The stranger at the door probably wondered if I had a few screws loose or just needed hormone therapy. I’d rushed to make dinner for my family, put on something cute, and drive 20 minutes to join a new ladies Bible study. When I rang the doorbell, a confused man answered the door. The group was meeting somewhere else that night, but no one had let me know. The poor man looked even more confused when I started crying.
I overreacted, but the clincher was they’d changed the meeting night the week before without calling me, so I’d already missed the first study…

Love this Betsy! I know what it’s like to get stuck, and the only things that ever get me unstuck is focusing on God’s truths and promises! Have a lovely day and thanks for sharing on the #RaRaLinkup!
Thanks, Lauren. You have a lovely week yourself.
Great advice as always, Betsy! Love the practical, Biblical wisdom you continue to share here.
If you have a moment, could you please e-mail me at joanna underscore choate at sil dot org? I forgot you guys were in Dallas for a little while and I would love to cross paths if possible (even if only for a cup of coffee!).
Oh thanks so much for contacting me, Joanna. Will do. 🙂 I forgot you were in Dallas too!
God loves me, and I can trust Him. Oh what freedom we can find in those words. I would have been discouraged, too, Betsy. I love how you allowed God to teach you from that experience. Lovely post!!
Thank you, Leah. Those two simple truths are about all I can get my mind around some days. 🙂 But they are more than enough.
