"The Lord speaks; many many woman spread the news"

The Beth Moore simulcast on saturday reniewed my faith and helped me realize I needed to repent my unbelief/unfaithfullness!  Some of my notes/thoughts from the day:

2 Kings 4: 1&2, 8-12
I heard this story from Beth and saw it in a whole new light.  Girl A had "almost nothing", Girl Z "almost everything".  Where am I?  I think I go back and forth all the time, to be honest.  Some days I feel desperate, hopeless, poor... and other days I feel rich, confident, thankful.  But I realized that whichever girl I feel like, I ALWAYS need to have faith in God and share my life with him.  What a reminder Beth instilled in me.

She had 7 majoy points she went through:

1.  Personal desperation can jar us out of second hand stories

2.  God didn't call us to "fine", he called us to "faith".

3.  Fear is the crippler of a walking, talking, miracle.

4.  Faith trusts that every call to forsake is a call to also take.

5.  Faith faces the fact that there is no formula.

6.  Faith rests it's case on the resurrection of the dead.

7.  Nuts!  I didn't write this one down:(  I'll have to get it from someone soon.

Over time, I want to go through these points, ponder and write notes about them, pray about them...
