BIBLE STUDY-- getting together and encouraging one another, praying for needs, and spending time in Gods word.
This last week I hosted my first bible study. I love entertaining and having people over but as you know It can be a lot of work. My thought was to keep it simple: snackies/appetizers and lemonade with Pure Lemon Juice and Truvia and of course agua.Cannot forget a little bit of sweets on top.
I will list the guest's favorite snacks/apps in my "yummy food" section.
The bible study we are growing through is called "The Frazzled Female: Finding Peace in the Midst of Daily Life." By Cindi Wood.
It sure knocked me over the head with truth and conviction. We all constantly struggle with "busyness" and having so much on our plates. For me owning a business, taking care of my clients but yet searching and marketing for more, trying to volunteer/serve more, getting to the gym AT least 3x a week, well as pouring in time and investing in my relationships God, family and friends can be challenging. Yes-even as a single gal. Hey--I have to make ends meat and ALONE its not easy. God has truly blessed me with clients for my business and provided for all my needs. I am nothing and have nothing without Him.
"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you" Matthew 6:33
This bible study has truly showed me how finding peace in the midst of your day is by spending that time and investing in God. It is about becoming intimate with God. I find building my relationship with Him looks a lot like how you would for example-if you had a boyfriend or husband. Or any of your relationships for instance. SIMPLY PUT: it takes work, it takes listening, learning about him and his ways, putting aside time and not being distracted with what the rest of the world is doing.
I want to yearn for God and to really, really enjoy the time with him. Ultimately he is the love of my life and no other should come before him. So why is it that we forget to make time for him?
In two weeks we talk about : A LESS THAN POSITIVE ATTITUDE.
"Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones" Proverbs 16:24
I cannot wait to grow more in my relationship with God and I know this is going to be the trick in my "frazzled" life.
