This morning, God woke me up to a pressing desire to go to His Word. I love it when He is my alarm clock. So, I got up, and went. What a blessing it was!!!
I have been leading a ladies Precept Bible Study group through Revelation. This is an amazing group of ladies that God has put together. We have been studying together, some as long as 4 plus years. We have studied the Pentateuch, Daniel, Nehemiah, Judges, Covenant...and the list goes on. We study, pray, cry, laugh and praise God together. God has both blessed me and lavished His love on me by calling me to lead this group. I absolutely adore these ladies.
I cannot tell you what a blessing it is to do what God calls you to do, or not do :)
I love that He has given me passion and a desire to study and love His Word. It is my inhale! I am breathing in the very breath of God. It is a feeling that I cannot be without.
He is giving me six months to really focus on what He wants me to do. Homeschooling is my first and foremost calling. He is showing me in ways I can understand that I am right where I am supposed to be on this :)
He also knows my passion for His Word and the overwhelming desire to show others, including my own kids, how to study it for themselves and discover on their own the precepts that God wants for them!! So amazing to see the lightbulb go off! GOD IS GOOD!! I love to hear the sound of "oh, I get it"!! Makes my heart sing!! Understanding and applying the Truth!!! YES!!!
He brought me to Precept Leading in a way only He could, 5 years ago!! Since then, He has allowed me to use it at home, at church with our kiddos, and in this ladies group. I have been blessed to see Him call other leaders out of the core group that started years ago. I have watched it grow!! YES LORD! THANK YOU!!
This fall, I know where God wants me with our kiddos at Calvary. What a gift this is.
Homeschooling will be my first ministry! I am so excited about it...at the same time He has shown me that He wants me to carry on with Precept Leading. He has shown me a way to put it all together without filling up my plate. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A GIFT THIS IS TO ME!! A huge answer to prayer for me and my family!
Did I mention my passion for teaching others to study God's Word? GLORY!! Learning the Truth and living in the light of it!! YES!
I am so glad that He loves me enough to take the time to show my hard headed self what He wants for me and for my family! I am pumped!!!! Will tell you more...soon.
Have a fantastic day in the LORD...take the time to let Him breathe His Word into you!!!
"Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of the heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever." Daniel 12:3
Isn't it great to know God can still use us hard headed people? Happy for you and the clarity and direction God has given you :)
ReplyDeleteJo, I'm glad to read that little line: "without filling up my plate."
ReplyDeleteOne thing that I've observed over the years, is women who pile their plates so high, they have no room left for God's interruptions, which very often include, being available when people need you.
If we would keep everything in balance, we would do much more for the Kingdom:)
Blessings my friend,
