Stressed-Less Living Online Bible Study begins today

.....and because I am enrolled in this online bible study and enrolled in a private facebook group of ladies doing the same study, I've decided that I am going to share on this blog what I read that impacts me.
I may expound and I may not, just depends on what's going on that day.

I trust the Holy Spirit to speak to each of us as His Sovereignty chooses.

This book is about "Finding God's Peace In Your Chaotic World". This is exactly what I need and I have hope and faith that as I go through the book and have fellowship with my online sisters-in-Christ, that daily HE will be transforming me inside.

CH I: Discovering The Real Problem

Questions to ask ourselves (my version): and, all of which I am guilty of :(

1. Do I focus moreso on what is wrong in my life and my dissatisfaction with it than I do on what already works well and is good about my life? Pg 18

2. Why am I so vulnerable to feel angry, afflicted, incompetent and hurt through the actions or words of others? Pg 18

3. Am I more often pessimistic, negative and melancholy than thankful, positive and have joy? Pg 18

Quote from the book pg 18: 

" I knew that something had to change; and through God's intervention I gradually came to understand that what had to change....ME." 

Let's read Matthew 5:3 from 2 versions:

Amplified Bible: "Blessed (happy, [a]to be envied, and [b]spiritually prosperous—[c]with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!"

The Message:  “You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule."

Quotes I've found and like: 

"Hope has two beautiful daughters Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are. "

Augustine    Works and Biography  

"When God comes down, He removes the immovable difficulties. When God comes down, the impossible becomes reality. God moves on behalf of the one who waits. "

Let's end with praying and singing "Lord change me from the inside out"
