As
I’ve mentioned before I’m leading a girl’s bible study on Tuesday mornings with
my youth girls. This semester
we’re talking about women of the bible.
The first two weeks we focused on Naomi and Ruth. These two women were humble and
trusting. They knew the Lord would
take care of them in their time of need and were faithful to Him through
it. Yesterday we talked about
Abigail, who really personifies the term ‘empowering’. She was bold, courageous and took a
risk most wouldn’t take. Next week
we’re delving into the “not so reputable” woman, Bathsheba. I really love teaching and love that
I’m learning so much. I saw the
story of Ruth in an entirely new light, I learned Abigail’s story (which I
didn’t know before), and now I’m excited to study something I’m pretty familiar
with, the life of Bathsheba. I
know God will reveal new things and I’m pumped about it!
Today
was a bit of a refresher for me. I
woke up too late to go to my 6am bible study and ended up sleeping in pretty
late. I’ve been going and going
for the last few weeks and although it was unintentional, I really think I
needed a day to rest. My body was
telling me all day yesterday to slow down, but of course I had way too many
things I wanted to accomplish or be involved in to listen to that little voice
that told me, “You need a nap!”
I’m quickly realizing what it’s like to constantly be busy. I actually really like it.
This
semester has started off well. I’m
learning, growing, maturing, serving, socializing, resting, teaching, making
new friends, and just enjoying life.
Don’t get me wrong, things aren’t always peachy, but I truly don’t have
too much to complain about. The
Lord is good to me. He protects
me, and He speaks tenderly to me.
I
know this is pretty short, but I just wanted to give a quick update on what’s
going on here in the West! Happy
Wednesday, friendlies!
And happy February! Love on someone today.
