Two Commitments to God

From small group, two commitments have emerged tonight:

1. I am going to get involved in my church outside of a weekly service and a weekly small group. Granted, I love both, but, I want to do more. I'm feeling the beginnings of being pulled to a new interaction-similar to convictions felt when I joined my small group. Just look at the growth that has come from that! I am comfortable in that role and am ready to be challenged to new growth-and I'm sure God isn't asking me to serve in the nursery once a month. I will begin to pray for him to put the opportunity perfect for me into my path. I know and trust that he will.

2. I will make more of an effort to read my Bible. I will find a way that works for me and I am starting tonight. I will not feel guilty if I miss a night and will not allow that to be the tip of the iceberg which allows me to leave my readings for weeks/months a time. I asked God to chose where I should start, closed my eyes, and opened to Romans.

It's funny how God works-Romans talks about God's plan of salvation-a large part of our discussion tonight at group. No need for details here, just the knowledge that God will reaffirm the direction He wants my life to go over and over until I get it. I'm ready to listen God.....Let's go!
