November what happened? We were playing, having fun and now you are up and leaving....


Today:

- I'm sitting in the "Board Room" of my house working on an essay. I just hit the 500 word mark and am now back to doing some more reading. For all those curious here is the essay question "discuss how the Mission of God to all nations is reflected in the call of Abraham and in the nation of Israel, his descendants?"
I'm actually really enjoying it. Not the essay writing part- but more so the learning part of the Old Testament. Crazy stuff

- I'm also enjoying laughing at the sporadic outbursts of hard rain against the window behind me that lasts for 3 seconds and then gives up. Nature just wants me to come play- I get the hint.

- Last night of Life Group for the year tonight. Been a good year of friendship, laughs, encouragement and prayer, accountability and growth! Looking forward to chillin like villains.

- Am now wondering about the saying "chillin like villains" If I was a villain... I would not be chilling I would be in a constant state of panic and alertness. That's probably why I'm not a villain though..

- What else is going on in life: day by day pondering the mandate God has placed on my heart/life. And how exactly that will be displayed next year. Job wise/ Discipleship wise/ Extra responsibility wise... Who knows what i'll do/Where i'll go/Who i'll meet....

Life Is Fun Fun Fun! I can genuinely say that I am enjoying just being me. Right now I wouldn't have it any other way!

Deborah

Deborah- The ancient prophetess!

What a hero!
Deborah- was a woman of the faith by her own merits. She wasn't related or married to one of the men we know heaps about. She became great and highly regarded based solely on her faithfulness to her relationship with her God. In my eyes she was probably one of the greatest women in the Bible.

The story's part of the Old Testament where the Israelites are continually disobeying and turning from God, He raises up leaders (Judges) to guide His people back to Him. Deborah was one of these Judges. If you have time- read the story! I really enjoyed and appreciated learning about her today.

God- Thanks for heroes of the faith we can learn from xox

-> She's found in Judges 4 & 5.
