Breaking Up The Ground

Hi girls,
We finally started our "Seeking Him" study. We are all very excited. I hope my posting won't confuse any of you because you are in lesson 4 or is it 5.
We weren't sure how to start. We thought the first day would be a lot of introduction on the video but it was only a few minutes long so we dove right in to lesson one. I like the analogy about the farmer having to work up the ground before any planting can be done. And when that happens in our hearts, its going to hurt(OUCH). And its going to reveal whats under there(YUK). Maybe something hidden and buried a long time. But we have to stick to it. We would never get off the surgery table and say "I'm out of here" before the surgeon was completely done with us. In the same way we can't quit the study before its complete. And I have a feeling even when the study is over the surgery won't be done. Scary but exciting...
"If we want to return to God, we must be prepared to break up the hard, barren ground of our spiritual lives."
