WWelcome to FFF! Hosted by Susanne!
Another rather strange week..
Last week I had the Norovirus and was desperately ill. This week has been rather slow... to regain my strength.. and get going! I have been able to work on my Bible study even though I couldn't go to the meeting on Tuesday. I was terribly sad not to go.. but I was just too weak!.. I received my book for the & Feasts, and I had missed the fruit two days of homework which had been done in the class I missed.. Each day has 5 pretty intense days of homework.. So far I have accomplished 3 days, or 15 pages.. whew.,. I will save the rest for Friday and Saturday
Monday was a very low-key day f0r us.. I was so weak that I looked at Tuesday's calendar and realized I'd couldnt dare do the women's Bible Study so I called told them I couldn't make it. I mainly rested and tried to get my appetite back.. God is good I was able to et anything I fixed and some things Lynn prepared for me. He blesses me so much!
Tuesday I was wondering how the day would go. It was a beautiful day so I sat out in the Sunroom most of the day enjoying the birds at the feeder. I actually felt inspired enough to fill in a page in my nature Journal.
Wednesday, I did call to cancel going to Bible Study. Just couldn't think about sitting there for a couple of hours.. But I did keep my hair appointment. Surprisingly, I ended up getting a much shorter haircut It barely comes to the bottom of my ears. It is cute, but something I really need to get used to!
Thursday, I was feeling better so I began working on my new Bible Study for the Women's class at church. We are studying the 7 feasts and the homework is quite something. Each day's work for the week covered about 5-6 pages of hard questions and charts to fill in. Even though it is not the easiest study I've ever done, I think I am really going to enjoy it. I have always enjoyed participating in the feasts. I know there is a lot more to learn about them than just what I have done in the past.
Friday, today I did attend my weight watchers class, and I was super surprised and pleased that I lost 5.4 pounds. Ok, so I was very ill last week,, and I know I lost weight then , but the good news I didn't gain it back this week. I am really feeling the weight loss now. It is 31 pounds down since the first of June.
Oh I'm definitely ready to meet Jesus....we too believe the end is near.....our world...so sad at the way it's going.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better now that the week is going towards the weekend.
I love a good Bible study but I've chosen to be in two that don't require a lot of homework.....there's some in the women's one i joined but not a lot (A Jennie Allen book) and the one my husband and I co lead with a smaller group of people is just reading and discussion all centered around "Love your neighbor as yourself". it's going to be a great evangelism tool!!
I hope you have a wonderful first Autumn weekend!!
Congratulations on all the weight loss! You're doing great.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you were sick, but it does seem like you are feeling better now. That's a blessing.
Doing more than one Bible study is a lot. Like you, I am doing two. Lots and lots of homework!
Enjoy a relaxing weekend!
I'm glad you're feeling better! Give yourself plenty of time to build your stamina back up. I'm in a ladies' Bible study by Jen Wilkin on 1, 2, and 3 John. It's the first time in a long time I've done a Bible study with homework. At first it seemed like a lot on top of what I do for my own personal Bible study time. But I think I''ve gotten into a good rhythm with it now.
ReplyDeleteOh sorry to hear you were so sick. Hopefully you are more and more recovered as we head to this weekend! Studying Romans right now and while there is no homework technically, it is lots to wrap my brain around so usually end up going over notes at some point in the week. I'm also doing a Max Lucado book study on my own that is perfect timing for me on the life of Joseph.
