Hello
everyone! As mentioned in my last post,
today I want to introduce something new to the blog that I am hoping to
incorporate here every Tuesday. I’m
calling it “Teaching Tuesday’s”
because the plan is to share with you a list of up to five things I was taught,
and up to five links to people, blogs, ministries, web pages etc. from which I
was taught from during the previous week.
Then you will be given the opportunity join in by sharing too.
What is the
point of all of this, you might be wondering?
Well, here are a few reasons I felt this might be helpful:
1. To promote learning, which should be
a continual life-long process.
2. It’s difficult to teach anything, if
you yourself are not continually being taught.
3. Creating a list helps to recognize,
summarize, and process what’s being learned.
4. Sharing the list creates
accountability to pursuing continual and consistent learning.
5. Sharing the list teaches us to edify
and praise those who are speaking into our lives.
Now that we’ve established the main what’s and why’s, let’s get started…
Five Things I learned Last Week:
“Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.” ~Proverbs 23:12
1. The goat has left my house – At church June 30th we had the pleasure of
listening to guest speaker Al Furey preach.
His message? The goat has left my house. What?! I know, sounds a bit strange, but it was an
excellent lesson on how we’ve been freed from the burden of, not only our sins
and transgressions, but from our iniquities as well. There is a difference. Don’t know what the difference is? Want to learn how you too have been freed
from your iniquities, sins, and transgressions?
Then check out what all this goat talk is about for yourself by
listening to his sermon online.
2. The tearing of the veil in the temple of God into two, upon the
crucifixion of Christ, is what gave us direct access to speak to God ourselves – Though I had known it was torn I
had never fully grasped the implication of this before. Such an awesome truth to behold! This was taught in that same sermon by Al
Furey but was also re-affirmed to me the very next day in the first day of the
online Bible study "Cultivating a Heart of Prayer," by Wendy Blight Love how God ties our many lessons
together!
3. Luke 10:38-42 applies to our prayer lives as well – In the last week of the study of
the book “Stressed-Less Living,” we took an in-depth look at these verses and I
shared with you a post on how they helped my priorities in my walk with God to
become Shifted. Then, the very
next week, we studied the very same verse in the "Cultivating a Heart of Prayer" online Bible
study, only this time I learned that we can be Mary’s and Martha’s in our
prayer lives too. Check out the passage
for yourself and see what God whispers to your heart on the subject.
4. Sometimes, when we think there are things that have been cut out of our
lives completely, they are actually being Woven by God into a whole new
beautiful and unforeseen blessing in our lives – Last week’s post was on this very
topic. I invite you to check it out now
if you missed it.
5. It can take time…more time than you think, plan, or hope, for God’s plan
to be revealed in certain circumstances - Many of you know I have
fought many battles in the war for my physical health. I thought I had finally turned a corner in
this, with victory feeling so close I could taste it, but then yet another
completely unexpected battle erupted with a slipped disc in my neck. I admit I’m frustrated with this and the peace
that had so newly filled my heart has been threatened…as I truly can’t see or
understand God’s purpose in all of this…but I know that He has plan, and that
it is for my good, so I am choosing trust rather than discouragement and
defeat.

the comment section below.
2. Type out a list and/or links directly
in the comment section.
3. Share in
the comment section something you learned from this
blog post.

5. Provide feedback in the comment section on the new “Teaching Tuesday’s” idea.
You can share
just one thing you were taught last week or as many as five. You can share one link you learned from or up
to five. It’s all up to you. Share just things, or share just links, or any
combo you choose…
“Let the word of Christ
dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom.”
~Col 3:16
