Endurance

This Sunday we will discuss the character quality of ENDURANCE! Make sure you all read up and I will see you at 4:30 pm.

We have a couple housekeeping issues like any more thoughts on the fast and whether we want to meet on Spring Break Sunday. It is all up to the class! Blessings.

Discussion on Self-Contol

Hello Group! Though we just finished our class a few minutes ago, I thought I would log on and write a quick post! I have really been procrastinating these last couple of weeks in getting thoughts posted, so I am recommitting to doing better ;)!

This evenings class was great! We had great discussion and group participation. Everyone seems to really be digging into and exploring how, what and why character qualities bring us closer to God! I believe that we are on the brink of growing closer than we ever expected with the discussion we had this evening regarding fasting!

I really encourage us to all think of a way, date and/or time that would be feasible and work to make a group fast come together. Maybe we could have a lock-in of sorts and do an all-nighter, finish up by joining Kris for 5:00 am prayer group and then heading for breakfast! Jenn, we can even have beans on the menu! :D Just a thought. Let's see what we can come up with and hopefully Deb can give us some spiritual guidance about preparing for and going through a fast.

Keep up the good work! I really appreciate everyone coming to class prepared and ready to discuss! I hope everyone is enjoying the group as much as I am. It definitely filled my "gas tank" up and I am now ready to conquer the week!

For HIM!

Self-Control vs. Self-Indulgence

Today we will be studying Self-Control!

I am excited about this because this is one area that I feel we can ALL impove in! Especially me! I will see everyone at class at 4:30 pm for some great discussion!

Sunday's Class

This coming Sunday we will discuss the lesson over

Tolerance

Please make sure you have read through the lesson before coming to class so that we have plenty of time to discuss and reflect. I am working on trying to figure the issue with posting comments on the blog. I know that everyone has been having problems with that. I will try to get that finalized tomorrow and let everyone know what to do next! Thanks for your patience this week! I have been super busy so I didn't get this posted as early as I would have liked. See you on Valentine's Day!

Character Quality LOVE vs. Selfishness

We have all been without power for some time this last week and we also missed our opportunity to meet together to discuss our first Character Quality topic LOVE vs. Selfishness. But now the sun is shining and class will resume!

We will meet on Sunday, February, 7th at 4:30 pm!

Family Life Center Room 201!

Even if you were not able to make it to the first class meeting, please come this Sunday and check it out!

Make sure that you have read over the introductory section of The Power for True Success (pages 9-30.) I know that this is a lot of pages but it is really important that you have this basis as we begin to discuss the different Character Qualities and what they mean to our walk with Christ. I promise, all the readings on the individual Character Qualities will be pretty short, so bear with me! Also, you might have a bit of trouble with the version of scriptures used in the text. Just make sure you have your Bible with you so you can look up any scriptures you need to understand more clearly.

Also make sure you have the section of Love vs. Selfishness read (pages 31-34.) We will discuss this section on Sunday the 7th! Make sure you make note of any questions or comments that you may have on this section. Please post them on the blog or bring them with you to class.

Hopefully, next week I will be able to post on the next Character Quality earlier in the week since we have power and internet back now. See you all on Sunday!
