Excited Newbie

I've participated in several Bible studies in person, but I've never done an online Bible study.  A while back, I stumbled onto the Proverbs 31 website.  In exploring the site, I say that they were going to be doing an online Bible study based on the book "A Confident Heart" by Renee Swope.  So, I read the description of the book:

Ever feel like you're not good enough, smart enough or valuable enough?  Renee Swope understands.  Even with a great family, a successful career, and a thriving ministry, she still struggled with self-doubt.  Sharing her own personal story, Renee shows you how to rely on the power of God's promises to find the security you need and the confidence you long for!

• Exchange fear-filled thinking with faith-filled believing
• Fail forward when life or sin sets you back
• Embrace your God-given purpose, passion, and personality
• See beyond who you are to who your are becoming in Christ

Powerful Scripture-based prayers are at the end of every chapter, along with Bible study questions and a chart with 31 promises to replace our most common self-doubts.

Have I ever felt like I'm not good enough? Yep.  Not smart enough? Yep.  Not valuable enough? Yep.  If I didn't know better, I would think this book was written just for me.  I have struggled with self-doubt for as long as I can remember.  I hope that this study will help me learn new techniques to deal with my self-doubt and to help me find the confidence I know I have somewhere in me.

I'm also excited to be doing my first online Bible study, and to have the opportunity to reach out to women I never would have known otherwise.  I hope that I'll be able to have a positive impact on someone else's life through this study.
