SO excited!!!!
Starting another personal Bible Study today- it is downloading as I type this.
I say this about each one I do... It means something special.... and they do, each one has played a HUGE role in my personal relationship with Jesus!!
This baby, means THE MOST out of them all.... just for the simple fact that... It has been EIGHT
yes I said EIGHT YEARS in the making!!!!
It was 2004.. we lived in Maryville TN... A friend and fellow home-school mom invited me to come along with her to her church and take this study.
We had just started homeschooling in late 2003, MAJOR issues going on in my life AND extended family, I had yet not FULLY surrendered to GOD, and it was TO MUCH for me to process ...
We had just lost baby # nine, and my health was VERY bad.. Went in for a complete hysterectomy and abdominal surgery due to the spreading of the Endometriosis.
To say life was crazy, is putting it mildly. I knew God was with me, yet I did not GET IT.
I still believed anything GOD did for me was only because of the prayers of my Grandmother.
But he was faithful to me, good to me, and loved me through that painful process.
OK enough of that...
Had I gotten the memo God had been trying to give me, I would have realized THIS was THE one where the work He has done in our lives now, could of started then.
And regardless of popular opinion, He had already been working on us..
And I suppose I knew that deep down, and that scared me to death..
See at that point I did not trust God, let alone BELIEVE God.
Sad really, looking back.. Oh how I wish this woman sitting here today could of told that one back then... GOD REALLY DID LOVE ME, and so badly wanted ME to not only TRUST but also BELIEVE HIM!!!!
So with great anticipation to what and how my WONDERFUL, LOVING, TRUST-WORTHY Father is and has been to me...
Knowing that MANY changes are happening, and especially over the next nine weeks...
I am finally starting the Study HE placed in my lap eight years ago!!
With a lump of praise, and all manners of emotion in my throat...
I feel another wave of HEALING about to take place.
And a good dose of courage to keep stepping...
OH how I love me some good
" get up in ma grill N wax it" kinda "Mix my kewlade"
kinda Study!!!
Let's do it Lord, You and me!!! I love you Father!!
In-case you have not figured out which study I am starting...
