Being Schooled

Chapter reading, lectures, homework, oh my! Will all that I am learning stick with me? It seems as if I am being flooded with new thoughts, ideas, and even understand old truths on a much deeper level! The list is long. But I must say I an basking in the wonder of it all. I want to sit in this kind of sunshine and have it soak into my skin and remain with me. Please, Lord, make it happen!

Have you ever had times in your life when you were involved in different events and yet all seemed to intersect at some point or even all together? That has been my week!

First of all Bible Study has been sitting in Chapter 6 of the book of the Prophet Isaiah. It is an awe inspiring chapter to just read, but digging deep and seeking to hear God speaking to me made my eyes widen, my ears perk up and heart race with the knowledge that this chapter was not just about Isaiah and the people of Israel, but it was meant for me.

I was inspired by the Seraphim who covered their faces and feet in humility before The Almighty, but used two of their wings to fly and maneuver to do His bidding. The idea of humility and confidence in doing God's will shows up again in a later. lesson.

God is the one True King over all. It is through His burning fires that we are cleansed and made able to answer His call. And finally when God says go I am not to give up until He completes the task through me.

Next came the messages of this past Sunday's sermon. Through Pastor Dustin's big shoes analogy I realized that I do not need to be big, but I am walking in big shoes. Jesus told us we would do works like he did and even greater....see John 14:12. The unity of the big of Jesus and the small of me will make the impact my business was intended to make. I am blown away! Here again was the combination of being confident in God and humble in myself.

Finally, through the Faith & Fiber Business Summit, I am learning to do business with Jesus, not just for Him. He is my business partner that I depend upon. He is the guide taking me in the right direction.

This school is not easy. It is going deep into my past. It is hopeful and rewarding. I don't expect to ever graduate, but that is okay. I have an eternity to learn to work with God and to serve Him in humility and confidence!
