Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.
But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind
and straining toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the goal to win the prize
for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14
Are you planning to join us for the new bible study tomorrow? I hope you will! Come on by the blog and, hopefully, be encouraged.
What do you need to forget about the previous miles in your journey? What do you need to focus on in order to move forward? Will you? 🙂
I am learning all over how to set goals. I used to set them too lofty or too ill defined. Failure was always near. Thanks to Heidi, Barb Raveling, and my wonderful husband I am on the road to realistic goals to run the race toward. Thanks also to God who is always so patient with me and is waiting for me at the finish line.
Joyce! It thrills me to read this. I am so glad to hear it. God is faithfully teaching us so much as we draw closer to him. 🙂
I am thankful that I am learning a new way of thinking. This time I am starting a book study instead of a diet. Before all of my eggs were in the basket of weight loss. Now I am seeing that what I really want is a behavior modification program that begins with renewing my mind and heart and growing in my relationship with The Lord.
Me, too, Lynn. Yes! We are learning so much as we allow God to renew our minds and to change our thinking. I LOVE the way Barb has made this practical. I hope we can keep that approach up as we launch into the new study tomorrow!
I am looking forward to the new Bible study as I have already changed for the better with this last Bible study. Thank you! To move forward, I will continue to fight lies with truth. I am amazed at how I have lived believing so many lies in just about every area of my life. If it weren’t for this Bible study I don’t think I would have realized this. Thanks so much.
Me, too, Lisa. It really IS amazing. God is so faithful. He says in John 8:32 that knowing the truth sets us free. That really is true! 🙂
Heidi, I am doing the study as much as I can but I cannot afford to get the book that goes along with the study right now.
