* Glean empowerment to have courageous faith
Quotable Quotes from the Video:
We are all faced with the challenge of saying yes to God and going, sharing and doing whatever it is He has laid on our heart. (click to tweet)
The first thing we need to do is build a relationship with God and as we do that, over time, His voice will become louder and more clear in our spirits.
As we are are obedient in the small things, God will begin to reveal the big things.
We can allow Jesus to take our broken life and turn it around so that our life can serve as proof of the power of Jesus Christ. Â (click to tweet)
It’s not easy to step out in faith and do anything for God, but it’s especially not easy to do things that make us feel vulnerable or transparent, yet we are all called to use our lives to glorify God.
Regardless of whether our calling is small or big, behind the scenes, or on stage, we all have a divine purpose. (click to tweet)
No matter what God has called you to do, He is always with you.
Week 7 Reflection Questions:
How is your opinion of yourself today different from what it was at the beginning of this study?
What is one thing, small or big, that God has revealed He would like for you to step out of your comfort zone and do?
If you were to go all over town and tell how much Jesus had done for you, what all would you say?
Is what way has God healed your heart over the past few weeks of this study?
Name three ways God could use your past for a specific purpose, then pray for God to open doors for you to do so, and to give you open spiritual eyes to the opportunities He puts in your path.
*If you’d like to answer any of the above questions for others to be encouraged by, or just feel led to share your heart as we close out this study, please leave your comment on the blog*

Life has been so amazing. A little over a week ago I admitted and told God I was sorry for being disobedient and not do what he was telling me. I was hoping he would change his mind.!! I changed mine. He sent me away from the study to start taking steps to be able to help children in Children Ministries. I have applied for an intern ship at church. When I was 8 years old I lost all faith in adults and God. I didn’t learn all the bible stuff everyone else did because I had a mindset that adults were hypocrites. Having been going through not having a respect for Adults, he is calling me to be there for those children who may feel the same way. I can redirect them as I will be learning all the stories they are learning and hopefully be able to get them to open up and TRUST adults!
I am so excited. Last week when I admitted and forgave myself (I had been wondering who the Holy Spirit was) I was filled with the Holy Spirit. It was amazing. I was locating passages in the bible (I thought how does a pastor prepare a sermon? I would have a very hard time. He was sending me everywhere. I always wanted more time in a day (most do) we think time is slipping away from us. Ladies time is coming to us each and every day. Time is endless!!!
Tracie, I have truly enjoyed this study. I am working on catching up. I just needed to share.
Amen!!
Thanks for sharing Christy! It’s so exciting to see your enthusiasm and renewed passion for your faith, and how God is at work in your heart!
If I were to go all over town telling people what God had done for me I would have to include: He saw me in my sin, He loved me, He pursued me and brought me back to Him. He forgave me, He cleansed me, He strengthened me. He blessed me, healed me and brought joy back into my life. He changed my heart and my life. He continues to draw me closer to Him and is revealing His will for the rest of my life.
I am so thankful for all He has done. My life is so much better. Maybe not exactly like I would want it, but exactly as He had planned it.
I think that sometime I would like to lead a Bible Study using this book. So many women need to know that they are loved, beautiful and forgiven by God. They need healing in their lives and only One can completely heal. I will continue to pray about this.
Thank you Tracie for this study. I am going to miss it!!
Shirley
AMEN!!!
Thanks Shirley! How awesome would it be for God to use you to lead a study, based on what you’ve experienced by doing it yourself?! Love that He is nudging you out of your comfort zone to reach other women with His hope. 🙂
Thank you for this study, Tracie. You are a blessing. 🙂
I came into this study carrying a heavy load of regrets, mistakes, lots of pain and plenty of hurts. Never being able to forgive myself or others. Knowing I can never get back the precious time I’ve lost. I’ve learned that I have to put that in he past. God forgave me a long time ago and I need to forgive myself too. I have this dream now to start a home business. I’m trusting God to show me how to follow through. I’ve been trying to learn everything I can about it. The ladies on this website have been so helpful. I do get discouraged when I see how beautiful their work is. I know now my self talk is not of God. My whole life has been trying to reach for a prize but when I got the prize I didn’t want it anymore. Now I know where all that came from to. I don’t have to try to fit in anymore. I don’t have to try an be a people pleaser anymore. I have a place where I belong. So very thankful that God doesn’t run on our timetable or standards. This has been a very good study and I pray everyone has come away with a Godly perspective of what the future can hold for them. I have. Thanks to everyone who has prayed for me during this study. Lots of love to you.
Amen, amen and amen Sharon! It is such a blessing to know God is reshaping your perspective of yourself in Him, and Him as your loving Father. Hugs!
I have been a Christian for almost 30 years now. I have KNOWN GOD’s love for me and even felt it at times. I had however, believed the lie I was worthless, too broken.
BUT GOD has shown me the truth and I BELIEVE it!!!!
I am loved by the GOD of the universe, not just a little, but a ton! I am NOT worthless, but I am a child of the king!!
Whoo hoo! Praising God with you Heather!
Hello Tracie and fellow sisters in Christ,
I can’t say thank you enough to this study. It has opened my eyes. I wish I could say ,, yes, I now know my purpose. But, I’m not quite there yet. I do believe my relationship with God is closer. I believe the mountain is indeed moving, one rock at a time closer to where I can see that “promised land” that awaits on the other side of it. May God continue to bless each and every one of you! Much love! Tammy
The small thing that I am seeing God wants me to do is to start introducing myself to women at church. I long for female relationships, but I’m so shy. I have an expectation that someone else will do it, but it’s probably just as hard for them. I want to share my story, but I’ve got to build relationships first. As hard as it is, I know God wants me to step out in faith in this way.
Also, the way God has healed my heart is to relieve the fear I’ve been carrying. It was always clear to me how full of fear I was throughout my childhood, but God has shown me that I still have so much fear. It continues to creep up on me at times, but I am learning to give it to God and allow His power to strengthen me.
I praise God for this study, Tracie, and I thank you for the work you’ve put in to make this possible for us all. I have been so blessed by the women in this study, and to think I was so hesitant about doing an online Bible study! Thank you to Bonnie and Diane as well for facilitating our discussions and encouraging us all!
I would tell others that He has stood beside me through all of my lowest, most depressive states. He has put people in my life for very specific reasons, whether they are active roles, or just passing appearances that had a message, a sign, to give me. I have seen that happen more often in the last 9 months than I ever have. Maybe because I stopped and took the time to notice it all. But it has all definitely been there. People who have told me I’d be great at what I want to do. People who have told me to “stay sweet”. People who have told me they enjoyed talking with me, that I listen well. All of these things that show me I need to work with and for others.
God has healed my heart in that I believe my dreams are possible. I still have fears, but He is helping me overcome them, little by little. I can’t say enough how thankful I am. I don’t know if I would have come to this point, the point of getting closer to finding the courage to step out in faith, if I hadn’t started this study. I truly do believe life is a domino effect, and everything does happen for a true, divinely planned reason.
I can’t thank you enough, Tracie, for doing this study. I know that I came across this book for a reason. God wanted me to hear this message, and I would have never reached this point of confidence and excitement about my dreams of becoming a teacher and philanthropist, had a not picked this book up and started reading. Your words and writing have helped me start overcoming so much. (It has also inspired me to get back to my first love, and what I ultimately want to teach — writing. As well as literature) These last few weeks have been so inspiring and have had such an incredible impact that I didn’t expect. I hoped and prayed this book would reach me, would be the guidance and inspiration I’ve been needing and looking for for months now, but I had my doubts that anything could help me overcome how I’ve been feeling. But this book and study have made all the difference to me and my life, my calling and my purpose. I am truly thankful from the bottom of my heart. Thank you again, Tracie.
God Bless —
Candice
