So Long Insecurity - Week Eight
Happy Maundy Thursday Sweet Ones! I wanted to get our assignment for this next week posted before the day was over. We will only have two more discussion weeks and there are five chapters left to read in So Long Insecurity. We will read three chapters this week and two next week per Beth's instructions.
Also, if anyone is interested in attending the live Beth Moore simulcast with me, please let me know. I will be attending at the First Church of God in Mt. Sterling, KY on April 24, 2010. You can check Living Proof Ministries website to see a number of host churches who are taking part in the simulcast and find one in your area. I highly encourage you to take advantage of this great opportunity. You will be forever changed!
Here is our assignment for this week:
Read Chapters 14, 15 & 16 and answer the following questions:
1) As you surely noticed, Chapter 14 is more of a testimony than a teaching but it concludes with a charge to deal with our female insecurities for the sake of young girls coming up behind us. Briefly describe someone who is worth doing what it takes to you to live abundantly and effectively in Christ. Help us picture her so that she inspires us, too. Needless to say, don’t share more than she’d want you to.
2) I wish we could discuss all of Chapter 15 in person but this is the next best thing. Name a couple of ways pertinent to your sphere of life and influence that you could look out for your own gender in our battle with insecurities. In other words, how can you (not others but you in particular) start becoming part of the solution in your female relationships rather than default into part of the problem. No condemnation here. Goodness knows, we’ve all been both. Our challenge is to learn to be deliberate. How are you prepared to do that?
3) I can’t wait to see your answers to this one. Based on Chapter 16 and the challenge to look past ourselves, what is your passion? If you don’t have one presently, don’t feel pressured or unnerved. You might be too deep in toddlers or school work to think past the urgent. Those things are priority and need to be your passion right now. If, however, you long for something that makes you feel fully alive and part of something specific God is doing for the greater good, ask Him to nurture that vision in you. It will be ultimately be the key to life on the outskirts of self-absorption. Keep in mind, your passion may not be anything you’re currently engaged in. Maybe you don’t have the opportunity to participate right now. Maybe it’s just in dream-form. Or maybe it’s just a place God has tendered your heart. Try to give it a name. What is something outside of yourself that you feel passionate about?
Have a blessed Easter weekend and celebrate our risen Savior! Enjoy this wonderful time with your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Blessings,
Elisabeth
