state of being in danger. An antonym that we discussed was 
confidence.

Key Question:
What are you insecure about?

Hello CWC,

Monday night's meeting was awesome. For those who were there 
Thanks for coming out, and for those who couldn't make it 
here's what you missed. Heather Francisco was the speaker. 
The following are part 1 of Heather's notes from the great 
time we all shared in fellowship, learning God's word. I 
will email part 2 of Heather's notes as soon as they are 
posted...

Tonya L. Gregg
Secretary

Hey Ladies! Most of you came this past Monday night. (if u 
didn't I would love for u to read over the notes as well) In 
case u didn't come, what it is, is the CWC (Collegiate Women 
for Christ) meet every Monday night at 8:00pm in the east 
Thompson area, but this past Monday was a special night down 
in the basement of Wofford...we talked about all kinds of 
things that women experience. 

We talked about a relationship with God, True Love, True 
Beauty, and Purity, but we ran out of time and did not get 
to talk about Marriage and Sex....this discussion will be 
continued soon and either Tonya Gregg, Lenesha Goldsmith, or 
me will let cha know :)

Just in case you didn't get all the notes, I am sending them 
to you. :) Here they are! :)

The key verse, which I 4got to point out first of all Monday 
was Matthew 6:33, "But seek first His Kingdom and His 
Righteousness and all these things will be given to you as 
well."

This verse is the key to everything we discussed and will 
discuss....Have God your #1 priority and the center of your 
life and it will be amazing what He will do in your life!

Then I first asked everyone the questions:
1. What is it that defines who you are?
        .....such as a man, school, parents, church, an 
organization you're in, your job?
AND
2. Who/What are you serving? What is your focus in life?
      .........a man?, your parents/guardians?, people?, 
school?



A Relationship with God: What it means and How to have a real 
with Him: and True Love:


Romans 10:1-15 as compared to Matthew 7:21.....the key to a 
real with God is not a one time prayer or even asking him to 
save u everyday, its not saying "Lord Lord..." its truly 
meaning it with all your heart, soul and mind....not for 
selfish reasons....if u truly believe that you are a 
Christian...is there a change?

2 Cor. 5:17 "You are a new creation...the old has gone and 
the new has come...." 

Is there a change? Did ppl who used to know u see a true 
change in you....for example...if b4 u became a Christian u 
were partying it up and going clubbing every chance u got, 
then u realized u were serving yourself and not God, and u 
knew u needed a Savior....as u developed or are developing a 
relationship with Him, there should be a change that is def 
evident to u and evident to others....u shouldn't be partying 
it up anymore....not that it is the law, like the Pharisees 
see it as, but that when u truly are born again the Holy 
Spirit dwells within u....your desires naturally become 
God's desires for u....u change!, u start to see life and 
everything in a whole new perspective......Ask yourself 
this.....examine yourself, your heart, your attitude, your 
way of thinking, of living....is Christ the center of your 
life?....truly?

I have to get going now....but I will continue this, there is 
lots more.....I will continue it ASAP! :) 

I love ya'll! :)


       Trusting Him,
          Heather Francisco

TIME WITH CHRIST-
God continually blesses us. Krystal and Lenesha have both 
been blessed this week.


LESSON-"Daily Bible Study"
I. The Importance of Bible Study
  1. God speaks to us through the Bible. His Word gives us 
daily guidance.
  2. The Holy Spirit within us helps us. It is a helper and 
a comforter. The Holy Spirit brings scriptures to our memory 
when we are going through hard times. The devil tempts us 
and knows how to make us mad-these scriptures help us to 
overcome temptation. 
  3. Bible Study helps us to grow closer to God. It enables 
us to see how God is working through our lives. God is love. 
God teaches us what love is and how to love others through 
the Bible. All scriptures are "God-breathed"-The Word 
breathes life in us.
  4. Bible Study renews our minds. Romans 12:2 says, "And be 
not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the 
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, 
and acceptable, and perfect, will of God". 
  5. Bible Study cleanses our hearts. How do we keep a good 
heart? The Word of God goes deep into our hearts and 
cleanses it (Hebrews 4:12). Other Scriptures-Psalms 7:9, 
Matthew 6:21, Proverbs 4:20-23.

REMEMBER TO PUT GOD FIRST IN ALL THAT YOU DO AND ALL OTHER 
THINGS WILL BE ADDED UNTO YOU!!
Have a blessed weekend!
