So I am starting the bible study next week & I am so excited!!! I want to share with you an email I just sent to my bible study gals:
Hi Gorgeous Ladies!!
When I knew God was calling me to this study I was determined to pour my heart out no matter what so you may get sick of me until these next several weeks are done.~just sayin' 
Right now I'm sitting here at my computer getting ready to do my Jillian Michaels DvD
and I'm reflecting on the day. Things didn't go the way I wanted them to go and my emotions were throwing their usual fit and I started complaining allowing my mind to think whatever it wanted when it hit me:
James 1:4
New International Version (NIV)
4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything
per·se·ver·ance
[pur-suh-veer-uhns] Show IPA
noun
1.
steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement. → ESPECIALLY IN DIFFICULTIES OR DISCOURAGEMENT!! I was discouraged and Satan absolutely wanted to take advantage of that
2. Theology . continuance in a state of grace to the end → GRACE- a manifestation of favor, especially by a superior ; ummmm HELLO?!?!? Superior is GOD AND HE GAVE ME THE GRACE TO SHUT UP AND STOP THROWING MY FIT!!!!!
I need to be persistent because God has wonderful plans for me and I'm not missing out! Heck no I've missed out on too much already! Ladies this journey has been a life changing experience for me! I am FINALLY learning to LOVE life and to stop in my tracks when I'm doing something not pleasing to God! I'm not gonna lie I wanted to continue throwing my fit and complain and have everyone pity me! Right now I would love to sit and just eat instead of working out because in the past when I got discouraged I would just eat eat eat! NOT ANYMORE!! IN THE PAST IS JUST IT~ THE PAST!!!!! Now I am running to God when I'm troubled and I'm getting my endorphins moving pushing out that stress!!
Ladies you can do this!!! I am so excited don't you dare give up yet the journey has just begun!!!!
Praying for you!
