Hey ladies. We have Jenna to thank for this wonderful idea. As we work through our study we can comment on things that stick out to us during the week, note success and failures, and enocurage one another. This will enable us to communicate each at her own availability. I am so excited to see where we go from here. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the verses. Just a reminder - They are:
Philippians 3:13-15
I Corinthians 9:25-27
Hebrews 12:1-3
II Timothy 4:5-8
Hebrews 12:5-12
Revelation 2:2-4
Cn't wait to see what you all think!

In all of my contemplation and prayer about discipline, I don't think that I really prepared myself for how difficult this is going to be. The Lord isn't convicting me of the little places in my life where I need to implement it, but the things that touch every other part of my life. Just focusing on what I am doing - completely. No matter what it is. It is difficult to do everyhthing as unto the Lord. If everytime I clean my bathtroom I do as if Jesus is going to be the next to use it, if I study as though Christ is my professor. When your perspective changes from 'getting it done' to 'doing it for the glory of God'...things change. If we are ever to accomplish this kind of life (one with no corners cut) we are going to need self discipline desperately.

Alot of times if I am honest with myself, it is so much easier to just put everything you need to do aside and live life the way my flesh desires and for the last few days that is what has occured. My tongue has not been in check, neither my temper, nor my thought and I have seen exactly when i consiously make the decision to have self-discipline, and I follow through, then the days when I do not follow through are horrible. So after some time of repenting today, I plan on pushing through with the willpower portion the rest of the week. I am realizing just how weak i really am. So Kate, I am in this boat with you sister!!!! =D

This week in my life willpower has meant being the first one to apologize. It seems like the one who apologizes first is admitting that they are 'more wrong' than the other. Willpower has meant overriding my pride for the sake of a relationship with a fellow believer and my relationship with Christ. It is what he would have done.
I almost choked on the words, though. Seriously. Last year I would just not have talked to this person until they decided to repent. Even if it took months, or years. How childish is that?

Boy, have I been out of the loop! This is the first time I've looked at "Excelsior" since coming back from Seattle! I am so anxious to see you all in an hour and witness first hand the growth in your lives even in the weeks I've been gone. You are all awesome and I love your hearts and being part of watching you grow more and more into the image of our Saviour, Lord, and King...Jesus! I am honored to be part of your group. You challenge me as well!
Much love,
Pamela
