So Very Much Excited!!!

Last night a friend and I met at Starbucks and began our summer bible study and I feel like a little kid with the excitement over it. My friend emailed me the bible study lessons we had to choose from and as I looked at them I just wanted to do them all! How could we choose just a few to go over these few months of summer? My mind began racing with ideas.....if we do this one and that one, then maybe I can do this one on my own! I couldn't take it anymore, I printed out the first lesson then promptly went to work on the first day, then found myself going beyond into the second day. I've never quite felt this way about a bible study before. I'm not sure why though.

So last night, my friend and I began working out the plan for our summer study. We haven't quite began our actual study so we spent the rest of our time talking about our lives, the things we've done, the things we struggle with in daily life, and the things we want to grow in. I look forward to being able to encourage and challenge each other, as well as having a routine and having someone holding me accountable.

Again, I'm not sure why this all excites me the way it does. It's not like I haven't done a bible study before. Maybe it's the meeting with another believer with the sole purpose to talk about what we are learning in The Word? Or maybe it's the opportunity to be encouraged in my walk with the Lord and the chance to be the same for another? It could be that I look forward to getting out of the house, away from kids, and having an adult conversation. But I think it's probably a little bit everything!

Whatever the reason, I am excited and ever so thankful for this opportunity. For years I've wanted to do a summer bible study with a small group of ladies, and this year is it! I can't wait for next Monday night! I'm so excited!
