10 Things You Might Not Know...

I got this off Beth Moore's blog...

Here are mine...

1. I have been wearing a bottom retainer to straighten out my teeth since September.  I rarely wear it in front of people though.  
2. I hate mornings...its best if you leave me alone.
3. I tend to be organized everywhere but my home
4. I have never been snow skiing
5. I cannot drive a stick shift car
6. I have never colored my hair...but looks like I am going to have to soon...too much gray
7. I do not like chocolate candy
8. I hate cleaning my bathroom more than anything
9. I hate high heels - I think they look great, but I cannot walk in them
10. I love reading and collecting recipes, but I rarely ever cook them

Ok, what are your 10 things?

Discipleship...

Tonight I begin a new adventure. An adventure that I hope will change my life. I am beginning a discipleship group. I am not leading the group (for the first time in a long time), I am a member of the group. I am really excited about this year commitment to the group. I am excited about sitting under the leader, Linda. Since I have been attending GFBC she has made a huge impression on me. She is a Godly woman and I am excited about learning under her.

I think this will stretch me and challenge me in a huge way.  I find it so easy to be complacent and comfortable in my walk with Christ.  I mean after all, I work for a ministry, I have it all together, blah, blah, blah...such a horrible and embarrassing excuse that we tell ourselves - we all tell ourselves these things in some form or another!  Well, I am tired of letting Satan say that to me.  So, I am going to do something to change that...

We will meet once a month and have lots of "homework" and other disciplines in our life.  Here is a preview of what we are going to do (I will find out what the rest of the year looks like tonight)...  
I.  Testimony
Be prepared to share your testimony.  You will have 5 minutes to share. Write it out and condense it.  Then write it out again... remember.. 5 minutes.  You are not sharing your story... you are sharing your testimony. EVERYONE will share... we will do this almost every time.   II. Read
Read Genesis 1-3
JOURNAL your thoughts and revelations.  You will bring your journal each time with you to refer back to.  ( I will never look at your journal.)
Ask yourself key questions while you read.  Where is the Lord? What is He doing? What is He saying about Himself, His character? What is He saying about you?  Don't skim over the verses.  Really read and listen.
READ... a good book. Less TV, more reading.  It keeps your mind sharp. Romance novels do not count... LOL III. Memorize
Isaiah 45:9-10, Eph 2:10, Gal 2:20 IV.Time
Assess your time and how you use it. Write it down... How much time do you spend in front of the TV, hanging out, working, computer, etc.  (Don't worry... I am not going to be telling you that you should walk around w/the Bible in your hand and never go to the movies... I just want you to have an idea of what you spend your time on and who you spend your time with..) You won't have to tell me, but this will be helpful to know when we get into learning spiritual disciplines. 


We will be going through different books of the Bible throughout the year and memorize different scripture each month.  


Looks like lots of intense stuff huh? At first glance, these seem like simple disciplines, but do we as Believers really put these into practice? So, this is what I will be doing the next year...want to join me?  Lets go deeper together and get disciplined!
