Not Done Yet

I just recently started a Beth Moore study, Living Beyond Yourself. Our church has a group who faithfully studies Beth Moore each semester, so I decided to join the Wednesday evening group.

I started a couple of weeks into the study so I am playing catch up. But I am sure glad I am doing this study. It is one of her first studies and the videos came along ten years later. It should truly be the first to do in her series. It is about the basics...living the fruit of the spirit in our everyday life.

While watching the first session video, she made a comment that I am keeping close to my heart. "If you're still drawing breath, you ain't done". Now how is that for truth!

I can easily get down in my day to day living. Sometimes I wonder, "Is this it?" You know what I mean, the daily duties of wife, mother, colleague....it is easy to lose sight of the prize at the end of our journey.

"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:14

God has each of us here for a reason. Part of that reason is to be a loving wife, mother, colleague and so many other roles. I needed to hear that truth that yes, I'm still breathing, and I ain't done!

Today I Am Thankful For:

1. coffee
2. rocks that fall out of small shoes
3. the gym
4. feeling my body start to feel good
5. colored pens

Hey, I love coloured pens, too!! Just bought a pack of 12 cute little mini gel pens for my girls!

I've heard SO many wonderful things about this book, study, and author and yet never actually read any of her stuff. It's on my Amazon wish list, so hopefully I'll get at least one of her books for Christmas!
