Resist the urge to control the uncontrollable by finding peace in between the problem and the promise. Remember, the ark wasn't built in a day. And this incredible thing God is building in you won't happen in a day either.” (p. 113) Waiting on words of affirmation from other can also become a place of disobedience in our lives.” (p. 112-113)
Flooded: The 5 Best Decisions to Make When Life Is Hard…
Most of us know what it's like to whisper those words to God. Hard circumstances often stir something so destructive in a soul: doubt . The stories about the Fixer Upper Farm are also a wonderful touch to the book! I have been around barns and horses most of my life, and this made this book even more reliatable to me. Some of the stories are absolutely hilarious to the point I was in tears, to genuinely heartfelt stories about loss and finding our new paths. I lost my heart horse a few years ago and it was such a hard place to walk through, especially leading up to and right after her loss. My equestrian journey hasn't been all that I thought it would be since losing her, but I hope one day to find the joy I once had with that one horse. Some of us are building something in faith. And some of us are building something out of fear … Faith and fear both fight for you to believe in something you cannot see. Choose your battles wisely.” (p. 195)One of my favorite things about the Bible study guide was the "one thing you're trusting God for today". I've been choosing a new thing each day and God has shown Himself faithful. I also enjoyed the weekly verse that we're given to memorize. In Flooded, counselor and bestselling author, Allison Edwards explains how parents, teachers, and counselors can identify when children have entered The Flood Zone. She also offers suggestions for teaching children (and adults!) how to regain control of their emotions. No matter how many times I've pleaded with God about His timing, we don't get to change the timeline of God.” (p. 109)
Flooded Study Guide: The 5 Best Decisions to Make When life
The destination of the ark is something we never see God show Noah...Listening becomes hard because we don't know exactly where we're going.” (p. 60) To combat the time commitment, I decided to read the chapter ahead of time so the time could be spent focusing on the guide and Bible passage. God commands. Noah listens. And repeat. Is it possible we're experiencing unbelief in our lives because we haven't been willing to take a posture of humility?” (p. 50) Quiet the fear that God won't come through by discovering the difference between wishful thinking and biblical hope.When your brain perceives danger, your body and mind will go instantly into one of three modes—flight, fight, or freeze. Your heart races, your body tenses up, your hands shake, and your emotions take over rational thought. The timing of this book & this message is truly miraculous! I think it's safe to say that many of us have questioned God through the last calendar year. When circumstances are unknown & unpredictable, we feel flooded.
