The Resolution for Women Part 2
What an awesome way to end the week!
The women that attended Part 2 of the Resolution for Women book study received a challenge. We were challenged to see who we are in Christ and to truly reflect on our hearts. Are we who we say we are? How are we using our tongues in our talk at home, work, school, with our children, spouses, and family.
I have included a high level overview, but encourage you to take some time and read Part 2 of The Resolution for Women. Take a diagnostic x-ray or an exam and be honest.
We missed those that could not attend. We are praying that we see you next time. We welcome the new faces that were with us Sunday.
Love you and continue to give God your best!
Sandy Hunt, TWM
Overview below:
We completed Part 2! This section included My Best, My Blessings, My Forgiveness, My Integrity, and My Heart. We were challenged to value our best. W focused on honoring the blessings God have given us by controlling our tongues , considering our words, watching what we put inside by being a guardian of our own hearts. The breakout sessions were excellent and real. Thank you Ladies for sharing and caring. We are blessed by the your willingness to be transparent.
A few verses on forgiveness and bitterness:
Mark - 11:25
Matthew- 6:14 -15
Hebrews- 12:14
Bitterness:
Ephesians- 4:31
Hebrew - 12:15
Proverbs - 14:10
Prayerfully consider whether you are harboring un-forgiveness toward anyone. Has this impacted your life?
Ladies , please continue to work on your box exercise. As we admitted some of us have too many boxes. The goal is to focus on what God would have us do. Following God’s plan will give us balance, Remember balance is not when the boxes are equally filed but when we are free to fill only those that are important for now, without feeling guilt over the ones that we’ve left for another time and place.
As we start to self reflect on these areas in our lives, we can begin to see who we are . We are challenged to live our lives openly with a sister or friend who cares, we need some accountability. Pray for person that will be an accountability partner for you. I know some of else think we don’t need this. Think again. Integrity is what you do when no one is watching. God is always watching. We tend to forget this. So, we need the reminder of one of God’s vessels. We will discuss this more in our next meeting.
As we close our discussion today, how is your heart?? Has your heart been broken for the things of God? Jesus’ heart was broken for us. He felt our pain. In His brokenness, He did something for us. He gave up His life, so that we may have eternal life. What are you doing for the sake of the gospel. ( read 164- 179 and sign the resolution on age 179).

My Best Follow-up
Anyone participated in " "good self-care" this week? As noted by author Priscilla Shirer, " you will never be able to give the best of yourself if you're not taking care of yourself..."(p 106). Interesting thought.
I made an intentional effort after the busy weekend, to be still before the Lord. It was wonderful. I wasn't planning for Sunday School or Women's Ministry. It was just me and the Lord. I was still. I heard from Him. I received rest. God is good. I had my Sabbath Monday... ( that's another blog.. about the Sabbath) I am working on it.
In His Service, I am giving Him my best!

Focus and pray on the feedback given. Ask God for direction.

The Resolution for Women follow-up
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
The first session of the TWM book study, The Resolution for Women, was Sunday, February 19th. The session was more that a review of book. It was a time to review God’s Word and His design for women. It was also a time of sharing, bonding, praising, and prayer.
If you were unable to attend, please continue your reading. Although it is an easy ready, it is important to reflect on the points introduced. I echo Priscilla’s words:
“My hope is that you’ll read this book slowly and purposefully~not with the intention of finishing but of engaging with each segment.”
We will encounter 13 challenges to focus and pray to God for his help, guidance and wisdom to resolve.
Our next session is March 4th. In the mean time we will continue to engage you with postings on our blog, as well as, FaceBook.
Blessings,
Sandy Hunt
