Ok, so the theme to Welcome back Kotter is running through my head as I type this. Not that I am that old, but I was thinking Welcome Back as I started typing and since everything I think tends to lead me to a song....there you go! How is that for random thinking?
My inlaws have been in town the last few weeks so the only computer time I have had has been for school and banking. Not that this is a bad thing, just an honest explanation for why I have not had the time to empty my head again through blogging.
Whoa! Did I really just type blogging, I guess I am truly living in this century after all.
So tonight is the night! I have been praying about this night for weeks and I have to say that God has surprised me several times already with His Awesome revelations! Tonight is the introduction to the Women's Bible study that I am blessed to lead/ facilitate. The Bible study for this fall is BECOMING MORE THAN A GOOD BIBLE STUDY GIRL By Lysa Terkeurst.
For anyone who doesn't know who Lysa is, she is the President of Proverbs 31 Ministries and she is a pretty good speaker and writer. I can not give her rave reviews as of yet becuase I have only known about her for a few months and I am a tough person to win over when it comes to writing and speaking.
Anyway, I am very excited about tonight because I have already received some great blessings from God just in the preperation for this study. First! God has given me a good day today. What I mean by that is that I feel good today. No nagging pain, no fatigue, no crazy mood swings... I am looking at the world with open eyes and easy breathing. Before this days blessing, I recieved God's blessing yesterday when He walked me through the process of writing out tonight and next week's Bible study questions. See, I thought I had asked the ladies at LifeWay to order the Bible study workbooks and the DVD. But instead they ordered the books and the DVD. You catch that, No workbook. I had a brief moment of panic, ok, the car ride back from Tallahassee was mostly me negotiating with God about how to get the workbooks in before the study starts and to find the money to pay for them since it was clearly my ordering error and the church budget is not responsible for paying for my ordering error. But! Just as I reached Calhoun County I realized that I needed to shutup and listen to God instead of keep talking to God. Funny how I forget to listen sometimes, isn't it?
So, I listened. you know what He said? He said "you do it". Like the Nike slogan, Just do it. He said "You Do It!" Now, I will admit to equal parts glee and panic at His answer. Yeah for me that God wants to use my feeble brain to come up with questions to ask these ladies, His children! But whoa is me that God wants to use my feeble brain to come up with questions to ask His children!
Yeah, I know, I am SO complex right?
So then yesterday I am reading the pages for next weeks lessen for about the 4th time when God just starts pulling the words to me. Almost as if they were written in bold in the book. So I start writing them down in my Wonder Woman spiral. (that's right, I take notes for Bible study about being a good Bible study girl in a Wonder Woman spiral, you got a problem with that?: )) The next thing I know I am typing up tonights questions and next weeks questions and printing them off. Just like that.
I actually had to read the pages that printed to be sure I know what was on the paper. Thank you Lord! You are totally Awesome!
So the blessings that I received before yesterday, well, those will just have to wait for another post. I will leave it in God's hands to say when. For now please belive me when I say that He is awesome. Right down to the rainbow over my house a few days ago!
I pray God Blesses you too!
