Not many know but I attended bible college for almost two years back when I was much younger. It was a really good experience, I won’t go into the details of why I decided to leave as its a long story. But it is one that has taken me on a life adventure with my earthly partner, my best friend, my hubby. With that aside I mention the Bible College thingy only because its my hearts desire for God to use me wherever He can and I always felt that no I would not be a pastor or anything like that but I did want to dig deep and learn more and hopefully share that with others. So around this time last year I decided I wanted to do an online bible study for women… there isn’t one that I know of or can get too with all the farming, so this was a good opportunity. I invited a few ladies that I thought might enjoy it and they invited a few ladies as well.
So with all of life’s challenges in 2020 it started and then got put aside because providing an essential service for my island customers was important. Anyone that knows what a farmers life is like will understand that because it is busy, so busy. Anyways, its been on my mind so often and I just knew I had to get back to the group, I was hungry and I know the ladies are as well. So the armor of God has been on my heart essentially since I started the group but I was not sure how to get there. I went online and did a bit of research and I found this study by Priscilla Shirer. Its good, really good. So the last couple weeks the ladies and I have been engaging in our online study. Its awesome I set up a room on the fb page and we meet once a week. Digging deeper and learning has been so rewarding. It kinda takes me back to my SGT days when we would have weekly bible studies at youth or college and careers. I remember Ruth Crawford, she was one if our leaders and she was a really good leader, I learned a lot in a time of my life when I was hurting and struggling so bad just to live each day.
So getting back to the study. We did part one, section 2 tonight, I was kinda scared and at the same time excited about doing it. I am so glad I was obedient, it was deep. It’s definately one thing I can do with out too much complications. I also love singing and I am trying to teach myself guitar. My heart would like to see me be part of or lead worship at the church but there are no musicians per say in our small farm community church…. God help me please. I have always wanted to be a part of a worship team, but I never got a chance back in ON, maybe I will get a chance here.
So if you get a chance follow your dreams, dream big and listen to the voice of God and let him use you. I hope that God puts dreams in your heart and pray that you have the courage to follow through with them…. I believe we are in the last days time and who knows exactly how much time we have left. Do something good, don’t procrastinate and follow your dreams♡♡
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
