on special assignment for RENEW

Hello friends!

Are you getting excited about being RENEWED? I am! The Lord continues to reveal some incredible things to me about this study. Apparently my Mom needed to have some stomach issues, be admitted to the hospital and me come take care of her. She is doing great and hopefully gets to come home this afternoon. I'm cleaning her house today and getting things ready for her to come home. There are so many things about this trip that God has used to speak to me. AMAZING stuff God is doing in my life and in the lives around me. Time with Mom and James, time with my sister in law and nieces, time with my friend Minnie, time with Kelly Ann and time with HIM.

Let me just say I have never, NEVER, felt so free from the past as I do today. I truly feel like a NEW woman in Christ.

Between now and Monday (the first day of RENEW) I encourage to go to the store and buy a fancy pen. There is something about having your favorite pen when sitting down to write or do a Bible Study. So go all out! Buy yourself a $5 pen! Also buy a notebook with a 3 ring binder inside. Fill it with some notebook paper and then each day when you print out your Bible study lesson, punch some holes in the paper and put it in your binder. Decorate your binder! Make it a memorable event! This is a binder I feel is going to change our lives!

You never know what God is going to do! I am praying that word spreads all over the world about this little God inspired Bible Study! Maybe all of us can start a revival in the blogging world! Let's be changed! Let's be renewed, restored, refreshed! Let's allow God to level our mountains and change our lives forever!

In this post, please leave a comment if you are joining us. I want to make sure I can pray for each of you by name. I am so excited to see how the Lord is going to change our lives and those around us!

You are up for renewal!!!

Love,

Amanda


Psalm 51:10 (The Message)

7-15 Soak me in your laundry and I'll come out clean,
scrub me and I'll have a snow-white life.
Tune me in to foot-tapping songs,
set these once-broken bones to dancing.
Don't look too close for blemishes,
give me a clean bill of health.
God, make a fresh start in me,
shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.
Don't throw me out with the trash,
or fail to breathe holiness in me.
Bring me back from gray exile,
put a fresh wind in my sails!
Give me a job teaching rebels your ways
so the lost can find their way home.
Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God,
and I'll sing anthems to your life-giving ways.
Unbutton my lips, dear God;
I'll let loose with your praise.
