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...
