Praise the Lord for what He is doing in the hearts of believers! Our small group has been studying the walk of the first disciples. How encouraging! To think that they were the most unlikely of the bunch, in fact Timothy was one of the chosen ones and he was an outcast to the people at that time because his mother had him with someone other than her race. He was chosen...among other unlikely people. I am so encouraged that God does not need my perfection but how he longs to have throne in my life and do what he does best; transform hearts.
In my personal growth reading, I have been using the Daily Bread as well as reading "Flying Closer to the Flame" by Charles Swindoll. The funniest thing is that this book goes along with our Bible Study material. I love how God organizes those things! I had nothing to do with that...after all I go to the thrift store to pick up my reading material for the winter. Usually I choose a not-so-easy to read book although this one is a fairly easy read. It just has a lot of content so reading it over time gives me the best results.
My spiritual goal is to put God in the place that he deserves and also learn to trust Him more fully!
