New Quarter, New Studies

I just love the arrival of new literature...even while I am immersed in the culminating thoughts of the current one.  Today's Sunday School such highlight was I Cor. 3:16.  Yes, Lord, make me ever aware of the sanctuary that I am to be for you.  Yes, I love the song "Sanctuary," too.

Then, right in the middle of that, our delivery of next quarter's curriculum focusing on the Israelite's' movement into The Promised Land.  Never before opened books.  Resources awaiting my perusal.  If this should make me sound like a nerd, well, shhhh, I am!

My Sunday School is using the Gospel Project curriculum, a chronological approach through the  Bible.  What I dearly love about this curriculum is the weekly connection from the Old Testament to the New, as in, above from Exodus and the building of the Tabernacle to the 1 Cor. 3:16.  Just love it.

Another new study has come my way.  In chatting with a peer at work, she invited me to join a study of Keep It Shut with others at school.  Now, that, I could not resist.  As we text, I found the book, the study guide, and the video...and ordered them all.  This "keeping it shut" I began last fall after a  blatant suggestion from the Lord himself when He gave me a set of scriptures in II Chronicles.  Sometimes, I suppose He has to speak quite loudly as I seem to be talking way too much!  I know that most days, He probably just shakes His head and say, "Tammy, you are doing better, but you sure have a ways to go!"

More about this to come, I am sure.

Currently, I am reading a few more books...When God Makes Lemonade and Crazy Love and Pathway to Freedom.  Once upon a time, I could not have read so many at a time.  Now, I see no other way, as I glean needed nuggets from each.

I would love to hear from you...what are you reading good?  What nuggets is He sharing with you?
