“How Can You Help” on p. 19 really changed my life. I had decided to get off facebook and stop ‘teaching’ others and completely and exclusively focus only on my home and my family. The next day, I read that little paragraph at the bottom of the page and knew God was talking to me.
I’m 39. My son has graduated homeschool and begun college and my husband works second shift, so my evenings are pretty free. I have 3 women that I am mentoring already and I was an administrator on the “Created to be his HELP MEET” facebook group which had become extremely quiet. But I was just ready to give it all up and become a recluse!
After reading this little article, I decided to stay on Facebook and see what would happen. It’s been amazing! The group has grown so fast. We are going through the book as a group. God is adding women who are finding a safe place to seek to be a helpmeet. They are blossoming before my eyes! They are reading and hearing difficult godly advice and REJOICING in it!
Not because of me, and not because of Debi, but because He uses anyone who is willing to be used. I am no more than a glove on the hand of a surgeon. But it is quite an honor to be used and see what He is doing! If you would like to check out the group page, here is the link. It is closed (only members can see posts), so you have to request to be added. I or one of the other administrators will add you. Just be patient, we may not happen to be on at that particular moment.
