Random thoughts on the book of Judges...

The kids are napping and I just finished another great day of a Bible Study I have been going through! I started going through it a few months ago - my friend Laura Krokos has it on her blog - beholdingglory.com. She has done a lot of different studies that I'd love to also go through someday, but this particular one I've been doing has been one on the book of Judges. You should go over to her blog and check it out! I love it first of all because I've never really read through the book of Judges before, especially to study, so I have gotten so much out of it! And I also love reading her comments because she has three little ones and just hearing her thoughts is nice because they are so close to some of my own! I've also loved it because there are so many connections to our life every day... I just read about Gideon and I love how God was able to use a man who was fearful and didn't fully trust in God, but he was still used for some amazing things such as rescuing the Israelites from their enemies yet again! Reminds me again how important it is for us to take the step and trust God with our life every day even when we feel fearful or when we just don't see how things could work out! It's always been hard for me to trust God fully... I don't really know why considering how much He has rescued me again and again, but I'm just glad that God still uses me in His grand plan and that He loves and cares about me enough to never give up! I'm so thankful that I have a husband who shows me areas in which we need to trust God more... Scott has been such a great man to lovingly help me grow and mature in my walk with God! I love that man so much! :o)

Well, I was going to write more but we are headed into town for Daniel's check-up appointment in a little bit so I need to get everything ready to load into the van and then get the kiddos up! I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
