Footsteps of Faith: Following the Call

We are a group of women based out of University Heights Baptist Church seeking to share our Bible study and revelations from the Lord via this blog.

Of course, I'm last minute...

This has been a crazy week for me and here I am posting my own post at the very last minute. I kept thinking I'd get it done earlier, but something always came up.  Isn't that the case with Bible study a lot of the times?  Maybe it's just me.

I finally found time with no kids, no laundry to be done, no dishwasher to be emptied and I find myself in a hotel room in Austin listening to a screaming baby next door and the sounds of five o'clock Austin traffic outside my window.  No peace and quiet as I write this. So goes my life.

I explained in my previous post how this study came about, but I didn't tell you much about myself. I have been a born again Christian since I was twelve or thirteen and was baptized at UHBC in what is now the student building.  My parents are members of UHBC and I was raised in what I consider a very faithful family.  That doesn't mean we were perfect in any way. We had have issues and make mistakes everyday.

I am a teacher by "trade" but also know that it's no accident I'm there. This is what God intends for me to be doing at this point in my life.  I have a wonderful husband who loves the Lord and am the mother of two beautiful children. If I start talking about my kids, that's all this will turn into.  My little family is my life.

I'm a firm believer that God's call on my life is different at different points in my life.  I've never felt like there's been a lifelong calling from Him other than to have an intimate relationship with Him.  At this point, I sense God is beginning to show me more and ask more of me.  I'm not sure in what area or what way, but it's there. I'm hoping through this study and the series we are experiencing on Sundays with Richard will lead me to what it is I'm being called to do, but I also know that it's all in God's time and when He's ready, it will be evident to me as well.

This week.... Work your way through the questions and then listen to the audio.  Break it up into manageable segments. For your post this week, choose one of the "Application Questions" to discuss or anything else from this week's study that you feel God is speaking to you about.

I've enjoyed reading the other posts and comments and am looking forward to those this week.
