Not Gonna Share Tonight

It's midnight and I'm finally sitting down in the living room on the recliner under a blankie. I haven't had a chance to do this in DAYS!! I've been crazy busy with cakes lately. I don't think I have another cake for about 2 weeks. At least that's what the calendar says. I often get cake orders a few days before they are needed so it's possible that I'll be getting orders. Still it feels great to have my calendar a little more open. It takes hours to make a cake. The Curious George cake I made for Saturday took me EIGHT hours. That's normal.

Anyway, with the help of the Holy Spirit I realized something on Saturday and I had intended on blogging all about it. If I had had the time this morning I would have blogged about it then. Now it's evening and I'm just not feeling it anymore. Maybe that was God's way of telling me that this is not the time to open up completely and share specifics.

What I can tell you is that the Lord showed me several areas in my life that I am trying to control on my own. That I'm not giving over to Him and that are a MESS! I am thankful that the Lord is working in my life and that He has promised that he will be with me and give me strength to change. It will be a long road and won't change over night but I look foward to sharing testimony along the way about how the Lord has guided, strengthened, and answered.

I REALLY wish I was in a ladies Bible study. You know... one where you get a workbook from Lifeway, do the study on your own, and then meet weekly with ladies to discuss the chapter from that week?? I haven't been in a group like this since October 2009. I miss the fellowship with other Christian ladies. I need the intimate support that you get from this sort of group. I need that one night out a week. Perhaps I'll have to start my own.

MBC usually has a ladies bible study in the fall. you could check with linda parsons or connie bernard to see if anyone's mentioned them. i LOVE them too, and haven't done one since jan 08.

if you're willing to lead one at mbc, call connie bernard (head of women's ministry) and chat with her! :)

I wish I could be in a Bible study with you. :) I guess an 1 1/2 hr drive each way might be an obstacle.
