Excited Newbie

I am so excited to tell you about a new on-line Bible study that begins on Sunday.  It is being hosted by Proverbs 31.  We will be studying Renee Swope's book, A Confident Heart.  I'm four chapters in and totally hooked.  I expected good things from this book, but it has delivered beyond my expectations -- and the study hasn't even started yet!  It has been such a blessing to read so much of my personal story in Renee's words.  Just the title of chapter 2 captured my heart -- "Because God's Love Is Perfect, I Don't Have to Be."  For the people-pleasing perfectionist I've always been, those words were music to my ears.  

What about you?  Are you looking for security and significance?  Do you dream of a day when you could be truly confident of God's love for you?  

Why not join the study with me?  

Still listening --

Super Powers

I'm invisible.  What's your super power?  Being invisible wasn't my idea.  I think I would rather have a really cool cape and be able to fly -- or maybe it would be fun to travel through time.  Yes -- time travel would be perfect.  Just imagine the people and places from history that you could meet.  I, of course, would travel back to the 50s and hang out with Elvis!

Still -- being invisible has its advantages.  Since people don't see me, I can come and go as I please without anyone ever knowing I was in the room.  Often, they notice the evidence of what I brought into the room or remove from the room.  But it's done in such stealth that they never actually see me.    

Makes me wonder who else is invisible - who else takes care of little things (and big things) -- things that I appreciate but don't take the time to see (and appreciate) the people who provided them? 

With October just around the corner, Thanksgiving will be here soon.  Between now and then, I plan to challenge myself to look for other invisible people and be thankful -- not just for what they do, but for who they are

How about you?  Will you take the challenge with me?

Still listening -- and now -- watching . . .
