God’s Always At Work

Yes, I started another study.

Without planning it, without looking for it, and after I had just said I had too much on my plate. I had already decided the study our church was holding wasn’t speaking to me.

Then while reading my blog roll I popped over to LPM and found…

Beth Moore at Living Proof Ministries is doing a Siesta Summer Bible Study 2013 online and it’s with Gideon. After my wonderful experience with Daniel, I wanted to check out this Gideon guy. Oh my goodness, the way Priscilla brings him to life is so amazing and inspiring, that I found myself wanting to to learn more.

So yep, I signed on for a summer study after all.

I am already behind as I jumped on board at week 2, and my book isn’t even here yet, and I have to do 4 weeks of homework by July 9th. The best part of it though, I can do it from home! Not having a car (I will have to explain that one on my blog sometime) I just stay home and putt around, unless the husband takes me somewhere I need to go. One can only clean, garden, read and watch movies for so long. Sure a lot of projects are getting completed and some new ones beginning but I was beginning to feel like something was or is missing.

I love it when God see’s it before I do and is able to present it right when I need it.

I guess He wanted me to do this cause it just kind’a landed in my lap, or shall I say laptop!

When I began reading week 1 notes and listening to the video, I got what God needed of me. Now to fully understand it and how. It doesn’t matter how far behind I am, cause in God’s plan, I am right where I am suppose to be doing exactly what he planned I'd be doing, right down to that not knowing and Him knowing I don’t. Then as unsure as I am, somewhere or sometime down the path, I become sure, and it’s all because of Him. How awesome is that!

Since this study will be done at my pace and at my time, I’m thinking it will be easier for me. I’m thinking it will also help me to continue working on and finish up with my journey with Daniel.

Oh and while I was reading the other day, Jennifer Rothschild newsletter had this information…

I am looking forward to her Fingerprints of God bible study. I will order the workbook (if I don’t win one) to have on hand for when it is His time for me to do it, but do it I will!

Hope you stick around on my journey through the Bible and that it brings you some peace in your life as He has in mine.

Life Update

I wanted to pop on here quickly to let those who are reading this portion of my blog know that I have not given up on Daniel. I did have did throw in the towel with Making Sense though. With everything on my plate right now, there is no way it will ever get cleaned if I keep adding more to it.

Hopefully over the next couple of months we should have some of the answers to some of our prays, or at least some direction might be presented, but in reality God's work is never ending and it is His time and His plan.

New meds have my brain captive right now and after 3 weeks on them I am learning how to regain some of what I was able to do before that darn bug knock me down. Baby steps! One day at a time!

Keep praying. Keep popping in and I know He will give me the words to finish Daniel with you.

What about you? Is something bogging you down? Is God speaking to you and it is just so crazy you can barely hear Him. Maybe there is a study that will help you grow as He plans.

It's not to late to get onboard the Siesta Summer Bible Study 2013 by Living Proof Ministries. I'm a week behind myself but can get caught up quickly. I ordered my book today and the first 3 sessions of Gideon to further understand the study. I will not punish myself for going a different pace, or at times a different route, just so long as the destination remains with what God intended..

Each morning, as your eyes open to greet the day, greet Him first. Thank Him for the new day and take it from there. God doesn't need an hour of your time all the time. He loves those little moments too.

See you again really soon.
