THIS WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT: READ CHAPTER FOURTEEN IN YOUR BOOK,
STUDY IT, & SHARE YOUR GLEANINGS!)
"That they may teach the young women... to love be discreet." Titus 2:4
"Wisdom makes it a habit to keep one eye on the future
and the other on reality and makes her decisions accordingly."
Hello friends! Wasn't chapter thirteen great?! Wisdom is so much more than I ever imagined it to be. I hope your excitement for more truth about wisdom is high this week.
balance = harmonious arrangement of relation of parts or elements within a whole.
wisdom = making wise, thought out, determined choices so that your life will be orderly, calm, and balanced.
Balance is definitely a goal in my life that I am hopeful will one day be a reality. :) It is always a challenge to fit everything I need to do, want to do, and have to do into a 24-hour period. But one thing I find helpful is focusing my priority first and first most on my Lord. When I start to get so busy that I am neglecting time alone with Him, I find that it takes longer to accomplish any tasks, my attitude is not right, I am easily overwhelmed, and I have lost balance. As we strive to be women of wisdom we should seek to be woman who knows her priorities & practices them, and who is balanced in every area of life.
Did anyone try using Elizabeth George's "simple weekly calendar"? I tried it last week and did find it to be quite helpful. It felt like I accomplished more in a week then usual. I think I might change a couple of her points and use it in my weekly planner. :)
Well, this week we are continuing on with WISDOM. May this week be even better than the first! :)
Love, Nicole
"Do any of you need wisdom? Ask God for it. He is generous and enjoys giving to everyone. So he will give you wisdom." James 1:5ERV
What an encouraging chapter. I really enjoyed the practical "7 Steps of Wisdom". I did decide to add an 8th step: To give thanks. I am purposing to memorize these 8 steps and start applying them to the littlest decisions in my life in order to establish a habit that, Lord willing, I will use to make the biggest decisions, the hardest and often most life changing decisions.
