The Significant Women-Part 1

          I have meant to write this entry for a couple of weeks now but things came up and other ideas came up that I didn't want to forget so I wrote them down instead. I started a Bible Study back a couple of weeks ago that a friend of my shared with me about a year ago but I was so busy until now I thought I couldn't do it but it was God's prefect timing because I need it now. The Bible study is called "The Significant Women".
          I thought "oh, yeah I'll take it because I have the time and there is no other Bible study that I like this semester or that I seem to need to be taking" so I did and God is working so much through it with me. It is like I know what I know about myself but now I am writing it down and it is there to see and stay. It is finding your own personal mission statement and the little goal statements that you can take to make it happen. It reminds you that you are God's jewel and that you are unique. There are 6 lessons in it and it is cute the way the author puts the lessons.
          She spells out the word" Pearls" with each lessons. "P" is for Pursue your Uniqueness". 'E' is for Embrace the Source. 'A' is for Active your mission. 'R' is for Refocus your life. 'L' is for Live Intentionally. Last but not least, 'S' is for Sustain for life. I have already missed one of the lessons and that was last Sunday but still did the homework and just the homework itself makes you think a lot. I am getting more from the homework then I am the teaching that I'm going to on Sunday mornings.
           It is just good to have it in written form where you can't not take it back and it is a good reminder to check your small goals every 3-6 months to see where you are in those. See if you need to change them or not. I'm trying to save my mission statement and all that I'm learning for another entry after the study is over but I just wanted to let people know more of what I have been doing and that I am trying to refocus my life a lot. It has been out of order with my job position and worrying about my job. I have just been job focused lately and that is really bad on so many levels.
           Don't get me wrong I LOVE my job but there are only so many things we can do as humans. There is a limit believe it or not and when we are focused on God we can do more. Changing positions is not as easy as I thought it would be for so many reasons personally but again I love it and would never go back to the position I had. Where I am now is the right spot for me so I want to build my life around that spot again and get back in touch with friends and activities that I use to do before I started this job because I can. I want to be more adventurous and help out more places and people but yet have time for myself, friends, and family.
           I'll let you in on the plan I am making for myself through this class in the next few weeks so keep looking for an update to this one.
