"You will see your teacher with your own eyes, and you will hear a voice say, "This is the way; turn around and walk here." Isaiah 30:20b-21
It's almost here! Our first Friday of It's No Secret! It is a Happy New Year!
This post is just a quick reminder of your assignment for this week with a suggested time line, if you need it :)
Tuesday: Read the Introduction to INS (pgs 17-23).
Wednesday: Read Chapter 1, "Always RSVP" and answer the questions at the end of the chapter.
Thursday: Read Chapter 2, "Know When to Pay Retail" and answer the questions. If you don't have time to do all of the questions for chapter 2, focus on # 1, 3, 4, 6, & 7.
OR Do the 32 pages of reading today (intro, ch 1 & ch 2), do chapter 1 questions on Wednesday and chapter 2 questions on Thursday.
Any Day: post on the blog a favorite quote or revelation you found during your reading. This blog is like the knitting needles and you are the yarn: the blog is a tool to knit us together in love. ("My goal is that they will be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love." Col 2:2a)
I am looking forward to reading your comments about the first week's assignment! You are each on a unique journey and will find something that speaks to you!
Your Partner in Ministry,

Ok, I'll get the commetns going! If you could look at my journal and book, you'd see that there is much about the first 32 pages of this book that I like. But, the thing that really jumped out at me was, "Likewise, befriending Jesus-drawing close to Him over time-develops our ability to recognize His still, small voice. ...enabling us to understand His meaning when that used to float right over our heads." pg. 21. It seems to answer that question of, "how do I know this is God speaking to me or God's will for me?".
Finally starting to do the reading! Breezed through the intro and into the first chapter. I am really enjoying the conversational style. Looking forward to tomorrow morning!
Thank you all for a great start to our study! If you haven't had the chance to do all the reading, don't worry, you can still catch up! And let me urge you to spend time with the questions at the end of the chapters because, "befriending Jesus-drawing close to Him over time-develops our ability to recognize His still, small voice." pg. 21 of INS.
And that list of excuses from Question #2 of Chapter 1: I pray you gain the strength to lay them at our Lord's feet, give them up to God and come to understand, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible." Matthew 19:26. We all have excuses, just don't let them stop you from going to the party!
Remember to post your favorite quote or something that stood out to you from the first week's reading. Even if you shared it live Friday morning, post it here too, to keep us all connected.
Love to you all!
