Generally I think I have Martha-itis. If my house is not clean I cannot do anything else. And when I work 40 hours a week and have 2 girls (4 &1) that stay home with their dad there is a LOT of cleaning to be done.<br /><br />3. I need to remember what I have re-learned tonight. REST comes from Him. Not sleep. Not having everything done. Only from Him.<br /><br />4.God is always in control.<br /><br />5.

It makes us both very nervious and on edge. I pray that the Lord will give us all an inner peace that we know He is with us and will not leave us....He is for us, who can be against us!<br />DinaSister Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959156101094719610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687099970634697942.post-35788189271632258872009-07-10T16:28:55.519-04:002009-07-10T16:28:55.519-04:00Zacharoni64 thanks so much for participating and y...Zacharoni64 thanks so much for participating and your insights. I have to agree how circumstances affect our contentment much more than they should. I am going to really try to post Bible studies on a more regular basis. I also think some people do the Bible studies, but don't post. I love it when people post, because we can learn from one another.Coach Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745754071595279271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687099970634697942.post-67747733755998515252009-07-09T16:05:52.233-04:002009-07-09T16:05:52.233-04:00I hope that this is something that you will be abl...I hope that this is something that you will be able to do regularly. I have been searching for a Bible study for working moms and have found nothing! I noticed that your posts have been sporadic (which I'm sure is because there has not been much response), but I pray that more mom's will find this awesome site. I love the idea of being "around" other moms who share the same ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc that I have. <br /><br />I am surrounded by stay-at-home-moms in my community and it has been very difficult. There is a lot of judgement and gossip. I am ready for some healthy interactions.<br /> <br /><br />As for the study questions:<br /><br />1. My contentment is mostly based on my circumstances :( I typically notice that things are going bad and then have a pity party. I know that everything is either caused by or allowed by God, but it is difficult to remember that when things are not going well.<br /><br />2. I give my contentment away; I give it to the enemy when I am attacked by him through those who I am surrounded by. I let others control me, my feelings, thoughts, and behaviors... YUCK!<br /><br />3. I have to completely trust Him with EVERYTHING! faith and trust<br /><br />4. God is ALWAYS in control! Like I said earlier, He either causes or allows everything to happen. That is difficult to understand when horrible things occur, but He has a plan, a PERFECT plan, that we only get to see a miniscule part of.<br /><br />5. Trust, prayer, and being surrounded by those who are like minded.<br /><br />Thank you again for following Christ's lead and doing this blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003315894938422246noreply@blogger.com
