Over the break I was able to locate my next text for PRABE.  I tried to get into the self-help book but it was just all over the place, not much help at all.  About 6 months ago I bought a journal/book is called "God's Promises for Women".  The journal gives you scriptures to read as well as a place to write down what you have learned from what you have read.  I have decided that sharing what I have learned would be more beneficial than a self-help book.

Each week I will go over 3 parts at a time so that I can have a way to break up what I have read/worked on.  For the first part I read about how God has assigned a "helper" for each and every person; whether that be a helper via marriage, via family, or even those who choose to do covenant work.  The scriptures that really stood out to me were John 15:16 "You did not choose Me, but I chose you." and also Hebrews 13:1-19.  I am reminded that God chose me to be his helper, to spread his word, to be his child just as he chose my husband, a special partner that was meant just for me.  This made me feel like I was special and so when I am down I remind myself that I am chosen for a greater purpose and this too shall pass.

The second part I read was about letting go of what we cannot handle and turning our worrries over to Christ as well as being encouraging to others.  The bible reference that came to mind during this part is Hebrew 10:23.

The third part speaks on the Lord being a shield around us.  Psalm 3:3 "But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the one who lifts my head.  The other scripture I read in relation to this was James 2:14-26.
