What Can You Do Today?

Hello~ I just thought I would check in with my first post of 2020. In the last post I shared about how my church is focusing on Love, Connect and Share. January was the beginning of a new list of small groups and I am happy with the ones I have chosen to participate in. One is a group about Bible Journaling. It really isn't complicated and it helps with thinking on a deeper level as we study the Bible. We are going through the book of Colossian. Basically we read and if a verse or a passage pops out at us - we write that verse down in our notebook and then we write about that passage. Writing questions we may have about the passage. Maybe what our thoughts are about it. How we can apply the passage to our lives. Other verses in the Bible that go along with the passage. Or what God may be pointing out to us through the passage. So many different things. This has really helped me to feel like I am getting more out of studying the Bible.

Another group that I am participating in is a strength training class. This is very much out of my comfort zone but a couple of the ladies in my Sabbath School class wanted to go and I wanted to support them so I went. I think it will be very beneficial to us all.

We have begun studying 1 Corinthians at Prayer Meeting and I am sure that will be interesting.

In February I will be joining an small group as we study Lysa Terkeurst's book "Finding I AM" That should be very interesting.

There are several other groups that look so good that I would love to join but I just don't want to spread myself too thin. I am already studying Morris Vendon's "To Know God" book for Sabbath School- one of my favorite books - will always be on my favorites list - it is a great book - if you have never read it - it is WELL worth the time to read it. And if you would like a copy for free - just leave me a message and I will do my best to get a book to you!!

And also continuing in studying the "Elijah" books by Melissa Spoelstra with my Ladies Group.

Anyway all of this to say I hope that you are studying and working towards a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the MOST important relationship you can have. And I hope you are blessed with the opportunity to study with other Christians. But even if you are not - you always have the opportunity to study and asking the Holy Spirit to join you is worth so much. He will guide your into all truth. And this is important because there are a lot of counterfeits out there.

Hope you all are doing well. What are some ways you can do today to help develop a closer relationship with Jesus? Pick at least one and see what a blessing it will be to your life. :O)
