So I started this new Bible study at church this morning...Discerning The Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer. I have to say, I just got my book this morning and I am already so excited about the next 6-7 weeks of it! It is incredibly awesome and has really made me think. How often do I just sit and listen to God? I can answer that pretty quickly! With 3 noisy little girls running around, not very often. And something I have learned already from this study is that I need to be expecting to hear God. I honestly don't know if I have ever approached Him expecting Him to answer me. I mean, I know He answers prayers, but have I ever actually anticipated hearing His voice? I'm not sure...
I think that I will be blogging about my experience with this study as I dig deeper and learn more.
We could use some prayers. It looks like our household is going to be affected by the economy after all. Well, I mean in the job aspect. For a while we were thinking we might actually be all right, as Adam's job was looking pretty safe. However, they have decided to bleed the line dry, and then shut down until they get more orders. This means that he will be working for about 4 more weeks, and then be off for who knows how long. Scary! I know that God will provide and I know it's not a coincidence that I just started this new study this morning! So please, pray for us. Our marriage is already kind of struggling, and it really doesn't need this on top of everything else! Thanks!
