Lessons Learned

Wow so where to start...
First off I just feel so renewed after this weekend being able to fast and pray on Thursday, then on Friday got to have some major God time while enjoying His creation! Then got to have some amazing fellowship with the campus crusade girls in the Dells! Then came back and got some rest which was needed! Rest is fully essential in our walk with God, because if we do not get it we are not prepared for his way and we are just worn out, and do not have the strength or energy that we could have had. It is important to be ready!

Ephesians 6:13 "Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm."

I encourge you to read the rest of that passage...but even though rest is not included in this, if you are not rested then you are not ready for battle! (in my opinion)

There has been a few things tonight, and even these past few days, that God has been showing me. For one, how we are all apart of this one body, and each part is essential to the other! Without the others we alone are in a sense nothing, but together we can do God's work! (see Ephesians 4:15-16)
And then He just keeps reminding me I am FREE and should have no fear! (see Psalm 118:4-9; Romans 8:1-2; 2 Timothy 1:7)
I have started a small group and it is on fear. So I have been focusing on my fears, and truly I have never realized how much it consumes my life on a daily basis. This fear takes away time from my life, and what I should be focusing on instead is God. He has freed me from these things and everything else, and I praise Him for that! :)
