Bible Study

This Bible Study began in April and I am so glad that a person can begin any time. You will see the I AM button on my side bar. Feel free to check it out and enjoy a time of study at your leisure.

1. Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you? What do you perceive may be at stake if you do or do not speak out for Him? The latest circumstance is now I am working with Middle School Students in a Wednesday Family Night at our Church. These young people have so many things thrown at them every day and I want to be able to give them ideas on how to react to them so they can say no or maybe to say yes. What I perceive in this circumstance is the life of a child. A child that is loved by our Lord Jesus Christ. I have to speak out for them because their spiritually life is at stake.


2. Can you honestly describe yourself as a woman with a 'yes' in her spirit? If not, what keeps you from this? At this time in my life I can say yes. That is to say, I have not always been a woman who could say yes. I believe with my growth spiritually I can and will be a woman who will do what is asked of me.


3. Do you recognize any circumstances in your life which could be described as an 'unrecurring event'? Have you ever said 'no' to one and watched God use someone else instead? Yes there was a circumstance when a Sunday School teacher taught my girls to pray as small children. In my mind I thought they were too young to learn and I said no.


4. Are you in an emotionally and spiritually healthy place? If yes, how are you using this freedom to minister to others? If no, what do you feel is holding you in your Egypt? Right at this moment I am at an emotionally and spiritually healthy place. With this freedom I can minister to the young people placed in my life. In the class room I am able to answer questions in an honest way to lead them in a positive way. Praying for them has become a joy as I see some answers to those prays.

You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
