Here is the bottom line for this blog: To get back in touch with God, My Lord and Savior.
I have drifted away from Him for far to long and I have an amazing desire to return to His safety. I won't get into the reason for my drift now, maybe later down the road.
I have a great passion for not only the Lord but for writing so as I am sitting here tonight, stuck in bed with a herniated disk, (can anyone say God is trying to get my attention and making me sit still to listen to Him.) Anyway I thought what a better way to combine my two passions, God and writing.
The plan is to study each book over the next ... who knows how long this might take and journal what I have learned and discovered about my God and myself. I am hoping that I will have fellow Christ followers join me on this journey.
If you do join me please add comments of what you have learned or discovered along your own "travel" We all need to remember there are no right or wrong answers to any Bible Study so if you are worried about not getting the "right answer" please put that thought out of your mind. All God wants from us is our love, devotion and well our everything. He wants us to love Him as much as He loves us. Right where we are. There is no need to clean up for God. Once you have a personal relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ He will do the cleaning, from the inside out. Trust me, I know you don't know me from the dark side of the moon but I use to think God could never want anything to do with me after all the awful things I had done. Luckily I met a lady through my children s elementary school, another mom who was a helper during the lunch hour who mentioned she was starting a Bible Study the next day. I don't know what possessed me to ask to join but I did and she was overjoyed with my request. Long story short I arrived the next day with nothing but a vision of what a "church lady" was suppose to be like and I wasn't it. After that first class I knew I was in the wrong place. I didn't belong there with those godly women. They had all the right answers to all of these godly questions. I told my friend the next day I would not be back that just wasn't for me. She said she understood. Little did I know she prayed for my return everyday for that whole next week and little did she know that during that week something kept me up at night and that was the week I gave myself to the Lord to do as He saw fit. I know I told you this was the long story short and I promise it is. When I arrived back the next week to class she began to sob and told me how she had been praying I would return. I then, once the tears slowed down, told her I had given my life to the Lord the day before. God knew what He was doing, He knew I would be back. When I got to my spot from the week before there was a wrapped box waiting for me. It was my first study Bible and every woman in that class had signed it. I used that Bible to this day. That was ten years ago and not a day goes by I don't think about her or that group. Now you know a little about me or at least my testimony I hope we do go on this journey together whether we ever meet face to face.
I will try to let you know what section or book I am currently studying and/or what study guide I am following. My prayer is that I will not be the only person to benefit from my journey into God's word and His desire for our lives.
May God Bless you and yours and I hope we all learn and remember how much God loves us, just the way we are, His.
