I am very excited I have a small group! I have yearned for this. We started LIVING BEYOND YOURSELF Beth Moore
We are in the second week and I have hit my first snag. :-( I was exhausted and couldn't stay for the video. I was able to be there for the discussion on last weeks homework. It was just too much to last another hour for the video.
I procrastinated on the homework for this week. I picked it up several times and put it back down moments later. I made myself get caught up last night. I struggled my way through and some of the questions just didn't seem to be questions to me.
I said to one of my friends that I think I need to go back over it again because I didn't get anything out of it. I know what the problem is, the problem is me. There is a lesson in there that I do not want to learn or maybe Satin doesn't want me to learn it. I reached the 5th days homework and it was fun and it was easy. The questions where thought provoking. I didn't mind flipping around the bible looking for the answers. I know I need to pray and go back through the first 4 days but I don't want to.
I do have one complaint with this study the answers to the questions tend to be in the paragraph right below the question. I understand why it is written this way but, I would prefer not to have the answer right there. I would prefer to work for it. It is toooo easy to cheat and just read down a paragraph and not look it up.
When I am doing something like this I read the page get an understanding of all the questions on the page and go back and take each question. I am organized and look the verses up not in the order on the page but in the order in the bible so I am not bouncing all over. When all questions have been answered I go back and read the page again taking in what I have answered and putting some more thought into the answers. You can see this method does not work when the answer to the question is right below the question. I have all the answers before I even open the bible. It is too simple and doesn't even give my mind a chance to begin chewing on it. Fighting this life long study habit has been difficult.
I confess with this weeks homework I cheated. I also left a few blanks. Yep need to pray and make myself do it again.
