If you say, I read a book of the bible each month and then meet up with a group of ladies and drink tea and we all share our verses...it's a 'ding-dong' moment...it's tumble weed...it's my mum has curly hair and brushes her teeth...
And yet that is what I do! And I love it.
Nothing speaks to me like the bible, and so directly into my life...right into the moment, the bad mood, the confusion, frustration, upset...in fact the worse the mood, the better the RBT (but that might just be me). In any case I've been having a rough time one way or the other but today I was helped greatly by 1 Samuel 13: 19-21
19 Not a blacksmith could be found in the whole land of Israel, because the Philistines had said, “Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears!” 20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their plough points, mattocks, axes and sickles[f] sharpened. 21 The price was two-thirds of a shekel[g] for sharpening plow points and mattocks, and a third of a shekel[h] for sharpening forks and axes and for repointing goads.
this is just some seemingly random verse about the Israelites not having blacksmiths because then they can't make weapons...and from this I'm like it's okay I have my place, I'm okay...it's not so bad, I don't have to keep fighting.
How did I get that from that?
And that's why I love RBT...even though you know I get some 'special needs' looks.
As a single mother, maybe as a woman, you have no real weapons, when you fight you end up hurting yourself. But to not fight, especially if the past is complicated and the present is difficult you have to know you have your place... that your 'bundle' is in the 'bundle', praise God for the mercy he shows to women like me.
