Oops! Sorry I forgot to post an assignment for this week! If anyone is still with me, I am hoping to post about chapter 12, 13, and 14 this week. Three chapters each week seems to be one too many during these busy summer weeks! I can hardly believe it!
Of course, I will continue to keep my list AND to take time to praise the Lord for his attributes and the way he relates to me, His child. The other day when I had my "praise-fest" it made all the difference in the world for getting me out of the pit I had jumped into! So I will continue to praise. Sometimes, I need my NOW changed. Praising God changes my NOW in a radical way.
I confess to you that I haven't made my reading and posting here the priority that I feel in my heart I should, so choose in THIS "now" moment to get back on track. I will post about chapter 12 later today, chapter 13 on Friday and 14 on Saturday.
I hope you are hanging in there with me!
I could easily beat myself up for "failure" in being a "good" online study leader. Instead, I am going to lean on the Lord, allow His grace to flow over me...and press forward NOW.
You can, too, if you find yourself in a similar spot!

You are an EXCELLENT on-line leader. I may be a bit behind, but your assistance has made all the difference to me. Just your giving yourself so much is good.
Yes, Praise is always beneficial to me. Sometimes, I fight it because I do not want to give it the time, but always when I get started with a 5 minute session, the Spirit just leads me and before I know it, 20 minutes has passed and I feel so rejuvenate and ready to go. So full of his joy. God is always faithful, one of his attributes I just love. I love all of his attributes, but his love, mercy, and faithfulness are those I need and feel all the time. Just knowing he is always there is such a comfort, even when I am 'naughty'. He may discipline - but he never condemns. Praise God, yeah!!!!
And you Heidi, just knowing I can jump in and read your leadings, and they you will take the time to 'listen', what a gift.

Hi, Madaline. You have the spiritual gift of encouragement! Thank you for blessing me with it! :-) Still praying for your situation, Madaline. I am so sorry to have heard what happened to you while you were gone. Gosh...how frightening. Much love sent your way...
We have to encourage each other, that is what 'family' members do, and our Father certainly wants us to.
Thanks for the prayers.

Hi, Heidi,
I'm a new person, just starting to follow TW. I am reading your current postings but also catching up reading everything. Everything. I'm in 2008! Thank you for posting so much and for leaving it for people like me to find years later.
Blessings,

Olivia! THANK YOU for sharing this! You have encouraged me so much. I am glad you are along for the ride no matter where you are in the reading of my "brain barfings" here on the blog. Prayers for your journey ~ Heidi
