So I’ve been going to a Bible study.
The hearty kind.
Verse by verse.
Chapter by chapter.
It’s like a Thanksgiving feast every week.
But I keep leaving stuffed.
Instead of a stomach ache
I leave with my head spinning.
Full of information.
I take notes.
During the study all these ideas
are coming to mind.
Great points that really are relevant
to my life
to where I’m at today.
But then I leave.
And it’s just so much.
Same thing at church on Sunday.
I go thinking
if I just get one thing out of it today
then that will be more than enough to
work on
for the day, week, month, year, lifetime.
Then I hear the message
and there’s so much more than one thing.
Then it’s a struggle to even remember one thing.
I keep meaning to go back to my notes.
But just haven’t.
So tonight I’m hoping to actually
do that.
And let all that good information
be digested
and put to use.

Angie, I woke up and was thinking and praying for you and Nolan as I often do. God put you on my heart, so I got up to check on you once again. Wanted to let you know how amazing you are and how lucky little Nolan is to have such a great mom. You have used this difficult time in your life to let God strenghtn you in your daily walk with him and that is sooo amazing. Keep up the good work with your bible studies and letting God use you in such a powerful way. You have blessed so many people and God is doing great things through you! And remember things will get better day by day and God is always by your side. Love, DEnise Scott

It was great to see you this afternoon at pick-up. I sincerely hope that Nolan loved VBS as much as my kids do. It is amazing to have them love something from God so much that they WANT to go, instead of dragging them there.
I hear what you are saying about the info. I too, am in a comprehensive study during the school year and I love it. As for what I do with it???? Well, it is amazing the way God works that in too. You may not use it all today, tomorrow or next week, but when you need to remember it, when you need that verse or point, it comes to you almost like Magic. That is ONE of the things I love about God, He knows what we need when we need it, and I think that as long as we are faithful learners, He won’t let us down!
I hope to see you the rest of the week!

Angie- I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you and your son Nolan today. You don’t know me, I’m a friend of a friend, but I have just had you in my thoughts. I still think about pain you’ve gone through and the road ahead. I can only imagine. I pray that you won’t feel lost and that you’ll be able to focus and find direction.

Continuing to lift up prayers for you!
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

I’ve had a lot of those episodes too Angie. Sometimes everything I took in gets too much for me that I just had to share. I guess it would be helpful if you could talk about it to someone… or yeah, put it into practice. In my experience, there were times after my bible study that God really gives me opportunities to use what I have learned. I pray that you’d be able to apply the word in your life. Your life is an encouragement to me.

Oh Angie! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who has this problem. I feel like that all the time! God keeps showing me so many things, so many areas to work on, and revealing things somehow hidden to me before… it’s awesome and overwhelming all at the same time.
