A Life Group Challenge

It all started a few years ago. Our life group leader challenged us. He decided to hold us accountable to spending time with God. I have always known how important it is to read my Bible and spend time with God in prayer but… being disciplined and consistent was a problem.

So one night at life group, our leader said that he wanted all of us to do better and that he planned to ask us how we were doing each week. My first thought was  Wait a minute, can he do this? I didn’t ask for this and it could be embarrassing if I don’t follow through.  Then I realized that maybe he was right… not maybe… definitely he was right and if this is what it took for me to get consistent, then so be it.

I decided that I should give God priority and spend time first thing in the morning AND I was going to journal my thoughts. I had never kept a diary before in my life.

It has been amazing! God has transformed my life through this journal. I am so encouraged as I read back through the Scripture verses that have spoken to me and my ramblings about this idea and that. I can see how God is working in my life. I hear clearer direction for decisions for the future. I am truly recognizing His voice.

I have been blessed because my walk with God is deeper and stronger now… and all because of a loving life group and passionate life group leader, and supported by a committed church body. Thank you to everyone for being a part of transforming my life.
