I am living and learning this Bible Study first hand. I have been preparing for this study for several months. I have all the devotionals on the website and hopefully someone will use them to their own benefit as well.
Today - I was hoping to have furniture and be settled in by the time the Bible Study came - I could be sitting in my chair and talking with you glads rested and ready for the lesson, well best laid plans!!!
I could have been upset just by the fact that the mover didn't call or show up, but he did stay he'd be here on Tuesday for sure. So that is tomorrow!!! The study talks about Martha and Mary and I have always been a Martha. I think in some ways God is showing me that "good" things are ok, but "BEST" thing is having a personal relationship with God. Taking God with me everywhere. So today... I started with looking for something to over this huge patio door. I believe the reason it is bare is it cost too much to cover. I could have spent anywhere from $750 dollars for blinds to $350.00 for drapes, which wouldn't arrive for weeks.
tot I had to do, but I had God with me on the ride.
I do regret one thing today. I saw a lady who was asking for help (money). I was busy trying to get directions to the next store and didn't help her.
So I ended up going to a merchandise store which I guess sells cheap items, but I found 90 inch long panels, I really need 94, but I took the hem out and it is almost 93 1/2. So just a little short, but the stool I purchased isn't tall enough to reach the hooks, so after I get furniture tomorrow - I can hopefully hang the rest. I'll show you the pictures. The panels were only $7.99 each or 4 for $32.00. Much better then hundreds $$$$$$. I will not win a better homes and garden prize, but it will work.
The next thing was I had to go back out tonight to get a utility knife or a box cutter for tomorrow. Anticipating my boxes to unload!!!! The first one I purchased would unscrew and it was very stubborn.
So this day could have been frustrating, but it really wasn't and I was able to do a load of clothes, get the hems pulled out of all the panels, get my handout ready for the Bible Study tomorrow night and record the message for those dialing in.
I also spent time in the word and with God today. It was a good day and I am glad for it. These days will soon be over - and I'll be working!!!
