Lesson 2 of I Am Study

What is "your" initial response when anyone suggests you are beautiful?

Often when someone tells me I am beautiful I have a hard time saying thank you. I look at them as if they grew a second head.(haha-) 

Do you find you engage in alot of negative "self talk"?

I do speak negatively- my husband tells me all the time that I need to stop. 

How much of your thought life does this form of thinking consume?

Depends on what it is.. and what the situation is will depend on how much negativity I am consumed by. 

What is the most radical transformation you've witnessed in an individual after they were born again?

My own transformation- I came from an abusive home, physically, sexually, and mentally. 
Demons plagued me. I experienced spiritual war fare in my life and it burdened me in my young years. When I became born again, and released myself to Christ; He released me from those demons. These demons use to plague my dreams, keep me fearful to live, and be happy, but thank you for the blood! I have been set free!!!

The imagery of being a City Girl has absolutely changed the way I perceive my worth before God. Does it yours?
Yes- to think that He will beautify the meek through my Salvation in Christ!!
Wow- how unworthy but what a booster to know that it is not my worth that I receive this beauty but through Christ. 

Amen?!!

    Angie,

    This second lesson was one that was difficult for me and that's when God began to show me some stuff we still need to work on. I love your testimony of your salvation. How wonderful! He redeemed me from a difficult background as well! Praise Him!

    Blessings!
    Michelle

    Angie,

    You are so beautiful to God that if you had been the only person on the earth that was outside of a relationship with Him, ,He still would have sent Jesus to die for you. John 3:16 says for God so loved the world. You are the world to Him. You are the apple of His eye. You know how it hurts and makes you angry to hear on of your kids speak negative about themselves? Imagine how it makes God feel to hear you speak badly of yourself.

    It's strange that this lesson that was so hard for you and Michelle, was not as difficult for me.

    Doesn't mean that self esteem is not an issue with me. Just means that I don't have a problem with being beautiful for God, does that make sense?

    Oh by the way. If you and Michelle are going to pull me, I promise not to kick and scream to loud.

    I am so enjoying this study, you and Michelle. I am so blessed to have you both.

    Thanks so much,
    Sallye

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Hello all...

Hello my Siesta(Beth Moore's word for Sisters-Love it)  I have decided to start this online bible Blog Study that Preacher's Wife  wrote. It has already started my wheels turning in my mind and heart. The very first question:  Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you? Yes- many! A few grow heavy in my heart! What do you perceive may be at stake if you do or do not speak out for Him? The person's soul will be lost for eternity. They will not walk with me into the gates of heaven and I will spend the rest of my eternal life knowning I did nothing, said nothing and do not do what God intended me to do. Can you Honestly describe yourself as a woman with a "yes" in her spirit? No I can not say I can- I would like to fool myself and those around you to say I am but when it comes down to it.. I have failed! If not what keeps you from this? FEAR- fear that the person will see my words as judgement and no...

What is the meaning of family or extended family to you?

One of the things about moving to Texas that we were "excited" about was the thought of having "all the family" here.(actually extended family) Grandma,grandpa,  Sam's brothers, and sister are all here.  Well we have been here almost 6 months now. I guess the newness of us being here has worn off, because we do not receive  phone calls, text messages, or emails of;" what are you all doing this weekend?"  " Do you want to get together?"  It has turned out to be just like any other time we lived in close vicinity of each other. We have become special occasion, holiday only relations.  Why is that?  How does that happen?  Is it because we live such separate lives?   Our lives are very uneventful. We spend them each day just surviving that day. We do not think of tomorrow- (that is scriptural) We do not take pleasure in vain things. I hate to shop. I love to sew. I hate going to the beauty parlor. All those things that "woman" are suppo...
