I go to Women’s Bible Study on Wednesday. I always feel so good when I leave there. Listening to other women talk about God and their relationship with Him. It is so revitalizing to me.

I don’t spend enough time with Him. I really want to get back to reading my Bible daily and having my quiet time. I am not sure when I would do that but I would like to.

We are reading a really good book currently. Honestly there has not been a book I have not liked but this book really speaks to me. It is called, “Having a Mary Spirit” by Joanna Weaver.

Now I have never liked writing in books. There are so many things I would love to highlight in the book but I struggle with marking up a book. I was raised that you just don’t do that to books. Maybe it goes all the way back to childhood – okay now I am just way over-analyzing this.

I look at all these other women and their books. They have highlighter, pen, red marks, stars and whatever noting things. It just amazes me really!

Today though was a very interesting day. We were really talking about sin. Well a lot of our Bible study’s have to do with sin actually and how to be a better person. But while listening to them today this meant so much (from page 129):

Perhaps the most important step we can take in guarding our hearts is to allow God to establish boundaries and border in our lives: deciding ahead of time what we’ll allow ourselves to see, hear and do.

For when we allow God to help us establish personal convictions based not on popular opinion or what everyone else is doing but on His Word, we will not only begin to think biblically, but we will also live biblically.

I am who I am because of the choices I have made in my life. I am who I am because of the consequences I have had to pay for the wrong choices. I am who I am because along the way I decided God was to be in my life.

I still make bad choices but with His grace I will be okay. I ask for forgiveness and attempt to not do it again. There are times though that I know sin is sin and I ask for forgiveness and yet I do it again. I have struggled with that there for a long time. Because I was always taught when you ask for forgiveness since you know something is wrong – you don’t do it again. That isn’t how it works though – sometimes it isn’t just something you can ask forgiveness for and then never do again!

We all sin and the thing is God does know how many times we are going to do that sin. I probably have written this before but I kind of see Him making off this list of how many times I will do it and Him counting down to the point when I don’t do it anymore.

God is good. He sent His son to this world for me. The cross was put there for me. He sacrificed His only son for me! Wow.

I want to live for Him. I want to be Christian and I want to live for Him because of the love I have for Him.

Wednesdays are a good day.
