To conclude our year together, I asked each of the girls to write a testimony of something God had taught them during the year of Bright Lights. Then, we gathered back together & various girls took turns sharing their testimonies. It was a sweet time of rejoicing in what the Lord has done this year. There were several times of laughter but also several tears hanging in the corners of eyes as young ladies shared the stories of God working in their hearts.<br />
<br />
Below are a few of the written testimonies girls shared with me:<br />
<br />
"After the lesson on giving your heart to your father, I've found out the impact gratefulness can have. I've found it easier to express thankfulness for things my parents do for me. I've also noticed more of the many, many things they do for me on a daily basis."<br />
<br />
"This year in Bright Lights, I was probably most affected by the lesson on encouraging your brothers and sisters. It helped me to realize that just having a 'better than average' relationship with my siblings wasn't good enough, and that I needed to be much more intentional about my words and actions. As the oldest, I have an amazing opportunity to impact their lives on a daily basis, and I had no idea how much simple little acts of kindness and encouragement could really brighten up their day. This is definitely something that I'm still working on, but I think that now I can say that I am making a conscious effort to show my love for them everyday instead of just assuming that they know how I feel. Me being more open with my emotions has really made a difference in how we can relate to one another and it has definitely improved our relationship."<br />
<br />
"One of the biggest lessons I have learned from Bright Lights this year is diligence. This year has been very challenging for me. I have learned how to balance going to a really difficult school, working, and being a small group co-leader. I've had to learn perseverance and a lot of diligence. While I most definitely don't think I'm perfect, God has used this year to grow me and strengthen me in this area."<br />
<br />
"Diligence has been something that I have been learning to have. I knew that I needed to be more diligent with my time and how I use it. I have really been trying to apply this to my life after Allison spoke about it a few weeks ago. I just saw how I was not really giving enough time to the Lord and that I need to spend more time in His word, especially with some difficulties going on in my life lately. This lesson really spoke to me and showed me that I needed to change things."<br />
<br />
"One very important thing that I learned was how sinful we are compared to God. Allison talked about this during a lesson and demonstrated it by holding up a gray sheet of paper next to a black sheet of paper. Next to black, the gray sheet looked white. However, when she showed us the gray sheet of paper next to a white sheet of paper, the gray definitely looked gray.<br />
<br />
A lot of times, to make myself feel better, I compare myself next to the world. I say, 'I'm so much better than them; I don't steal, cheat or do very bad things and I read my Bible and pray and I try to actually do better. But I have to remind myself that I shouldn't compare myself to the world, instead, I should compare myself to God. After all, by God's standards, I'm as black as could be - I can't do anything to change that. I'm powerless. I really have to rely on Jesus to wash me clean of sin. Allison's demonstration really helps me to do that, because it stuck in my mind."<br />
<br />
"The Lord has taught me so many things that it's hard to decide which one. I believe that the Lord has taught me to realize that I am never, ever alone. The Lord loves me as I am. I am just a little speck in this big universe. He could have chosen to ignore me as a wicked, sinful person. Instead, He had His Son Jesus die for my sins. God gave me the Bible full of sweet promises and commands. To me, the Bible is a letter He has written to help me onto the path of life."<br />
<br />
"One topic in particular that stood out to me was delighting in God's Word. I was really struggling with doing my daily devotions and this topic really helped me. One thing that stood out to me in the pamphlet was looking for Jesus in every passage. So, I started highlighting one of God's names every time I came across it. That really helped me to focus on what I was reading. I am surprised at how many of God's names are in one page! Additionally, I have really enjoyed being able to fellowship with other girls this past year during Bright Lights."Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16747561262837334771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215374702916787545.post-22205182145059295442013-04-25T12:50:00.001-07:002013-04-25T12:50:37.288-07:00Group HappeningsIt's been a while since I've posted anything on the blog.

Unfortunately, we were so busy enjoying our time with the Lord & each other that we forgot to take very many pictures! However, I've asked the girls to share a few testimonies about what God did or taught them through the retreat.<br />
<br />
"I had such a blast at the Bright Lights retreat! Not only did it give me
the opportunity to dig deeper into the relationship I have with my Lord and
Savior but also with the girls around me. It was such an encouragement to
spend time with other believers and learn that I'm not the only one who struggles with spending as much time with God as I should. I was challenged as we spent time learning new
ways to spend time with God." - 17 year old<br />

"I was so encouraged by the videos, encouragement groups and prayer time. I loved spending time getting to know the other girls, just knowing that we are all struggling and that we can all help each other is cool. I loved being able to spend a whole weekend in prayer and talking with or about the Lord, and also finding new ways to have a deeper relationship with Him. I was really convicted by the fact that I need to surrender my entire life to Him and let Him write my story. Also, that I need to be spending more scheduled times in prayer. I really appreciated all the times we spent in prayer in our encouragement groups. It was really cool to share different thoughts, stories, verses and struggles. I know the Lord was working in each of us, and I'm so thankful for this opportunity." - 15 year old<br />

"I had one of the most amazing times at the Deeper Retreat. At first, I didn't want to go because I didn't feel 'good enough.' However, I grew so much closer to the girls and realized they struggle with the same problems I do (even Allison! Shocking, I know! ;), which means we can pray all the more sincerely for each other. The Holy Spirit convicted me of many things - like how I wasn't surrendering my whole life to Jesus - and the retreat pushed me to answer those questions which sit in the back of your mind that you don't want to deal with. After the retreat, I felt so refreshed, encouraged and close to my Lord." - 16 year old<br />

holidays. What a joy it was to see everyone again & get started for
the semester! We began our new set of lessons with the topic of
"Preparing to be a Wife & Mother."<br />
<br />
I shared the vision for our God-given role as women and the exciting
potential we have to impact many for the kingdom of God when we choose
to embrace the jobs God has chosen for us. We also talked about the
importance of beginning to prepare for these jobs now while we're young
so that by the time God brings along our husband & family we will be
able to serve well.<br />
<br />
During the lesson, I had the girls throw out various skills that
would be important as a wife & mother. Then, I had them share
important character traits for a wife & mother to possess while I
recorded them onto the dry erase board.<br />

After making our lists, we used them to discuss how many areas we
have to grow in as we prepare. We should have not problem keeping busy
between now & then! ;)<br />
<br />
At the end of the lesson, I
encouraged the girls to be aware of the independent mindset that the
world promotes for us as young women. I encouraged to truly seek the
Lord about their future & pursue His heart for their seasons of
preparation between now and the day they are married.<br />
<br />
Once the lesson ended, the girls broke up into teams and worked
together to create a skit. Each team chose one of the character
qualities from the board to base their skit on. The skits had to
demonstrate a situation in which a wife/mother would need to demonstrate
that character quality & also show what would happen if she had not
developed that quality in her life. ;)<br />
<br />
We ended the meeting with small groups followed by tea time!<br />

</div>
On Monday night we gathered for our last Bright Lights meeting of the
semester! Our topic was on "making a wise comment." I encouraged the
girls that young ladies who choose to use their words wisely will have
an incredible testimony for God's kingdom. We discussed 4 aspects of
making a wise comment: being concise, worthwhile, relevant &
appropriate.<br />
<br />

<br />
I encouraged the girls that our goal in speaking to others is not to
draw attention to ourselves but rather, to benefit and encourage the
listener. It shows great wisdom when we can discern when to speak, what
to say and how to say it.<br />
<br />
After the lesson, we spent time in groups of 2 or 3 practicing using our
words wisely by writing letters of testimony & encouragement to
others.<br />

Here are a few pictures from our meeting last week. Our topic was the
"Reliability of God's Word" and we talked about how we can trust the
Bible to be a strong, faultless, foundation for our lives.<br />

On Tuesday, we met & I shared with the girls the secret to being
wiser than your enemies - Scripture memorization & meditation! We
talked about the benefits, practicals & I encouraged each of them to
set a Scripture memorization goal that night when they got home. (Have
you set your goal yet?)<br />

In the past we have always just used a CD. However, this year, Katie has blessed us by accompanying our singing on the piano. It has added so much more to our singing times & I continue to enjoy the sweet voices as they fill our home!<br />

Before the lesson, we played a rather rowdy treasure hunt
type game. It involved searching the house for plastic coins, pieces of
paper & Allison, all while attempting to do it quickly & fill out a
worksheet with your team. Needless to say, there was a lot of pounding & shouts as girls ran up & down the stairs and encouraged their teammates. The game is a bit too complicated to attempt
explaining here, so you'll have to ask someone who was there.<br />

Rather than eagerly searching for little plastic coins or pieces of
paper, God has given us even greater treasures that can be found in His
word! During the lesson I encouraged the girls to delight in God's Word
by making the decision to spend time with Him daily.<br />

Our lesson for the evening was on receiving rebuke. Rebuke is whenever someone tells you that you are wrong. The Lord uses rebuke in our lives to help us grow to be more like Him. A young lady who is seeking to apply wisdom in her life will respond to rebuke with humility while a young lady who is walking the way of folly will reject rebuke.<br />
<br />
Once the lesson was completed, the girls split up for small group discussion, prayer & fellowship. Finally we ended with tea & fellowship!<br />

It was exciting to see the
group God has brought together! We started the evening, in the lovely weather outside, with our
traditional "first meeting game." The girls rotated partners, answering
various get to know you questions in 30 seconds or less. It was a fun
way for the girls to briefly get acquainted with a bunch of girls in the
group.<br />

Our topic for the evening was an introduction to the set we will be
covering this semester on Wisdom. Proverbs 8:11 says, "For wisdom is
better than jewels; And all desirable things cannot compare with her."
Wisdom is a valuable treasure that is worth seeking after! As Scripture
states, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Therefore, if
we want to gain wisdom we should start with a proper relationship with
the Lord.<br />
<span class="versiontext"><br /></span>
<span class="versiontext">One aspect of wisdom is learning to see things
from God's perspective rather than our own, earthly view. To illustrate
this point, the girls were split up into teams & given a pile of
puzzle pieces. The teams raced against each other to see who could
complete their puzzle the fastest.</span><br />

<br />
<span class="versiontext">The girls all agreed that if I had shown them
the picture of what the puzzle was supposed to look like it would have
been much easier to put the puzzle together. Similarly, our life is

to serve as small group leaders throughout the year. In preparation for
the year ahead, the O'Fallon leaders for 2012-2013 gathered to spend
the day in prayer, training, discussion & fellowship.<br />

We started the day with a delicious breakfast made by our
hostess, Mrs. B. Then, we gathered briefly before each young lady went
off by herself to spend some time in individual prayer & Bible
reading.<br />

Once everyone was finished, we gathered back together to pray as a group
for the upcoming year of Bright Lights. It was so encouraging to spend
time asking the Lord's blessing on our group. After that, each of the
girls paired up with her co-leader & spent some time brainstorming
& praying for their small groups.<br />

of darkness. How can a young lady stay physically and emotionally pure
as she waits for God’s best in marriage? How can parents protect and

material is discreet and appropriate for twelve year olds, yet relevant
to all ages. Includes testimonies from young ladies who serve as Bright

<i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">In
1996, Sarah Mally started a discipleship ministry in her living room
with the goal of challenging other young ladies to be strong for the
Lord in their youth. We have been excited to see how the Lord has
allowed Bright Lights to grow, and now there </span></i><i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">are about 500 Bright
Lights groups that have started around the country and internationally.
Bright Lights continues to train leaders, host mother / daughter
conferences, and provide discipleship materials for young ladies. Sarah
Mally is also the author of “Before You Meet Prince Charming,” published
in 2006, and co-author of the book “Making Brothers and Sisters Best

This evening each of the girls shared something she appreciated about her partner and something the Lord had taught her through 4:12. It was encouraging to hear young ladies share about a renewed hunger for God's word, a greater desire to honor parents & improved sibling relationships! I encouraged each of these girls to continue intentional relationships with each other, to remain consistent accountability and prayer for each other throughout the summer!<br />
<br />
I praise the Lord for all He has done in these young ladies this semester & look forward to hearing of the continued fruit in each of their lives!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16747561262837334771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215374702916787545.post-47354313502262347222012-05-01T07:03:00.000-07:002012-05-01T07:03:28.152-07:00Honoring Parents 4/24/12I apologize, this post is a week late. We had a great time last week wrapping up Set 5 with a lesson on honoring your parents.<br />
<br />
Our Gratefulness Banquet is quickly approaching! For the banquet, each small group has memorized a large portion of Scripture to share. During our meeting each group got up & presented the passage they had memorized to the rest of the group. It was so encouraging to hear each group share.<br />

After we heard each recitation, I taught a lesson on honoring parents and gave the girls some practical suggestions for showing honor and respect to their parents. Once the lesson was completed, the girls surprised me with a birthday cake & bag full of birthday cards from each of the girls!<br />

Next, we did a Bible sword drill with various Scriptures related to parents, authority, honor & disrespect. We made it a competition between the small groups and the Miriam group won this time.<br />

This evening our topic was gossip.. something we take lightly
but God takes very seriously. Gossip is destructive and rooted in pride.
Our desire as Christians should only be to speak words of love that
will build up and encourage those around us.<br />
<br />
As talkative young ladies, it is easy for us to be caught up in this subtle sin, yet God has called us to a higher standard in the way we speak and place value on others.<br />

<span class="text Eph-4-29" id="en-NKJV-29302">During
the lesson, we played a comical game, telephone charades, which
illustrated how a story can get distorted as it is passed from one
person to another. Each round a team of 6 was chosen. While her
teammates were out of the room, the first girl was given a Bible story
she had to act out. Then her second teammate entered the room and
watched her perform the charade. The 2nd person then acted it out for
the 3rd person and the game continued until the last person had to guess
what the original Bible story was.</span><br />

It was amusing to see how the charade changed from person
to person
until the final act had nothing to do with the original story! In the
same way, when we repeat stories about people, they often adapt and
become a tale far from the truth.<br />
<br />
Once the lesson was
over, the girls spent time in small groups, began working on a special
(secret) project for our upcoming banquet & ended with tea time. See
you all again on March 27th!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16747561262837334771noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215374702916787545.post-11450027353527569622012-03-03T21:48:00.001-08:002012-03-03T21:50:05.926-08:00Small Group Leaders 2011-2012Something many girls in our Bright Lights group may not realize is that once a month, all the older girls who serve as small group leaders take time out of their Saturday afternoons to pray and plan for their small groups. These young women have faithfully invested time into serving and praying for the 6-8 girls in their groups.<br />

Today was one of our meetings & we took time out to take a few pictures.<br />

Today we built on our lesson from last meeting & talked specifically about complaining. I encouraged the girls with two examples from Scripture. First, I talked about the Israelites who complained despite all the mighty deeds the Lord was performing for them. Second, I talked about Joseph and his attitude of rejoicing in the unforseen plan God had in store for him rather than complaining.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I encouraged the girls to view suffering & irritation as a test, an opportunity to rejoice in the Lord and trust that He will work through the situation.</div>

This semester many
girls from our group are paired with a pen pal from a Bright Lights
group in Texas. At our meeting, each of the girls received their pen
pal's info card. It was fun to see everyone excited & comparing cards with each other.<br />

Last
Tuesday we began Set 5 with the topic of gratefulness. Gratefulness is
"being aware that God is working even through difficulty and expressing
to others how God has used them to benefit my life."<br />

At
the end of the lesson, I had the girls write down a list of at least 5
reasons why they were grateful for their parents. Each young lady was
challenged to share at least two of those things with her parents
sometime before our next meeting.<br />

I
also had each of the girls think of a situation or person that they
find difficult to have a grateful attitude around. I encouraged each of
them to purpose to respond in gratefulness during the week for that
situation or annoyance.<br />
<br />
After the lesson, the girls had
a time with their small groups. This year we have 5 different small
groups that are led by young ladies who are being trained in leadership.
Each of the small group leaders helps lead discussion, accountability
& prayer for her small group.<br />

We ended, as usual with tea &

Valentine's treats provided by several of the young ladies in our group.<br />
