1 Samuel 17; Psalm 9; Matthew 2

We, hubs and I are going into the Coaching realm of Small Group Leadership and this morning I am wondering how long we'll stay....
Sitting across from a fellow Small Group Leader, she will have to explain to me how spending time with You in Your word is not important. She will have to help me see how she can lead other women without You...how she is WITH YOU without being in Your word and
WOW that sounds harsh and yet from experience it doesn't feel harsh at all it feels like the softest most loving thing I could say....and that's because of my time in it...IT softens me like nothing else, it moves me more than anything, it, when I yield to what I read that is...and I yield more and more because of the time spent in it and seeing ...seeing......I believe in reading it there is direction and purpose and passion given to whomever reads it....and a softness to yield and follow wherever it leads....

Now, I wouldn't say it to anyone unless they profess to be a follower of Christ and desiring to lead others and really I think I will be asking them to explain to me HOW they do it without it?? I think I am genuinely curious about that....
I......so I wonder how long we'll last....I wonder how to make it feel loving when it already does to me?? I wonder how I will react to being disagreed with....I wonder if I have the stones to do this.....???

I am scared and yet feeling very passionate about it and usually passion just gets me in trouble...

Psalm 9: 8 He will judge the world in righteousness;
He will govern the peoples with justice.
9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
