The King's Daughter

         I am going to be very honest, I am flawed. I sometimes feel as if I am playing a role as a Christian but not actually living out the will of God for me, as His daughter. Recently I joined a Bible study at my church, Christ City Church of Birmingham, and I have been blessed already! I absolutely LOVE my church and even from the beginning I have seen friendships form and love grow between our church family and the people in our church's community.
         Two weeks ago I was asked to join a Bible study covering the book of Esther. The study is called, "The King's Daughter" by Diana Hagee. I was very excited to join to group, one because I wanted to become more involved with my church but also I really wanted to study the Word of God with my fellow sisters in Christ. Just f.y.i., the small group of ladies I am with are simply amazing. I love them, a lot! 
        As I had more questions upon being asked to join the study I soon realized the study was on Esther. If you know anything on Esther then you know it basically describes her preparation with one night with the King. She spends a year preparing herself in what is called the "bridal chamber" stage. While this Bible study is not a year long nor solely based on physical preparation it does open its reader's eyes to how they view themselves and how God views them as well.
       Two weeks ago our group met for the first time. Our Bible study was very diversified. We all came from different walks of life and I simply loved that. We were all there for the same reason, to study God's word and to simply love one another through fellowship. As we started through the first chapter I heard stories and words of advice from others around me, I was so over-whelmed with honor to even be in the presence of such WONDERFUL women.
      This coming week we will be reviewing chapter two, I am so excited; not only to be rejoined with my Bible study girls but also to be in the presence of those with similar desires as myself, to become closer to God and to realize that we are daughters of the King. The King of Kings, the Lord of Lords.

   Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for Your true love. Thank you for my church family. Thank you for loving me even through my times of disobedience. I pray that your will be done through our church and that all may know You. Amen.
