Suddenly I am now on a “kick” and I hope that “kick” becomes a lifestyle.
It all started the other morning when I was having my morning coffee with my mother (yes, people still do that.) As I was ranting and raving about the horrible situations in my life, the words just rushed out before I could stop them. I quote, “Mom, I just have no joy in my life! I mean I love my son and my family and my fiancé and my boss and my friends and my job and everything, but I feel like nothing brings me joy anymore!” She tried to console me as best as a mom could with a stubborn child, but that tortured pain was still pushing on my heart. I thought saying it out loud would ease the pressure, but it didn’t.
Ten minutes later, I walked into work early, turned on my computer, and for some unknown reason that I will never understand Googled “online bible study for women.” Now, people that know me well know that I am not an every Sunday church going person. It’s not that I disagree; I’m just not “one of those people.” Anyway, there it was – a list of bible study websites online for women who just don’t have time for organized church gatherings. After clicking on the first one, my mouth dropped, my eyes did a double take and I had my answer. They were getting ready to start a four week bible study. The perfect study for the new-to-online-study people. Can you guess what the name of the book was? Choose Joy by Kay Warren!
Talk about a smack in the face! I was being told, “Here’s your sign! If you don’t get the hint now, you MUST be blind!” This was it. This was the time to reevaluate my life. I needed to reevaluate my priorities. I needed to reevaluate my attitude, my thought process, my personal goals…. And that is just what I planned to do. I ordered the book (thanks, mom), and got it just in time to start.
