I just have to share this small little thing that happened in my life yesterday because I'm so very excited about it. I had a decision I wanted to make and I prayed about and God clearly directed me. I mean clearly. Tapping-me-on-the-shoulder clearly. And I guess the reason I'm so excited about it is because it's been awhile since I've felt that..... that thing in your heart when you know God is talking right to you right now. And it also makes me feel kinda sad too - because I ought to be at a place in my relationship with God when I have those moments alot. I hope I'm starting to get back to that place. And to help in that quest, I'm going to try to record those moments here and share them with you. Because I think the best way to say Thank You to God is to tell as many people as you can about how awesome He is.
So here's my story.
It's been a long time since I've been involved in a small group Bible Study. I mean something in depth - where you have to do homework on your own, really study the Bible and not just coast on what I think I already know. I haven't done that kind of Bible Study since before Maggie was born. Yep. That's almost 7 years, people.
So since late spring I have CLEARLY felt God telling me IT IS TIME! Girl, Get Thee to a Bible Study! So I've been looking for the right one. I knew I HAD to do SOMETHING this fall. So I've been looking at all the options. There were several..... Bible Study Fellowship, several offerings at our church..... I started researching yesterday.
In between my researching, God brought a lady to my mind. She goes to my church and I've known her for years but not very well because we've never had much opportunity to be in the same circles. But I really started thinking about her - she has such godly character and I was just really impressed with how she carried herself and I thought "I would LOVE to be involved in something that she is involved with, just to get to "walk with the wise".
So I'm looking at all my Bible Study options at our church. Narrowing down the list. There were two that it came down to and I was leaning towards one. I asked Ben about the book and he mentioned a friend had bought it recently for the class so I texted her and asked her who the teacher was.... it was HER! Well, that sealed the deal!
So I had Ben bring me home a copy of the book, and can't wait to get started in a couple of weeks!
