Busy, busy, busy! (I did blog at Treasures and Mrs. G's Book Reviews...and wrote about half the number of poems I planned in April...again, I remind myself: writing some is better than writing none!)
So here goes....
Currently, the Lord is busy keeping me busy for Him...AND, at the same time, teaching me to say, "No." "No thank you."
Reminder...my one word for this year is LESS, and on that, I am still working. For instance, last evening, while chatting with the ladies at church, I asked for another volunteer to be in charge of the t-shirts sales, and after a bit, that volunteer spoke up. Yay!
My "less" also continues as I work with the youth, for the Lord has sent to us a potential youth director...no, a potential youth couple! How amazing is that! They feel the call to work with the youth. I feel the call to not. God just works like that! I am excited to see how He works out the details!
My Bible Study with my Gal Pals (Making Choices) is wonderful. I love these ladies and appreciate them sooooo much. We are one meeting away from finishing Beth Moore's The Patriarchs. My...what an amazing study. AND Beth Moore is coming to Arkansas in August, to which I have won two tickets! How exciting! That will be a lovely girl weekend. Looking forward to that.
We have learned so much. Sooooooo much. Last evening, we decided that our next study will be Priscilla Shirer's Gideon. I arrived to class with no particular study in mind (well...I do want to study Moore's Daniel and Paul studies...at some point...but I do agree with the ladies that we need to study and get to know other authors). After some discussion, the consensus was Shirer...and then Gideon. Perfect.
Therefore, beginning the second Tuesday in June, I will begin this study. Would you like to join us...me? Please do! More details...just as soon as I purchase my book and have some time to pray about how to set this up!
Also...school is about out...May 22, here I come. Time to rest and refresh. AND time to focus on some events for church. Two events that I so enjoy...Women's Conference and VBS. I love both. Very much. Yes, more about both soon!
I have completed two studies...with just myself...as part of my morning Quiet Time. Two books that I highly recommend!
- 40 Days of Increase...and amazing study for Lent, one I may just repeat next year. I came across this book for the low cost of $5...and bought it. So glad I did.
- Awaken...this one I began in January, one that contains 90 days of devotions. Written by Priscilla Shirer, I marked it up from cover to cover. Really enjoyed it...and will purchase copies to give as gifts. Just that good!
Much to say...much to pray about...so I will be back soon!
In the meantime, please consider joining me in my study of Gideon! Blessings!
