Bilble Study - And we are changed

Since I could not get this to post on the Bible Study blog - I'm posting it here.  We are studing "And we are Changed".  Chapters 3 -5.

The Lord spoke to me about my attitude and then gave me a test before I finished reading Chapters 4 & 5. I was really enjoying my study - a cup of coffee, listening to the thunder, and not having anything scheduled until after lunch on Saturday. (Something very rare at our house) Then I received a call from Mollie- the person that was supposed to bring them breakfast at work never showed up. She wanted me to bring her breakfast. I was going to do it, but with the wrong attitude. I quickly changed my attitude and was blessed. When I started the car there was wonderful Christian music playing, the sun was shining through the clouds and the spring flowers were beautiful. I took donuts for the entire staff - when I delivered them, Mollie asked me to look in the window. They were all smiling and waving at me. It was all because my attitude was changed.




I was fortunate to be raised with Christian friends & family. Everyone went to church, but not everyone chose Christ as Savior. I accepted Christ in high school at an FCA meeting. I had excellent youth leaders and mentors. Christ has always been my best friend. He has been there through good times and bad, but it has been easy to be too busy to spend time with Him. This study is really speaking to me about that.

Its Saturday

Its Saturday morning and I am trying to complete the online Bible study, but too many interuptions.  Teleamarketers, texts from Mollie, etc.  So I am blogging. 

So far this morning I have read Elisabeth Elliiot - she is so insiteful.  I was so blessed to get to meet her a few weeks ago.  I am trying to finish my chapters in Priscilla Shirer's -And we are Changed.  Almost finished - she is speaking to me.  It's so simple.  Jesus loves me.  JESUS love me.  Jesus LOVES me.  Jesus loves ME.  Three little words...  You can take very verse in the Bilbe back to these 3 words.  John 3:16...

So how can we miss the mark?  To stay on the mark - Just remember the 3 words...

Sorry Blog I've forgotten you

I did not realize that it had been so long since I have posted. Life has been busy. Spring is here and I have been busy outside as well as lots of weddings & showers to help with. I have finally begun to refinish the big piece of furniture that I purchased. Much bigger project than I thought that it will be. Dale tried to help, but I'm not sure if help is the correct word. At least he tried.




The big news and change is that Mollie is joining the Navy. She will leave for Bootcamp August 9 for 8 weeks. It is in Great Lakes, IL then off to school in Pensacola, FL. She will be IT (computers) so the school will be about 14 weeks. After that who knows - she may be ship based or land based. She said that she may sign up for a 1 year tour aboard ship. (That too long for Mom) Usually, it's 6 months. All of our plans have changed - we are trying for one last family vacation just the four of us. Plans for her graduation with the grandparents attending, Millie will be student teaching so she may not get to attend. Then, possibly Thanksgiving in Pensacola.



Millie will get her grad degree in November – don’t know what’s next for her.
