As a member of The Annex student ministry at CU Boulder, I am a part of a core group that has bible study every week. There are eight other girls in my core group and we have an amazing leader. We meet every Thursday night to talk about life and support each other through the highs and the lows. Last semester we studied 1 Samuel, which was the first time that I read it. This semester we have been reading Mark, which is the first book out of the Bible that I read. It's so different reading it now than it was when I first read it, because I now have girls to discuss it with and we all have different insights. The Bible is hard to read, so it is nice to have others to discuss it with and help to understand everything. Our leader is amazing and is so knowledgeable and insightful, and it is such a blessing to have her guide us through our study and through our lives. I look forward to meeting every Thursday, because it is nice to have girls around that have the same values and beliefs, especially in college life right now. I will be updating our studies every week and writing about our journey through Mark as the semester goes by.
