Glorious

I look forward to Thursday mornings every week.

Ladies bible study takes place and for 2 short hours we get to be immersed in the mighty Word of God....and each other.

This is a special group of women and they are a treasure to me.

We have watched and cheered each other on as God has taught us to apply His Word to our own personal aching worlds.

Because of Zeke's nasty little gut bug, I was already preparing myself to have to miss this week.

But God, in his mercy and kindness, made Zeke well enough to go.

We have been up to our eyeballs in poop around this house so bible study might as well have been heaven for me.

God certainly didn't disappoint.

He spoke to us out of His Word. He spoke to us through a miraculous testimony. He allowed us to be His hands and feet to another who needed provision.

It was the body of Christ at work and it was beautiful to me! It brings tears to my eyes even now.

Just for another added bonus...the Lord allowed me to meet a sweet girl who has followed my blog for 2 years. She lived out of state and has recently moved to our area. Through providential circumstances she sat in our study this morning. How cool is that?!? I was floored.

(It was totally God's idea for me to start this blog in the first place...and He knew before then that she and I would one day meet. Oh, He is so cool!!)

To think that anyone would indulge this blog any of their precious time is pretty mind-blowing. But to know that God has used it to speak to others on His behalf in unthinkable.

May He be praised!!

Anyway...words fail me. The moments of this morning were simply glorious.

Philippians 3:14-15a "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should take such a view of things."

Let's be mature believers.

Let's press on no matter what.

This weekend should be pretty special. My Ava will turn 7 years old. More to come on that later...

Hi Andrea! Thanks for the shout out on your blog! After 2 years of following, I can't believe we finally met in person! Thank you for being a true testament to what it means to walk with God. Your blog has been so uplifting and encouraging to me through my own walk with Christ.I am so excited to be a part of the Bible Study you are leading.

I often wonder if you realize how many lives you actually touch with your God lead way of saying things? I know for a fact that in some very TOUGH times that I have faced your blog was often a source of comfort. I am thankful to GOD for your willingness to do as he leads you too. Have a great week!

Oh! I'm so sad I missed it. After such victory with God last week, satan was on the prowl this week. Very few things could have kept me away from Bible study, and he knew what they were. (Can't wait to share with you about my lovely week!)
Anyway, missed you guys. And Lord willing, I will be back next week!
