A Magnolia's Heart Beats

Welcome to Gathering At the Well. I'm so excited to be back visiting with you!

Chelsey is our host today. She has done a great outline on some upcoming features of The Well and jumps into some discussion questions for us to talk about.

When you read the Scripture found in Titus 2:2-5, how do you see this playing out in your own life?

"Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God." ~ Titus 2:2-5 (NIV)

This passage is so full of what we should be teaching and learning. I have learned from many godly men and women some principles that will stay with me forever. I have found that luckily I am moldable by God to change and grow, hopefully in the direction He has for me.

What are your areas of strength?

Leading by example and being willing to share the truths of this passage with other women around me.

Of weakness?

Not being as bold in standing up for what I know is wrong. I really need to become more outspoken and rather than simply sit back and listen, share when I believe something wrong is being practiced. I'm not saying I should make a scene, but really, I could be more bold.

"Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. " ~ 2 Corinthians 3:12 (NIV)

If you could set some sort of goal in relation to this Scripture, what would it be?

To become more bold as I share these truths with other women, not only in blog-land but in person. We have a great opportunity to mentor women in our lives. I have a post coming up later in the year on that, but also taking the opportunity to really break down Titus 2 and teaching on sections that I have been gifted with the wisdom to teach.

God has given us some great truths here and we must be about our Father's business in sharing them with other women and the children that we have in our lives. Let's not miss an opportunity, ladies!

"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." ~ Galatians 6:10 (NIV)
