Halfway!

This week marked the halfway point in the current study....it's always good to know that we have gotten through some really rough stuff, and even tho' it's not "easy sledding" from here, the view from here is already so much better!  Last week as we talked and shared about anger, it reminded me of just how hard it is sometimes to connect with our anger and to realize where it really belongs.  Through the years I have dealt with anger numerous times....some more effectively than others, I have to admit...but for me it is always something that demands that I look deeper.  It's easy to see the immediate focus of my anger in the here-and-now, but usually it is rooted in something much deeper, and in order to really deal with it in a spiritually empowering way, that something deeper has to be addressed.  I HAVE gotten better about it over the years, but it is still something that I have to remind myself of when that feeling of anger starts to rise within me.

And so it was this week for a participant....I am always so in awe of how God orchestrates these sessions, and how He puts people in the class at a particular time in their lives and who He brings together!  My heart has been so burdened for this particular woman, but to see how she yearns for the truth the study brings, and how excited she is to see what God is going to do....well, it makes my soul rejoice!   The truth, God's truth, surely will set her free!
