Chapter 1- I AM Your Beauty, Lesson 1: Just in Time

Acts 7:17-20

Questions:

Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you to be a light for Him?

Yes-to raise my children. A lot of the time I get really down on myself and don't have a lot of self-esteem. But I know without a doubt that God has chosen me specifically to be the wife and mother to my husband and children.

There have also been specific times in my life that I know God has put me in a certain place at a certain time for a certain reason. One example is when He sent me to a neighborhood near my Grandmother's house to rescue a little boy being mauled by an akita. There was no real reason for me to be at my Grandmother's house other than God choosing to send me there.



Can you honestly describe yourself as a woman with a 'yes' in her spirit?

I am embarrassed to say that there are times that I have said "No." when I knew God wanted me to do something. I reasoned to myself that I had a good reason for saying No," but I know I didn't. I can honestly say that I am earnestly trying to be a woman with a "yes" in my spirit to do whatever God asks, no matter how difficult I may think that will be.

Are you in an emotionally and spiritually healthy place today?

Hmmm.... That varies from day to day. I struggle with depression, so it changes. Today and most days I think so.

If so, what will you do with your series of unrecurring events? Will you commit to ask for spiritual eyes to see opportunities to defend a weaker sister?

Yes. I think it's our responsibility to help defend and take care of those who are weaker than us or cannot defend themselves.

If no, are you taking steps to seek out wise counsel from a sister you admire or perhaps a Christian counselor if needed? If not, will you resolve to do so?


I have people who I can talk to, and on those bad days where I'm struggling I seek them out for help. Everyone needs help at one time or another, and I hope that I can be someone who helps.
