Bible Study

Last week I started a bible study with the ladies from work on the book "A Woman After God's Own Heart" by Elizabeth George.  I just completed this study back in February taught and lead by one of my sisters in Christ "Noemi Fine".  I truly enjoyed reading this book and the time spent with the other ladies as we learned to have a Heart After God's Own Heart.
As women we always ask ourselves how can we become a woman of God?  How can we make choices that position us so that God can impassion our hearts toward Him?  Ladies, let me tell you if you really want to be a woman after God's own heart this is the book to read.  This is my second time doing the study and I am looking forward to the continuation of the transformation of my heart towards our amazing God.
Last week during our first study it was so heart warming to see all the ladies excited about this study.  It is such a blessing to be part of a company that allows us women to get together during lunch and study God's word.   Its even a bigger blessing knowing that it is a faith base company that operates following biblical principles from the bible and honors God in all they do....how amazing is that!  Hearing each lady share something about themselves only confirmed that God has great plans for these ladies.  Each lady had a different struggle they deal with and when we reviewed a quick snapshot of what each chapter in the book entails I knew right away that God placed them in the right place.
To be A Woman After God's Own Heart we have to be willing to do whatever He want us to do.  We know that isn't always easy, and that's why doing this study together with other women we can learn and spiritually grow by simply sharing stories, insights, experiences and the many things we encounter as women who are working toward being the woman God created us to be.
Whenever I think of Mary, a woman who sat at Jesus' feet and chose"...that good part, which will not be taken away from her' (Luke 10:42), I think of her as A Woman After God's Own Heart'.  She knew it was important to stop all activity and to set aside secondary things, in order to focus completely on the Lord and spend time worshiping Him.  Martha was not happy about that, but Mary's heart was definitely in the right place.  I don't know about you, but I would love to be known and be remembered as A Woman After God's Own Heart.
I am so grateful for where God has brought me from already and I look forward to where He is going to bring me to in my journey to becoming A Woman After God's Own Heart!

Blessings,
