Week 3 Postings
1. Read the wagon and the rocks story on pages 48-51. Take a look in your wagon. Which rocks has God asked you to carry? Which rocks have you unwisely and sometimes unconsciously volunteered to carry for someone else?
2. Do you ever feel the driven, perfectionist, spiritual Martha Stewart coming out in you? What does she look like at home? What does she look like at church?
3. Share a favorite thought or moment from this week's study.

Which rocks has God asked you to carry?
Sometimes I am not sure I know the difference! I am a mom so it is natural for me to take on the burdens of my children. When do we begin to no take on those burdens? Or is God even asking us to in the first place?
1. Which rocks have you unwisely and sometimes unconsciously volunteered to carry for someone else?
Probably my children's. As a teacher I sometimes think I take on the burden of my student's and God is not asking me to do that.
2. Do you ever feel the driven, perfectionist, spiritual Martha Stewart coming out in you?
Not very often. I get too caught up in everyday life and my spiritual life suffers.
What does she look like at home? What does she look like at church?
This week has not been a good week for me and I needed to be more like Mary. Instead, I feel like I was more than the devil! Friday is finally here and things are looking better! I have been praying for this to get better and I finally feel better about it today.
