The Thorngirls was started when our small group which meets at the mall in Muskogee was studying "Brave" by Angela Thomas. It talked about how all of us have thorns in our lives, things that hurt, things that bring us pain, things that remain that we can't remove. Sometimes it's other's thorns that we have to live with that are also painful to us. The important thing is what the thorn produces, if we let it. It produces humility, surrender and desperation for God. When God looks at Thorngirls, He sees a beautiful rose. It brings Him glory. It draws others to Him. We thought the name was fitting for our group so it stuck. They are just that. Beautiful Thorngirls to me. They have been blessings through their pain.
Since we are reading through the Bible, but our small group doesn't meet in the summer, we decided a blog would be a good idea. So I will post the reading assignments for the week and you can post comments, questions, funny things you thought of (which we always do in small group), problems, prayer requests, anything you want to post is okay. It will be seen by whoever looks at the blog so if it's personal, send it to me through fb or message me. Hope we can all stay in contact through the summer that way and take up where we left off in August when small group starts up again.
I am excited to keep talking with you all all through the summer and anyone else who wants to join us in our blog!!!! Love, love, love to you all!!! Diana
