I have still been reading that book "A Woman After Gods Own Heart" and it has been great. The last chapter I read talked about writing down where you want to see yourself in 10 years. That is a big question. I have often talked about it with other people when it relates to family size, but not in life in general. And even bigger than that not in regards to my relationship with Christ. I have been a Christian now for 8 1/2 years. Honestly I have not really read the bible much until this year. I would hear messages and talk about them or go to home groups, but when it came down to me actually doing the work....that was a rare occasion. I often times made excuses for myself and felt justified by others at times. But it wasn't until a few months ago that I new I need to really do something about it. You don't really realize how sinful you really are until you start reading His word. And I am not saying that we should have a beating every time we read it, but once you realize the person you are you can seek forgiveness.
So who do I want to be??
A woman who asks for His leading
Prays Daily-not just for myself
Humble
memorized 10 verses a year (that would be 100 by then)
Teaches her children to obey
Wise
The Proverbs 31 woman -this may take a life time
Seeks His kingdom first
Spirit Lead
Man there is so much more, but I don't know how to put it into words!!
This is awesome Amber - thanks for sharing! So, what verse are you starting with? =) I will have to put that book on my to read list - it sounds like you've learned a lot from it.
ReplyDeleteheather- I am not really sure at this point. i have been reading through the new testiment and almost done with Revelation. I think that I really want to focus on who He is, then who I am in Him, then teaching my children because they are my mission field right now and then i will go from there. do you have any suggestions??
ReplyDeleteOh that's awesome Amber! Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! :) Joy and I are right there with you and Collin - in it together!
ReplyDeleteTFS. I have this book on hold at the library but there is a long list. I may have to go out and buy it.
