I'm really excited about starting our ladies Bible study tonight!
But I am very weary of small group. We met last night to discuss what we wanted from small group. I froze. I didn't say a word. I wanted to, but for some reason, I couldn't. My husband was disappointed in me, which makes me sad. I really feel the need for a break, but I couldn't say it. I have a hard time voicing opinions that I SHOULD voice and a much too easy time voicing opinions that I should keep to myself!

I understand that problem! ;-)
As far as small group, I think sometimes taking a break is the best thing that we can do. Otherwise, if you just keep on and keep on when you really need a little bit of a break, then you completely burn yourself out and you never want to go to small group again. But if you take a break every once in a while, it gives you a chance to take a deep breath and then come back later with a new and fresh enthusiasm.
I pray that God will give you the boldness to speak when you should, the self-control to reamain silent when you need to, and the wisdom to know the difference!
I love you today, my friend!

What a keen inight. And how true for so many of us, including me.
Thanks for your honesty today!
I am hearing you...when is discernment really discernment and opinion really just opinion...and when do you express either one in an appropriate way that you won't regret a moment later? Where does the Wisdom thing kick in...at age 40? 50? I keep expecting it at any moment only to be disappointed by another 'I should have said' at the end of the day. Sometime life is hard.
