Recap of 09-21-09

Cathy H. delivered a great lesson on Crossroads last night. This lesson corresponds to Principle 7: Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will. She asked God to speak through her, and He did as she spoke straight from the heart. The message was powerful, but she personalized it with examples from her own life as well. Those of us that are in step groups know how powerful the "Crossroads" assignment was to journal about our behavior each day in a one week period. This was to reflect on how we handled our reactions to people and situations so that we might identify patterns, look at our part and grow through the process. The suggestion Cathy reminded us of, written by John Baker of Saddleback Church, was to keep doing this throughout our Christian walk, but not to forget to note when we handled things well too.
