plan b study (week2)

hello blogging world,
when i get into something, i get into something. i mean when i put effort toward something i want, i do it. and i mean i do it with a lot of energy & heart. not to brag, but i feel like sometimes i can get in the extreme perspective of this, which can sometimes be unhealthy depending on the priority it becomes in my life. the reason i explain this is because of my blogging trend. i have kept up with this blog & have tried to write every day. another example, i am a runner...i like to classify myself as one at least. i started running like 3 miles a day after a little encouragement from my dad. trust me, it was not easy to actually start "enjoying" running. i remember that first 3 miles, it was awful. i made my first lap and felt sick. then i did my second lap and felt a little sicker. then i made it around my 3rd lap & it started raining! it was horrible! but all of that to say, i'm really trying to keep up with my blogging. i like to think i am putting my heart into it.
so i'm trying to multi-task- read plan b, blog, talk to my friend rachel, & read an article about baptsim & answer questions about it. but before i do all of the above, i'll conquer writing about what we talked about at the plan b study last night/bachelorette watching night. it was such a good discussion, and like i said before, everyone should read this book! here are the questions we discussed that were at the end of the chapter:
- do you remember a time when all the circumstances of your life led to believe a certain dream was going to become reality, only to have that dream shatter?
- do you see any similarities between your life and the first half of David's story? (He ran away from his problems & God)
- James 1:12 says, "blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him". can you think of a time when perseverance & patience have paid off for you in the midst of a plan b? can u name a time when you think your perseverance & patience did not pay off? why do you think this is true?
happy tuesday!!!! post answers to these questions in the comment box!! i would love to hear some feedback!
