Are you girls wondering what the next assignment is? I'm so sorry but our home computer has been sent off to have some work done on it. I feel out of the loop when I don't have access to a computer.
We are about half way through this life changing book. This coming Sunday we will be discussing Chapters 11 & 12. I read both of them Monday while soaking in a hot bath. So take some time for yourself and do some reading. Tonia is showing us in chapters 11 & 12, why we are the way we are. God has a perfect design and our goal should be to recognize that and ask Him to help us get back there. I personally feel like there has been a thorn festering in my soul for many years and it is now working it's way out. I will be honest, I am uncomfortable. No one ever purposely wants to admit that they have possibly been the problem all along. God is showing me the role that I play in my own life. Has anyone else had a change in perspective? The one word that keeps coming to mind is ACTIVE. I must become active in doing what I know I should do. I have been lazy in so many areas. My ministry and marriage are only two of them. I am going to purposely DO! Every morning I am starting my day with asking the Lord to show me and to help me. What about you? What are you learning?
Love

I was reading right along the other day and when I got to the end of the chapter I realized I had just read chapter 13, what a jump. Now, I am back tracking to read the current chapters. Boy, let me tell you it will take a lot of prayer for me too. I totally agree with Heather on this one and I still have a lot to learn.
ReplyDeleteHeather, for me the one word was VICTIM; yet both of our words take us to the same place: personal responsibility. The Holy Spirit showed me I was NOT a victim, and that my life did not have to be defined by others. That means, of course, I must be ACTIVE in building my life. I was surprised at how much courage it took to step into that true freedom, with a determination not to look away from what we see about ourselves that needs to change. I pray for each of you to receive courage from the Holy Spirit as you go forward to pursue your Promised Life!
