Start Up and Gear Up

Well, hopefully, you all will get your study books soon. And be able to read through the next two lessons.

I have to say how excited I am about our study group! And I hope that even you online will be able to pull the same connection and accountablity away from the study. Let your self be connected, let your thoughts come out online.

Tonight we covered an overcap of the first lesson:
That we can be compared to a company car- issued by God, not our property. Are you taking good care of the company car? Or has your lack of regular maintenace caused you to miss out on a few meetings or important dates?

It may take some time, but I strongly urge everyone to pick a few, if not read all of the scripture referances on pages 1.4 and 1.5 about instruction about our prayer life. I really learned a lot doing this! And I also challenge you to commit to praying for a specific sudject as listed here regularly for the duration of our study. My personal prayer life, does not reflect the biblical examples that Lynora shows us here.

We also talked about what we might be missing out on or forfieting because we are sick and tired. Our finacial impact would be very impressive - we all have different dreams and different types of people to help, if we weren't spending money on making our selfs sick, then healthy, then sick again.

Best Warranty Ever
If you are careful to follow these laws, then the Lord your God will keep His covenant of love with you... He will love you and bless you... He will bless the fruit of your womb... none of your men or women will be childless... the Lord will keep you free from every disease.

Deuteronomy 7: 12-16

Sounds pretty good to me! I am starting to wonder what laws this talks about though? I hope we find out soon. :)

I am excited to get deeper into this study- into the spiritual signifcance of eating and health. To feel that connection with my health and my happiness again- instead of continuing to ignore the routine maintenance that I know should be happening.

HOMEWORK for our next meeting next Wednesday 4:35pm

- Read Lessons 1 and 2 (we might talk about extending our study, so that we don't have to cover two weeks & maybe cover lesson 1 again- after everyone has read it - OR not and go on to lesson 2)

- Pick up either a McDonald's hamburger or french fries (from anywhere) (which is your your bigger temptation?) Just leave your item of choice out on your counter somewhere, you don't have to rewrap, refrigerate, freeze or do anything with it- just leave it to rot....

I did forget to do an activity in class SO I guess now you have it for homework! Sorry! PLEASE, write a prayer about what you want God to do for you through this class, seal your prayer in an envelope- you can either tape, staple or tuck your envelope with your Devoted Bible's book, or you can give it to me to hold onto. We will look at them later in the study.

I also need to pair each of you up with a support buddy. :) I will draw names out of a hat & email each of you your accountablitity partner. Please connect with your partner this week, even if it is just to say - how much I am annoying you with all this homework! :)
