It's been quite some time since I have shared any
S.O.S.
{it's had different meanings}
but most often and lately
it has stood for
Study On SONday
(especially if it's posted Sun. around 6 p.m. like this)
however originally
SOS
was thought to stand for "help" as in "Save Our Ship" even "Save Our Souls" as a distress signal yet those were after thoughts (known as backronyms) yet on this blog, it stood for
SOAKING ON SONDAY
with a song, scripture, scene and later added sermon and studies
but I have digressed from the reason I've not been sharing any
SOS
it's not because I am not doing any
STUDY
nor that I don't have a song, scripture, scene or something that I'm soaking in/on
it's because I have too many and have gone in
too many directions
yet somehow God is weaving them together
or else I'd be sending out a real
S.O.S.
for HELP from
you and God
as I'm still being
"REDEEMED"
(yes, that is the last study I began sharing
but have not kept up with that here)
Here are the sessions:
but I now have a worse dilemma:
I have two or maybe more that I have signed up for this summer
starting soon (I think) in June and
perhaps you remember that I paused midstream in
"You Are Free"
by Rebekah Lyons
(hoping I'd be able to get back to it and finish it)
so that I could start
"REDEEMED" by Angela Thomas-Pharr
mostly because I can't choose
when I read about the Online Bible Study
I'm sure it's the ONE that God is leading me to do until ...
I read the next one that comes along
after I already signed up
but
one of these is one that I purchased quite some time ago
and decided that I couldn't do it because as I opened to the beginning, I felt that I needed the DVDs to go with the study to really be able to do it and now I'll have that opportunity so I don't want to miss out and because it's Lifeway's Beth Moore's:
A Study of 2nd Timothy
(which contains my life verse)
| "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (NKJV) 2 Timothy 1:7 You see, God did not give us a cowardly spirit but a powerful, loving, and disciplined spirit. (TheVoice) |
They ALL are so good and I'm thankful that they are being offered online
but not all at once ... yet truthfully, I don't think I've ever seen
a Bible Study that isn't good, just some speak to us more clearly
in the current season of our life journey and where we're at ...
so I guess this is an indication that I need this other one too
the other choice over at
Faith Gateway OBS
is an excellent one from another excellent author
Anne Graham Lotz
WE ALL NEED
PRAYER
and
the wisdom offered through the book of Daniel, his prayer and
Anne Graham Lotz
who was Chair of the National Day of Prayer
(if you missed hearing her, I recommend strongly you check this out)
[the National Prayer]
plus over at You Version, I'm working through
CHANGE and now HOLY EMOTIONS ...
and I have more saved to read
all of these helping me with
HEALING
which one is for you?
which one do you think is for me?
Pray that I can receive from God what He believes is meant to guide me
<><><>
And I can't believe that there is actually ANOTHER study that I must share ...(that's besides Margaret Feinberg's (Philippians) and Bonnie Gray's book club (Whispers of Rest) and probably others too) ... by another outstanding author with the OBS ministry of Proverbs 31: Jennifer Rothschild's "Me, Myself and Lies" ... boy, oh, boy ... like I wrote above: too many really good and needed studies this summer and very difficult to choose between them for me. God's working overtime to offer so many ways to HEAL ... that's what these studies offer besides the actual study and content - ways to heal and grow beyond where you are with a better understanding of God's Truth. I'm pretty sure that "Entrusted" will take most of my 'extra' time, but I hope to follow along with the others as able.
{beginning to think I really need Bonnie's on "...Rest..." after all this, so I ordered it}
