Howdy. 😊

My schedule is pure chaos - so don't go by my days, if there's a conflict on the day chosen, due to my schedule. I tried to pick Monday & Tuesday as options - cuz they both have the same issues for me; but it only let me choose 1, so I put Tuesday. Here's my break down on the days: Always at church on Wednesday 5PM - 9PM (Central - all of these times are) - so that's out for me, unless it's really late. Mondays nights are open except for 1st & 3rd Mondays I have a ZOOM meeting from 6PM - 8:30PM - so it half/half works for me. Tuesday nights are open except for 2nd Tuesday is a meeting from 6PM - 8PM (but I sometimes skip it for more important things lol) & the last Tuesdays I have a ZOOM meeting from 5:30PM - 7PM (but that hopefully will be ending - won't know until Oct1st) - so it's half/half as well; but is a bit more changeable than Monday. As you can see - crazy schedule. 🙄 I will work whatever day is chosen into it somehow; cuz this is a top priority for me. 👍

This is not a "new" discovery; but it applies to The Plot, so I thought it might help someone new to Bob's teaching. The first time I read The Plot, what stood out for me was learning how God was answering our arguments over time periods. I had always wondered about a few little things, like why did He say not to punish Cain? We all have those "God questions" on why didn't He do it this way, or that way - not only in history, but in our current lives. It's so cool to see how He answered those questions, before we even asked them. It really shows He is personal with us. That no matter what we think, or question, about Him; He is fine with us asking. There's never a time where God will "clutch the pearls", & say how dare you say that to me! And when you get to that point in your walk with Him, where you share EVERYTHING - the good, the bad & the ugly - it's one of the greatest blessings He has given us. That our Father will wrap His arms around us, & say let Me show you the answers to your questions. It's not always in our "time limits"; but He always does it. I have walked with Him since I was 12; & I can't think of a single time He has not taken the time to teach me about why He does what He does. That's what all great Dads do. 😊

I just got a new insight during the coffee time chat. I have been debating whether the issues in my church were something I needed to leave over. The Biblical teaching is OK; but actually living by what was taught was popping up a lot. I don't mean just sin - we all sin everyday. But for example, teaching 1 week that we must keep the vows we make. But then excusing the breaking of a vow, because the person claims "God told them to break it." I was told I could not correct that issue, because I have no clue if God told that person to break it or not; but God does not break His Word. Anyways, I tend to look for God leading to something, rather than just away from something, before I act on anything; & during coffee time there was a clear answer. It was very healing to know others are in similar situations. That the church leadership may not be 100% accurate; but they are still staying there to be a light to the body about the truth. And that was my big issue - this is my church family. Many times I learned more from the members of that family than from the leadership anyways; so I really did not want to leave them. The Coffee time chat showed me this is a place I can go to when I need some leadership, based on the Bible as the ultimate truth. So thanks for providing a great resource! 👍
