Eugene's got a gladiator complex and I've had a touch of the Elijah syndrome. Thank you for showing me that I am not alone. I am embarrassed with my outburst - but my human side of me felt exhausted and weak and alone. The Lord showed me once again that not only is He always with me, but that there is a small remnant still remaining faithful. I'll get out from under my tree now and stop the whining.
Love, Jules

The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. ~ James 3:17

WEEK TWO
1. What BLESSED you most this lesson?
This week I started my list and it's an extensive one at that! Of course, it's easy to see that I have a conflict of interests, wants, desires that cause me to struggle within myself. I thought this was an interesting exercise since it reveals what's on my mind and heart. To go from a disordered mind - conflicting heart - to a look at an ordered and harmonious mind was a blessing! I loved meditating on the 17 virtues or characteristics of the mind of Christ - mixing them together to see how beautifully they blend.
2. What CHALLENGED you most and how do you intend to apply it (with prayer and the help of the Holy Spirit)?
This week I've been challenged to demonstrate in my life the truth of my convictions. I believe in seeking first the Kingdom - but does my life indicate this? I believe in living in light of eternity, but do I make the choices that prove that? I want to have a deep desire and outer demonstration of obedience to what the Lord shows me in this study.
3. Prayer requests and other comments.
My prayer is what Hunt prayed: "Do anything Lord to fix my "wanter". I will accept the fact that You really do want me to be like Jesus, REGARDLESS of the cost." Lord, help me!
Blessings,
Jules
