everyday is a journey.
Who cares for the burden, the night, and the rain,And the long, steep, lonesome road,When at last through the darkness a light shines plain,When a voice calls "Hail," and a friend draws rein,With an arm for the stubborn load?
For life is the chance of a friend or twoThis side of the journey's goal.Though the world be a desert the long night through,Yet the gay flowers bloom and the sky shows blueWhen a soul salutes a soul.
--Unknown.I became deeply engrossed the minute I began reading The 5 Habits Of A Woman Who Doesn't Quit by Nicki Koziarz. There was something about the author that resonated with me. I felt as if I knew her, someone close to me. It wasn't until Emily pointed out the obvious.
She looks like Aubrey!
From that point on we called this current Bible study "The Aubrey Study." Now, I do want to point out that this is in no way a negative comparison or that this study reflects on Aubrey's character. This woman was warm, kind and totally had Aubrey's mannerisms. I felt comfortable with her, most likely because of her resemblance.
So what are the 5 habits of a woman who doesn't quit?
1. She accepts the assignment of refinement.
2. She follows through with her commitments despite how she feels.
3. She stays open to the movement of God.
4. She gives others what she needs.
5. She moves forward in faith.
I really enjoyed this one, but then I always receive something from each study. I am a procrastinator so I totally get this idea of wanting to abandon ship and not follow through. Or at least if I do finish it, I haven't given it my all. I think we as women have such a full plate that we find it difficult to juggle everything we want to be. It's time to forgive ourselves when we do fail and instead get back up and continue on. I hope you take a peek into this study when you have some time. You won't be disappointed.
Have a blessed day everyone.
