Commitment!

Anyone who knows me can tell you that once I commit to something, it sticks! At least in any case involving another person. When the commitment is just between God and me...I have a secret: I AM AFRAID OF COMMITMENT! So, I have joined 21,000+ other women (a couple of whom I actually KNOW) in an Online Bible Study. I am making a commitment to say YES to God! Normally, I would keep this to myself just in case I fall behind and let myself get completely left in the dust! Today, I realize that the one thing I have NOT done to keep myself accountable is announce it to the world so that I have people here to kick me into gear when I need it!

The book we are studying is called "What Happens When Women Say YES to God" by Lysa TerKeurst! I'm only a chapter in and it's incredible! It has me thinking about all the times in my life that I have seen someone in need, that voice in the back of my head telling me to DO SOMETHING! I am just now realizing that voice has a name. God was telling me to do something and I ignored Him. How awful does that sound? I ignored God! I thought I knew better than Him! There is something majorly wrong with that picture!

So, as I begin this Bible Study, I will commit to saying yes to God...no matter WHAT he asks me to do! I am starting today! My prayer throughout this journey and this commitment is that I can open myself up to actually LISTENING to Him! If I can do that, I can certainly do as He asks! Please pray for me AND for yourself that we can hear God's commands. If we can accomplish this together, we can change the world! I believe that with my heart and my soul! It's the small things that add up to make a MASSIVE difference in this world...just imagine what could happen if we started saying yes to the BIG things!
