It’s been a busy week, full of many blessings.
First, I’m pleased to tell you that I’ve finished drafting all of the devotions for a book. Now begins the editing process. And, I’ve decided to test my own work and read and journal through my devotions this summer. Seems only right that I should reflect on the messages as much as those of you who read my writing.
On Monday, I concluded my sixth year of BSF and the study of the life of Moses. What an incredible leader, who relied completely on God as he led the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land. He was prayerful and submissive to God. And he was also human — displaying self doubt, anger and impatience, and sinfulness. It was wonderful to study his life and how God trained him for his purposes, and used him mightily, in spite of his humanness. We can take heart knowing that God can and does use imperfect people.
I’m looking forward to my final year of BSF, when the class will study the book of John. Classes start after Labor Day if you want to join in. My evening women’s class will start on Monday, September 14 at 6:55 p.m. at Berean Baptist Church at County Rd. 42 and 35 E in Burnsville. For those of you not in the area — or for you men — check out the BSF website to find a class near you. It’s a wonderful way to study the Bible.
Ernie and I got out for a beautiful ride on Tuesday night with a good friend. I love horseback riding because it gives me the chance to enjoy my horse while socializing with others. What a treat!
On Wednesday, I learned of a huge answer to prayer — a prayer I’ve been praying for at least three years. It just demonstrated to me not to ever give up praying!
Last night, my Alpha group dug into why and how to read the Bible. It’s such a blessing to me to help others learn about God and the Bible, and go deeper in their faith. Please pray that my group members will sign up for the Holy Spirit retreat, which will be next Saturday, May 30.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
I am thrilled to hear you are working on the book. I can’t wait for a copy of it.
Thanks for sharing with all of us
