Unit 1

Hi everyone!

Hope your week started well in more ways than one! Unit 1 had a few challenges in it so let's get started....

_____________________________________

What do you think about the concept of following God's will 'one day at a time'? - did it challenge you in your daily walk, did it make you change how you look at your days/weeks?

Is anyone willing to share from one of the days in unit 1, what stood out to them/impacted them the most - a verse, a thought, a comment, a challenge?

On page 14-15 of Unit 1 it talks about God's will for our lives, it gives Jesus' example and then says: Watch to see where God is working and join Him! ....ever thought that way about your day? Did you try it - literally seeing where God is at work and joining Him in your days?

What do you think about this:

You do not get orders and then go out and do them. You relate to God, respond to Him, and adjust your life to Him so that He can do whatever He wants to do through you. (p.17)

_____________________________________

...respond to one question or them all if you want! They are just to get you thinking. Don't worry about catching up if you have gaps for Unit 1 - run your eyes over what you have time for and then MOVE ON!! It's unit 2 this week. I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback and hearing how some of unit 1 might have challenged your thinking and way of operating day-in, day-out.

In the meantime... let's keep going!

PS - thanks for sharing with us Heather... looking forward to hearing from some others this week. If you're not sure how to comment, click on '0 comments' at the bottom of the post right next to the time and then go from there.

Experiencing God

Wow! Where has the year gone huh - May already?

Well, believe it or not, this blog address has been sitting here since February awaiting it's inaugural moment and here it is!

I'm looking forward to using this space for various things after we've finished. For now though, this is the home of our cellgroup so welcome! I hope you've found your study guide and that you're ready for God to challenge and grow you through the next 12 weeks.

It would be awesome if you'd take the time to comment on this post - give us your life story (perhaps the nutshell version!) or simply take a blogging name if you want and stay incognito - the choice is yours! Either way, be sure to just let us know you're with us.

I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts each week as it'll make or break the study. When you hear how God impacts others and gets their attention, you can't help but want to share your own stories.

If you fall behind with the 'homework' don't worry - just leave what you haven't been able to catch up on and keep up with which ever week we happen to be on!

If you decide part way through that you want an extra manual - fights have been known to break out over one book!! - just drop me an email as there are a few copies remaining! You've got until at least July to get your $$$ to me so don't stress there.

Let's start Unit 1 on Monday 7th May. At the beginning of each week there will be some questions for you to respond to and again, if you come up with a few stella ones of your own then please email them through to me.

If you've just happened to stumble over the blog and you're wondering what the heck we're doing, get in touch with me through the profile details on the sidebar and I'll fill you in on the study so you can decide if you want to join us!

In a nutshell - this is all about seeing God at work around us and being challenged to let Him have our day, all of it, before we try and take any of it for ourselves and our plans. Trust me - it'll blow your mind when you see how much God wants to use us! All He needs is a willing vessel...
