Faith and Commitment: Today, I’m reflecting on the balance between my desire to engage in Bible study leadership and the uncertainties that come with it. “Today, I’m reflecting on how I feel about attending Bible study tonight, which I don’t feel particularly excited about. It’s only once a month, and I struggle with consistency. I’m considering becoming a Bible Study leader but am unsure about my schedule and commitment levels, especially with travel and plans. I’m also excited about organizing my home, which has been a fun project involving friends, and I have goals for decluttering my closets.”
