I have had a wonderful night! I began a bible study a little over a month ago. I was down and trying to find something to fill my time. I had also been trying to find my way into a closer relationship with God. So, I asked a friend of mine who is always in some sort of bible study if she knew of one I could attend. Well of course she did. So now I'm studying The Patriarchs with Beth Moore.

I've always heard how wonderful Beth Moore's studies are, but attending a Catholic church I never had a chance to experience one. I am so blessed to have gotten this opportunity. She, Beth Moore, is wonderful. She is funny and real! She is the ultimate reality chick!

This week's lesson was on Isaac and his marriage to Rebekah. Actually it was on the beginning of their relationship. God is a romantic! This story rivals any romantic novel I've read!! We also began learning about Abraham's other son, Ishmael, and is connection to the Muslim religion. It is all so fascinating!

As I was listening and reading tonight I began to get excited and feel at peace. I have mentioned in previous blogs that I am in a transition in my life and I believe I've mentioned my transitioning relationship with God. Well, let me tell you, He is real and alive and working in my life.

I've struggled lately with what to write. I've wanted to keep things real, but I've not been comfortable writing what's been real in my heart. The reason is because God has been trying to get me to write about Him and what he's doing for me. I have been resisting this for a variety of stupid reasons! I'm not going to resist anymore. God has shown me, by hitting me in the head over and over again, that I am supposed to share my relationship with Him with you. I praise Him for continuing to hit me over the head until I finally got His message!

I'm not saying everything I write about will be God specific, but whatever I write about will be what He wants me, us, to know.

Peace is a wonderful thing!
