Finally back to studying...

I started my PWOC bible study today. I am very glad it has started because I need some bible study BAD.

Amy asked about PWOC, I have written about it before, but I may not have explained exactly what it is. It is just a women’s bible study that they have at the main chapel on base. PWOC stands for Protestant Women of the Chapel. It is for women of any Protestant denomination. It is once a week and set up in semesters like the school year--there is one class you pick for the fall semester and then you choose another for the spring semester. It is a really great thing. They have free childcare and there is praise and worship time and food. They have different clubs like scrap booking or bunco or just activities for wives whose husbands are deployed that meet maybe once a month at night. I never go to the club things because I don’t live on base, but they are a great way to fellowship more with other women and to keep busy while the husbands are gone (with good things!). The PWOC here and the one at our last base are big ones because the post is big. I really don’t know how many women are there but I am sure it is around 100. (Oh, there are like 9 classes to choose from-not 100 women all in one class!)

I have been looking forward to PWOC starting back up this fall. I really need to be around those women. There are some awesome women there. The kind of women who make me feel like I need to be a better Christian, step up and DO some of the things God tells me to do or say what he tells me to say! There is a really good reason that we are told to fellowship with other believers.

Like I said, it was about time bible study started up. I need to be around other Godly women. I need to study the word again, not just read whatever I feel like, I need to hear some good bible teaching and hear amazing insights from other women. I need to be challenged to be what I am supposed to be.

The study I am doing now is Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed. It is about the life of David and it is from Priscilla Shirer, Beth Moore, and Kay Arthur. It is going to be GOOD! I am already benefiting from hearing Priscilla on the video today. She spoke about being anointed. Man oh man, do I NOT feel anointed lately. But I am and that video has helped me all day.

I was not kidding about needing this. I have been in a bad mood for at least two days. No reason. No good reason anyway. I sure hope this is something hormonal! If it is then there is hope of it leaving soon! And I am so tired and I have been at least since school started. If it is not just hormones, then the devil is attacking me hard (maybe the hormones is just one of his methods!). I must be about to do something really good….LOL at least I hope so. I will have to force myself out of this mood so I will be paying attention and not miss whatever it is I am supposed to do!

I am even thinking about going to the PWOC conference in Missouri in November. I will let you know what I decide!
