It is safe to say, number one on my list is essential. Who would I be without my God in my life? I placed this goal first because I am guilty of not putting Him first, and I need to start learning from Him.

My best friend Dana is the one who has sparked accomplishing my first goal. She asked me if I wanted to join a bible study at Wheaton Bible Church a couple of weeks ago. I was very eager to join, but I had no idea to what to expect. In fact, I still have no idea what to expect.

We are only two weeks into the study with Beth Moore, and I can already feel God working in my life.

The study is surrounding the book of James, and the way Beth Moore leads the study is absolutely amazing. She mentioned that she took about a year to prepare for this study, and boy did she dive deep into the bible. This woman definitely did her research! The time she took to go through the background of the book of James is inspiring. I have already learned so many things about Jesus' brother and the relationship they had with one another.

The bible is so complex and it's hard for me to wrap my head around it at times, but I am confident this study will help me understand James and the words he wrote. Actually, I just learned yesterday that the book of James might have been the first book written in the New Testament. (See, I'm learning a lot!) :)

I am extremely blessed to have a best friend who encourages me to grow spiritually and I am so happy to experience this with her.

I am more than excited to learn about James. I'd really appreciate your prayers as I participate in this study, so thank you in advance.

Cheers to being on my way to accomplishing the most important goal on my list!

Stay beautiful,
Marina
