Welcome to Week Two of Angela Thomas’ “When Wallflowers
Dance: Becoming a Woman of Righteous
Confidence”.
This week’s video, “Rejecting the Wallflower Life” parked us
in Ephesians 2:10. Angela challenged me
by saying, “I want to be the woman God dreamed of when He dreamed of me.” I really do want to be His masterpiece. I think that can only happen if His will is
done in our lives, so I’ve been praying for that almost every day. Angela shared four things we need to do to reject
the wallflower life and begin living for the Lord in righteous confidence: we must choose God, we must choose to stop
the chaos, we must commit to the community of believers and we must choose to
restore order to our physical house and physical body.
This week’s homework, “So That Your Soul Can Catch Up” had
me praying beautiful Scripture each day and gave me the desire to not only
crave God but to see significant and measurable growth in my spiritual
life. I got specific about what I want
that spiritual growth to look like and intentional about what I need to do to
accomplish those goals. I still try to
do too much under my own power rather than letting God. How about you? Do you have a grasp on how to do less and
allow God to do more through you? Please
comment on this post if you do.
Angela said, “You will pace yourself according to those you
run beside.” Who are you running beside
spiritually? Do you need to make some
prayerful changes in this area?
This week’s “Girlfriend Nudges” included memorizing Psalm 46
and memorizing the books of the Old Testament in order. I’m still working on Psalm 46, but as soon as
I saw the challenge to memorize the Old Testament books, I pulled out some
paper and wrote them down. I got all of
the books written, I just had the order messed up for a few of them. Something new to practice. There was a song on Christian radio several
years back in which the lyrics were the books of the Bible. If anyone remembers the name of the band that
sang it, would you please let me know?
Thanks.
