Week 1

Oh my goodness where do I start!! I am just amazed how God just makes himself known in our bible study! Last night was a incredible, convicting lesson, we talked about well, the first day was Mary Chose the One Best Thing Will I? and it was the story of Martha and Mary and how Martha was so distracted when Jesus came to visit that she didn't even sit down and Mary sat at his feet and listened with her her whole being and Martha got mad and told Jesus to get on to her but instead he reprimanded Martha and told her Mary was doing the right thing.. ouch!! But we all talked about who we were? Were we Martha's or Marys? Some were surprised that some were Martha's:) but that's OK...It is all our goal to be Mary's and hopefully we can be!! Day 2 talked about The Journey of Intimacy with Jesus! Ok we are still talking about Mary and Martha on this day and one of the questions was Have you ever felt that identifying with Mary is unrealistic for YOU? Alot of answers were yes but I long to be Mary so hopeful with alot of prayer God will work something out in our lives where we can be more like Mary.. On this day we also talked about Sitting at his feet does not mean that you have to just sit and be still all though that would be nice:) some of the examples of Sitting at his feet are Quiet time in the morning with him, Quiet time at Bedtime with him, you can read his love letters (The Bible) you can sing and praise him, but I love how she encouraged us to let him be a part of our daily lives.. invite him to go grocery shopping, to the bank, the post office a drive across town, a walk how easy is that? So the next time you set out to run your errands invite him to go, I promise you he would love to!!Get ready to explore a deeper LOVE relationship with him!Day 3 talked about hearing his voice, God loves for us to desire him and in return he longs to desire our hearts with his love.Alot of times we are so preoccupied with our daily lives that we hear everyone Else's voice but Gods and we do not realize that he has spoken to us until after the fact! I loved this conversation we had last night. One of the ladies said how do you know what his voice sounds like? So many of us had so many wonderful examples and one said the more you grow with him you totally know his voice ex: just like talking to someone on the phone everyday and then they call and say hey you know who it is immediately.. Grow deeper with him and you will recognize his voice the minute you hear it!Day 4 title was My hearts longing Day 4 talked about he know our hearts longings way before we even voice it but he desperately wants you to pour your heart out to him! We talked about Hannah and how she prayed with her heart and not her mouth and he answered, It is so col to think that he is truly the only one who knows your heart and he longs to be the answer!Pour your heart out to him and he will hear you and answer, now remember it may not be the answer you are looking for but remember he know whats BEST for you~Trust HIM!!Day 5 Something More...I just really want to encourage each one of you to STAY FOCUSED on HIM and he will keep you fed and well watered:) God does cause us to be thirsty for him and I love that!! He can give us all we need if we just make sure to put him first in all we do! You are definitely first on his list!! If you need me to answer any other questions about any of the lessons we just went over or anything else please contact me! I want to make it clear as I can and help you grow with God! I can not wait to see you next week come back for more!!! Have a great week! I am praying for each one of you!!!
