Some responses:
It is with sincere delight that I express my gratitude for all who put on the Beth Moore, Loving Well, Bible Study. This was my first Bible Study at Highlands Church, and hopefully will not be my last! I feel in love with Beth Moore when I saw her live five years ago and every study I do with her makes me fall in love with her all over again. She is truly living her purpose.
This study gave me a opportunity to learn how to love even when it is so difficult sometimes, even impossible. We truly need to love others and as Jesus loved us. We will never be able to love others well until we have been loved well. And I am loved well because God loves me!!
This study was different than I had previous experience at other churches. Even though it was bigger, much bigger, it was more inviting. I was able to meet many, many amazing woman that truly have touched my heart with their stories of strength and unconditional love. I was not only truly blessed to have Stefanie Fisher as my small group leader during the study, I know have been able to start a friendship with her. In this crazy city we live in I prayed for someone like Stefanie to come into my life and help guide me.
I can't begin to thank you all!
Much blessings,
Shiloh McKasson
I find myself thinking about what I learned in that study every day when I deal with my relationships. I realize God has put these people in my life for a reason and as long as I'm being insightful it will help me grow in Him. I enjoyed working alongside the team helping out. Until next time!

I really enjoyed the Beth Moore video - but felt like I left wanting more! It was almost too short. I was very blessed by her message. I guess you always want your crowd to leave thirsty for more!!!
It was a great month. Keep up the good work and KUDOS to the summer team!

Besides meeting wonderful ladies of faith in a beautiful, joyful environment, Beth Moore's Loving Well started real thought as I read and memorized scripture in a way I had never encountered before. I learned that blessings can be very painful but the release after self examination was worth it and brought me closer to God. I'm looking forward to more study.
Thank you for the opportunity,
Debbie Neal
MY GOODNESS WAS THIS A STUDY I NEEDED TO HEAR. I AM BLESSED TO FIND OUT THAT I "CANT" LOVE THE TESTY IN MY LIFE WITHOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIORS HELP. I WAS VERY HARD ON MYSELF THINKING THAT I JUST WASNT DOING ALL I COULD TO BE MORE CHRIST LIKE AND BE MORE LOVING TO THIS PERSON. CLEARLY GOD WANTS TO HELP ME WITH ALL OF MY STRUGGLES IF I JUST REACH OUT AND SAY IT TO HIM, EXACTLY THE WAY IM FEELING IT AT THAT MOMENT. HE ALREADY SEE'S WHAT IM HAVING TO DEAL WITH AND IS JUST WAITING FOR ME TO ASK. HOW HE SHOWS ME HIS LOVE AND PATIENCE THROUGH ALL OF MY MISTAKES IS HOW HE IS TRYING TO SHOW ME TO BE WITH MY MR. TESTY. I HAVE LEARNED ALOT AND FEEL SO LOVED BY OUR BEAUTIFUL GOD JESUS CHRIST.

What a delightful experience this past four weeks with Beth Moore's Loving Well Bible Study. The Lord has such a wonderful place for us to come together and spend time learning how to become more aquatinted with our Heavenly Father. Highlands what a special place, where you always feel welcome and loved.
How do you thank the lovely ladies that went over and above to make the evening special? Every little detail to the setting up and tearing it down. Every evening was perfect, The beautiful stick flowers for our leaders someone made them, they were very special, and who cut the strips of colored tissue banners we found our selves waving with sheer joy, whoever you are, we thank you for your love,
The food was amazing, I could spend a lot of time there. The ladies who set the tables cut the cheese made the food. Well, done thank you. The cakes were just too perfect, I even took delight in the way they were cut and served. the rotunda was a roar of happy ladies The lights on the table made the whole evening just magical. What a fantastic job. From the bottom of my heart I thank you.
Then there is Beth, What a blessing she is for the master, when she opens her mouth the Lord uses it to speak to our hearts, she wants us all to love this one we call Savior. I thank the Lord for this precious one.
I am also thankful for our "secret code" no longer do I have to worry about hurting someone's feeling by writing down a name, It is going to be Joy, Testy, Foe and Far... I learned to picture my Lord as a deep well of perfect love, where I can draw from Him His perfect Love. Love that he pours into my imperfect heart and nothing, nothing, nothing can separate me from His love. Only then can I love any one through any thing.
Every night for me was so special, Thank you Heavenly Father for every lady that came and for all those who served you by serving us well.

Good morning girls,
This is in response to your request of points that we found valuable, treasures we gleaned, from the Loving Well Study,
1. The personal invitation, quite like the personal invitation of our Savior to each of His women, encouraging and the love of our Savior going out. 2. The hospitality. So wonderful, A table set for the expression of love to the family. And always a new theme. God is always ready to bring us to the table to glean newness of life in His love and restoration. And the lights twinkling on the last evening. Beautiful! For the women to come and be treated so well, in the midst of a busy day, refreshment. 3. I most especially was encouraged by all the young women who attended. Eager. Wanting to know and apply and love God so to love people. To Love Well. So many young women. The next generation! Awesome to see them standing for the ways of the Lord. We need this and it is so encouraging in these times. I continue to pray the scriptures, many, of the Lords promise into the next generation. We older women have a great responsibilty to love them in the Love of the Savior and like He does, going to the deep Well of Him. Neverending Love 4. The four principles of loving well. This is it. His love is Perfect Love. Nothing Separates me from His love. He pours out His perfect love into this imperfect soul. Accessed, I can love anybody, through anything. Powerful. The Power of the Holy Spirit. God is Alive and Active! Wonderful time with you all, Thank you, In love, with Him
