  • Risk-Taking

    Today in Apples of Gold (studying the book of Esther) we learned about risk-taking. It dawned upon me that risk taking is how God builds faith. When I worry and prepare for back-up plans before plan A is even executed, it shows a lack of trust (of course, there's wisdom in preparing, but then there's overdoing). I haven't been taking risks and if I had my way, I never would; I would prefer God to give me all the answers and what He'd like me to do, so I'd go do it. He tells me sometimes, but oftentimes, He tells me to have faith. God leads, but I have to keep moving and following.

    Next week is already our last session of the summer. 5 weeks of good food and fellowship with other women pass by so very quickly. /sigh
