Start Running!




Start Running

If you have been avoiding God because of an area of shame in your life, commit to run to God in the coming days and weeks. Choose one or more of the “Run to God” exercises from the check list below, journal them in the Study Guide or a notebook. Write about what God is teaching you through the one’s you’ve chosen.

  •        Run to God #1: Make a decision to be with our group at every session of the Unashamed study, even when you feel tempted to avoid it because the process might be getting difficult for you.
  • Join us Thursday’s at 8pm on our closed God’s Girls Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/692185037534989/


  •        Run to God #2: Commit to attend church weekly while you are walking through this study and seek to engage your heart, mind, and body fully in worship, even when you might feel some measure of shame or unworthiness.


  •        Run to God #3: Read a portion of the Bible each day and invite the Holy Spirit to speak to you, teach, and minister to you as you read.


  •        Run to God #4: Begin a journal in which you write down three prayers of praise each day: one for God’s love, grace, and goodness; another for someone in your life who is a blessing and joy; and a third for something about who God has made you and what He wants to do in and through you as His beloved child.


  •        Run to God #5: Read Psalm 139 each day for the next week. Slow down and meditate on verses 13 and 14, and say them out loud. Thank God that you are fearfully and wonderfully made!


  
When that shadow of shame lurks in the corners of our hearts, it holds us back from the fullness of all that God has for us...You can leave your guilt and your shame at the cross and you can move past your past.

God can and does redeem anything and He is able to turn all things around to work together for good (Read Romans 8:28)


 Blessings!

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

31 Days - Day 21

Today, I'm wondering where the time's going and what will I post?! My brain is on empty. So, what comes to mind at this time is Mandisa's song "Overcomer" which has been playing on the radio a lot lately. Jesus said in John16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Matthew Henry's Commentary on this verse: He comforts them with a promise of peace in him, by virtue of his victory over the world, whatever troubles they might meet with in it ( John 16:33 ): “ These things have I spoken, that in me you might have peace ; and if you have it not in me you will not have it at all, for in the world you shall have tribulation ; you must expect no other, and yet may cheer up yourselves, for I have overcome the world .” Observe: 1. The end Christ aimed at in preaching this farewell sermon to his disciples: That in him they might have peace . He did n...
