister, as well as a twin sister. Sisters share their burdens (and their clothes), understand each other’s hearts, even if their words are just tears, are willing to give the other the benefit of the doubt, and are willing to go out of their way for the other.
When I come to Proverbs 18:24 and read “…there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother” I think about my sisters and the great love we have for one another. Then I realize that Christ would do even more for me. He loves me greater, and understands me better than either one of my sisters. His love is eternal. His presence is constant. His understanding is infinite.
When, in this earthly life, a person is lonely, they only need remember the greatest Friend – better than a brother (or a sister!).

October RefreshHer

On Tuesday, October 14th we will have our second Progressive Mug Supper at church. Here’s how it works: you bring a special mug. There will be prizes for the biggest, prettiest, and most unusual, so hunt out that really special one! We will begin the night by filling our mug with a hot beverage and then we’ll mingle, sip, and look at everyone’s mugs and vote for our favorites.
After washing your mug out, you’ll then choose a soup or chili that’s been brought for your main course. After another wash, you’ll head for dessert – it might be cobbler, or chocolate brownies with ice cream and hot fudge sauce.
After dinner we’ll have a time around God’s Word, then we’ll end the night with some practical advice about Thanksgiving. We’ll hear about creative table decorations, special traditions, and how to plan ahead so you won’t be running crazy the day of Thanksgiving.
You won’t want to miss this fun evening!

Welcome to RefreshHer – the ladies’ ministry of Boones Creek Bible Church. So many things can drain a woman of her zest for living the abundant life: home responsibilities, relationship strains, family duties, and the pull of this world we live in.
It is our desire at BCBC to encourage and uplift those that enter our doors, whether it be in a church service or in an extended ministry. At our RefreshHer meetings we strive to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and encourage women to love and serve the Lord in their homes, workplace and in the world. This is accomplished through the teaching of the Word and in practical instruction and fellowship. Come and be refreshed!
