So I am really loving my Women's Bible Study at my church on Weds nights. I was wanting to meet people and get connected since I don't know that many people at my big church, and it is really helping.
We're doing a study on becoming Women of Excellence and I cannot tell you how much I needed this! I am learning so much and growing, well hopefully growing, as a result of it! I have met so many wonderful women of all age groups and experiences and I LOVE hearing their take on scripture and where they are at in their lives and walk with God.
Tonight we talked about Discretion. Whew, boy howdy, did I ever need this chapter! I was hoping we could spend a few weeks on it because I knew I really needed it!
When I think of discretion I think of my Mom, she never says anything improper and always has a graceful classy way about her. I aspire to be like that but am sadly nowhere close.
What I got out of tonight was about TALKING. I do alot of talking. And I've realized, thanks to our discussion, that I don't do very much listening. As one girl said, when people are talking to me or telling me their problems, I am allready forming my response in my head and figuring out how to tell them my opinion or jump in with something of my own. I never realized how WRONG and selifsh that was untill tonight! Its as bad as gossiping!
SO that is something I am really going to try and work on. I got to put it into action on the phone tonight, I think God was testing me!!! :) And for once I just LISTENED.
