Check this thread for future updates, notes from TNC or myself, transcripts, and other helpful info.

The study now is scheduled for Fridays at 8:30 PM Central Standard Time. We are currently asking everyone participating to tell us which client they prefer, AIM or YIM. If you have not done so, please drop a PM to myself or TNC and leave this thread clean for other announcements. ^^

I suppose this is as good a place as any to put this. ^_^ If I'm the wrong here, please let me know.

I PMed a list of everyone's name around to the girls who were at the chat on Friday. If I missed you, please PM me and I'll get it to you. I'm sorry if I missed you.

Yes, if you are in the study please PM our dear secretary, Spirit_Wolf, with the preferred name for the transcripts.

Also, speaking of transcripts I apologize to say that there are not any available for this first chat. We couldn't figure out how to save it, although Spirit_Wolf tells me everything is fixed now.

Everyone should begin Day 1 today; I finished mine a while ago and it was awesome! You girls are in for a great treat. I look forward to seeing all of you on Friday. Be sure to check the prayer request thread that LightUpTheDark will be creating soon; this will be where we keep track of all requests. Have a wonderful day, and may God bless you richly as you embark on this study this week. Remember to stand firm!

Since the transcript for Friday's chat wasn't saved, any of you who had prayer requests need to pm them to me so I don't forget anybody when I post the tread.
Thanks Ladies!

Okay ladies, here's the transcript. I'm so sorry it took so long.

I left in most of the small talk. ^_^

I changed everyone's names to their CAA names if I knew them. If I messes someone's up, sorry. I think I got everyone's real names out, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Viewer Guide Answers

Postby true_noir_chloe » Mon Jun 27, 2005 4:56 pm

Hey all, I'm really late in posting this and I'm so sorry I am late; but, I will try and update every week to this list.:)

Starting on page 8 of your "Living Beyond Yourself" workbook is the Introductory Session of the Viewer Guide. These are sections that Beth Moore covers during her own Bible study class which enhances what you've learned for the week. These can only be viewed on the DVD that is sent with this study when it is done in groups, but since we are online we don't have that ability.

However, I think giving you the answers to fill in the blanks for these Viewer Guides will actually help you out in your own study. If you read through the Scriptures she gives and then read the completed answers you'll at least get a little bit of what she had taught. Anyway, I thought you all might appreciate having the blanks filled in - I know Spirit_Wolf will appreciate it. ;) Don't you just hate empty blanks?

Okay, here is up to week 2:

Introductory Session (pg. 8)
in, us; live, beyond, ourselves; Is this relevant; change, life, change, day; purpose, beyond; circumstances, beyond; daily, demands, beyond; Do, couldn't; Feel, didn't; Know, wouldn't; living inside ourselves; [Your name], come out

Session 1 (pg. 30)
Confessions; something, particular, longing; mood; unleashing, directing; impulse, urge, suddenness; active, acceptance; Concerns, spill, forth, drink, offering; risk, emptiness; contrast, drunkenness

Session 2 (pg. 51)
Know, wouldn't; black, white; involved, obvious; Perception, new, thing, perceive, presence, affected; Discernment, positive, negative; Insight, acquaintance, experience, familiarity, reference; meaty, diet; filling, Spirit; together, to, witness; resonance

Session 3 (pg. 72)
environment, relationship; examination, testing, qualifications, put, out, refuse; vacant; out, to, spit; deeper, longer; invite, welcomed; act, behaving; recover, rejected; reject, rejected; sovereignty, supremacy; fails, drop, away, fall

Session 4 (pg. 93)
"rejoice," subjective, feeling, objective, cause; defiant; defies, defy, cause, subjective; bringing, sons; joy, before; Joy, Cometh!; sow, tears, reap, songs; throb, swell, joy

Session 5 (pg. 113)
peace, government; peace, rule; peace, through, through; sinful, nature, peace; peacemaker, peacekeeper; peace, any, cost, false; health, unhealthy, peacekeeping; peacemaker, do, completed, continued; idle, working; lover, contention; False Peace: fear; distrust; Contention: misery, power, lack of discipline

Session 6 (pg. 134)
circumstances, hope; people, mercy; Lord, lost; bearing, another; put, up, with; up, back; complete, lacking; out, worst; thinking, highly; pretenses, working; life, death

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Transcript of week 4, Joy.

Oh, also, I will be gone possibly this upcoming weekend (I will let Chloe know for sure if I will), July 30-August 6 I'll be in Mexico, and the weekend after that (August 12/13/14) I'll be moving to my new dorm. So all those dates are questionable at best. Again, I'll inform Chloe if I have to miss any for sure. ^^;;

Gah! I'm so sorry guys! My computer died for the past week. I'm sorry I missed last Friday, and I'll be getting week five's transcripts up as soon as I can. Again, I'm so sorry.

Here's week five. I'll have this past week's up soon, promise.

Unfortunately, due to some malfunctions in technology we will not be able to provide the transcripts for weeks 9 or 10.

To all of you who were faithful til the end, I applaud your efforts. Even if you weren't 100%, even if you messed up or fell behind, I hope this study has instilled in you a hunger for the presence of God.

My exhortation to you now is this: to leave behind the elementary teachings of Christ and go on to maturity (Hebrews 6:1). I believe each and every one of you has cultivated a habit of early morning devotion, and the last day of week 10 has a great outline for a "day in the life of a victor" to follow. I believe God has equipped all of you to be able to go forth and continue your study in the morning--even without a devotional guide. The God you were seeking is still the same God, and He will reveal Himself to you if you just seek Him. A great place to start is the book of John, although it really doesn't matter what specific book of the Bible you're reading as long as you're spending time in the Lord's presence and continuing your growth. I urge you, sisters, don't let the fire die out! But feed it tender bits of kindling each morning through prayer and study.

I was greatly blessed to have been a part of this study, and I see no reason why we shouldn't make this a regular part of CAA's ministry. Please stay tuned and be listening for the next opportunity to grow together in Him.
