Wow! Loved our discussions time this week. I am so sad that our time is coming to an end. I will miss my Friday girl time!
LAST BIBLE STUDY- NEXT WEEK DECEMBER 7TH!
SONG OF THE WEEK- LOSING BY TENTH AVENUE NORTH. I know we all feel like we are loosing at times. The ones who hurt us and cause conflict often times don't even know what they've done. This song hits the nail on the head of trying to reach the freedom that comes when we surrender to the sound of God's mercy and grace!
THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK-
(1)How do you want to be remembered? What words do hope others describe you as (ex. generous, humble, prayerful, or peaceful) ? The list on pg. 142 of the participants guide has some great ones. What can we do today to live out those words on a daily basis?
(2) What can we doing to keep from going our own way, doing as we please, and speaking idle words to more effectively observe the Sabbath?
(3) What lies in your underbelly? Is it pride, insecurities, unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, jealousy, shame, regrets, rejection, stress, or crazy/unrealistic schedules?
QUOTES OF THE WEEK FROM LYSA-
-"No jealous thought is ever life-giving"
-"Comparison steals celebration"-"Realities based on runaway feelings rather than truth always lead to one thing-insecurity"
-"Where there is a lack of rest, there is an abundance of stress"
-"Coming Unglued isn't all bad if it brings us to God"
VERSES OF THE WEEK-
1) "If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord's holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, then you will find your joy in the LORD, and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob" For the mouth of the LORD has spoken- Isaiah 58:13-14
2) For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of- Matthew 12:34
HOMEWORK: Read Chapters 9-12 and participant's guide pg.'s 145-188.
