As I’ve mentioned before, I am currently reading “A Woman After God’s Own Heart” and I must say that this book is really challenging and changing me. I know in order to have a heart after God, I must grow spiritually, and to grow spiritually, I must grow in the knowledge of his Word. As Chapter 17 of the book focuses on spiritual growth, the author suggests that the reader create 5 of what she calls “FAT” files. It’s basically selecting 5 areas you would like to become an expert in and label a file for each of them, choosing areas from a spiritual perspective (hence spiritual growth). She states “Personal spiritual growth is all about preparation for ministry. It’s about filling yourself up first so that you have something to give.” The idea is to aim at expertise in those areas that you’ve chosen so that you can help someone else.
My 5 FAT files (Spiritual Growth) are: Worship, Parenting (Being a Mother), Marriage (Being a Wife), Serving and Time Management.
I’m excited about learning and helping others! If you had to choose 5 areas that you wanted to be an expert in, what would it be?
