“Obey me, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Do everything as I say, and all will be well!” Jeremiah 7:23 NLT
Welcome to all our new subscribers at Beyond Me Devotionals. It was a joy to worship and learn with you this weekend at the Living the Life Women’s Conference.
Can you remember the last time you heard someone speak or read your Bible and you knew God was calling you to a new way of living?
I had such an encounter this weekend. I made a commitment. Yes, Lord I’m going to obey You! I will follow You and Your words of direction. I will do what You say.
As I return to my “normal” routine and schedule – I have to admit it is hard. Breaking old habits and setting new ones stretches me out of my comfort zone.
Verse 24 of Jeremiah 7 says, “But my people would not listen to me. They kept doing whatever they wanted, following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts. They went back instead of forward.”
This morning are you listening? Are you following? Are you stretching to move forward? Are you obeying the call you heard when God nudged you?
Lord, let us be diligent in obeying Your still small voice when we hear it. Give us Your boldness and courage to follow through. Give us the vision to more forward, putting the past behind us. Amen.
Join me tomorrow night, Tuesday, 7-8pm at Christ Point Church in Corpus Christi for Bible study. We will begin the seven-week study Dirty Laundry Secrets - A Journey to Know the Launderer. Workbook available at class for $14 (tax included). More information here or email Alene here.

MAy not make it to class. But I do know about the changes that God has made this weekend.
I HIGHLY recommend the Dirty Laundry Secrets Bible study. When I first signed-up for the study at the very first of 2008, I wrote to Alene, "I don't what I am doing signing-up for a women's Bible study, but I believe I am supposed to do this!" I will always be glad that I did. God will bless you through the Dirty Laundry Secrets study if you dedicate yourself to the study and listen to what God will say to you through His Holy Word.
God bless you!

I hope that you will jump into the Dirty Laundry Secrets Bible study. After you finish the couse, perhaps you can do like I did and facilitate the study at work. It was warmly welcomed and more co-workers wanted more.
Your sister in Christ,

Sounds like a great bible study. I hope that all those who attend will be blessed.
