This is a great bible study. We are in Unit 2, but I wanted to share this quote from Unit 1:
"When you belive nothing significant can happen through you, you have said more about your belief in God than you have declared about yourself."

I know I need to write more often
God continues to minister to me in song. I've probably forgotten half of what I've wanted to post on here though because where I work blocks this website. I finally have finished graduate school and will graduate on May 5th.
Love Is Here by Tenth Avenue North
"Love is here.
Love is now.
Love is pouring from
His hands, from his brows.
Love is near, it satisfies.
Streams of mercy flowing from his side."
Find Me Tonight by Everyday Sunday
"Yesterday I could not feel this
Today I'm sick of trying
To live like I can't live on my own
This world around me is suffocating
I keep forgetting to turn and run into you...
Wherever I am won't you find me
I've got myself lost and
I don't think I want to be roaming in heartache
Please find me tonight
You speak without sound
Your love is so loud"
Fall In Line by Seven Places
"So sing it out now, with one voice loud and clear sing
Hallelujah, for our Redemption's near"
Colossians 1:11-13 ESV
"11 May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son"
I need to learn not to focus on circumstances but focus on God.
The other day (when I was working on my comprehensive final exam), an authority figure in my life told me "I know you will do well". This has really meant a lot to me since this particular person's opinion is important to me.
When does one learn to procrastinate and why? This is one thing I wish I could change in my life.
Excerpt from psychologytoday.com
"It's easy to tell whether you're a real procrastinator. According to Joseph Ferrari, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at De Paul University in Chicago, real procrastinators tell themselves five lies:
• They overestimate the time they have left to perform tasks.
• They underestimate the time it takes to complete tasks.
• They overestimate how motivated they will feel the next day, the next week, the next month -- whenever they are putting things off to.
• They mistakenly think that succeeding at a task requires that they feel like doing it.
• They mistakenly believe that working when not in the mood is suboptimal.
Procrastinators also actively look for distractions, especially ones that don't take heavy-duty commitment on their part. Checking e-mail is just about tailor-made for this purpose. The dirty little secret is that procrastinators distract themselves as a way of regulating their own emotions, such as fear of failure."
Yep, that's me.
I actually have a laundry list of habits and behaviors that I wish I could change.
I'm starting at Bible study at my church called "Experiencing God". So far it has been really great. I am learning a lot and I can't wait to see how God will work in my life through it.
