Several weeks ago, I joined a small group at our church for women. After the first night, I was feeling a little overwhelmed because as a part of this small group we have: book lessons; verses to memorize; Bible reading; and prayer time to work on through the course of the week aside from our hour and a half meetings on Wednesday nights. I worried that I wouldn't be able to get the lessons, and all that it entails, done for the class while still being a wife, mom, nanny, cook, shopper, etc. I have found, though, that when I make it a priority to work on my lesson, God has been honoring that and I'm able to do much more in the day than expected!
As an example, yesterday I came home from nannying and tried putting Landon down for his nap. I kept hoping and praying that he would go down because I wanted to get my lesson done, among other things. I read to him, played with him, rocked him, changed him, and nursed him. He finally went down about an hour and a half later (3 pm). He napped until 6 pm!!! I was able to get my lesson done, do some housework, AND some scrapbooking. God is so faithful and He is more than willing to meet our needs when we surrender to Him!

thanks for the reminder!
You are so right! How easy it is to forget though.
sounds like a great study! What is it on? I'd like to do something like that, but don't have enough energy at the end of the day to go anywhere else.
Good to be reminded of God's faithfulness. That's why I put it on my wall...
The Study is He Speaks to Me by Priscilla Schirer (daughter of Tony Evans). It's 6 videos and then weekly lessons. I'd highly recommend it! She's a dynamic speaker.
