Can you all read this and tell me two things, does it catch your interest and do you see any mistakes?? What a morning! I’m sitting in my car because I left my office keys at home. That makes it mighty hard to open the door. Nothing like sitting in the parking lot having to wait for someone to come and open the door. Thankfully, I only have to wait 30 minutes until Dana, our receptionist comes in.
As I’m sitting here it strikes me that I have lived my spiritual life like this, waiting on someone to come and open the door for me. I still vividly recall as a young (not in years per say) Christian every time I needed to know where a verse was I had to call Eloise. She always seemed to have the answer. But it made me dependent on her, if I couldn’t get a hold of her I was smack out of luck, I had to wait. Just like I am waiting now, impatiently.
A couple of weeks ago when I first started talking to Ms. Kitty about doing this study, I knew God wanted to do it but I didn’t have a clear picture of where we would be heading. I had a general idea that it would have something to do with God fighting for verses our natural tendency to fight with. We fight with our husbands, our kids, our co-workers, and sometimes even with the people in the next car. Not God though He fights for us, for our families, for our friends, for our jobs, always for.
But it wasn’t until this morning as I’m sitting here that I realized He wants to give us the keys so we can get busy fighting for with Him. You know when you have the keys, you no longer have to wait on someone else, you see a need and you can
respond..
But when you don’t have them, you’re like I am, sitting in a parking lot knowing I could be doing something, but not able to. That begs the question, what will these keys look like?
The keys are:
Who are we in Christ?
How do I walk worthy as one who has been called?
Faith
Standing
Learning to use my weapons.

So if you find yourself fighting with people join us and lets take some new keys. Opening a new door of fighting for!
I hope you will decide to join us starting on Wednesday nights
October 22nd thru Nov. 19th. We will be meeting during AWANA'S in the ladies trailer. Or you can join us online here.
Oh, here is Dana, gotta run!

That definitely matches my interests, and I don't see any mistakes. That is a great attention grabbing poster.
I'll definitely be checking this study out with you.
God Bless,
Amy:)
Great poster, I don't see any mistakes and I checked it really closely!
Sounds like a great study, wish I could join you but you are a bit far away!
This is a very interesting post. Brings important "self" questions to light.
I totally understand where you are coming from. I always call my sister to get scriptures
You add looks great. I didn't see any mistakes- and it is catchy
that poster looks great. It does capture the attention.
This sounds really good. I think the poster looks great and it really gets your attention.
Are you doing the bible study through your blog or is there another link? I would like to be apart...if possible.
