Wednesday Night Ladies Class - Spring(ish) quarter

I have enjoyed studying with you all over the past several months, but unfortunately will no longer be able to teach on Wednesday nights. I have commitments with the new children's ministry strategy that will not allow me to do two things at once. I have tried the overbooking before and I always end up stressed out. We are in search of a new facilitator and I have no fear that one will be found. I have made some calls already and the class will continue, after all the world does not revolve around me anyway. :) I hope you all will be checking out and getting on board with the format changes for our children. I am excited to be a part of it and saddened only in that I will be missing my class time with you guys. Pray for these changes, change is rarely easy. Pray for me and my family. God is so big He can do it all, ask Him to help us know where to place our energies each day. The blogging will continue but will not be regular as in the past. I hope we will use it more and more as time goes on. Blessing to you all!!!

REAL Greatness

I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday season and a time for refreshing with family and friends. We have finished our study on authentic relationships, ending with real greatness. I want to remind us to define greatness not my the worlds standards of fame and power and wealth and success but rather by some one's ability to make the world around them great. That person may never make the cover of People but they will be truly great.

Some suggestions...

• Look at your "work" and find ways for your "work" to serve others. Start thinking of the things you do at work as helpful to others rather than just helpful to your checkbook.
• Find a ministry that allows you to serve others in a way that means something to you. Not everyone has had the same life experiences so not all ministries will speak to your heart, but I guarantee there is one out there that does.
• Look at some servant tasks at home. What are those things that No One wants to do at home? Bathroom? Kitchen? Litter Box? Do those in the spirit of Christ. It is possible to clean for Christ, give it a try. Serving others is serving Him, perhaps this will renew the thoughts and feeling on cleaning day. :)

Our next study will be on personal holiness. I am thinking about how I am going to do the blog for that study. Bring some comments to class and let me know. It may be that I do only one weekly post, before or after, with "homework" or questions, who knows...
