The ladies of High Pointe had a wonderful weekend away and were blessed by hearing from Nola Moseley!
I wanted to post some application questions from Nola’s speaking so that we can spend more focused time in reflection.
Friday night, Nola shared portions of her life story and how God had used “holy interruptions” for His glory and her good in her life. Some thoughts she brought out were:
1. What does your life say about where your focus is?
2. Do you think you are fooling God when there is a part of your life you still want to control and won’t surrender to Him?
3. Are there areas in your life that you are giving provision for your flesh?
4. Are you pouring into the lives of others or……
5. Are you comfortable and/or complacent in your life? What will it take for God to get your attention?
Saturday: Colossians 3:1-17
1. Are you being still and listening to what God is trying to tell you?
2. What is the one thing that gets in the way of your setting your mind on Christ? (I myself have multiple items)
3. What sin in your life are you “employing” therefore digging in your heels and being obstinate about? (v. 5-8)
4. Read verses 5-8 and prayerfully access your life.
5. How are you clothing yourselves according to v. 12? How are you representing Christ?
6. Is there someone you need to forgive? (v. 13)
7. Are you taking opportunities to pour into the lives of others? (v. 16)
8. Can you say you can do EVERYTHING in your life in the name of the Lord Jesus? (v. 17)
Ultimately, how is your daily life and purpose playing out?
If you need help working through these questions, please consider the relationships you built in your break out sessions and be an encouragement to one another! We are blessed to have such wonderful women at High Pointe! And just as it was stressed after our sessions, if you have any questions about what it means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, or as Nola stated, be a Christ-follower, please contact us! That’s where the first holy interruption begins!
I pray that God continues to conform us to His image.

Following Christ involves whole-hearted obedience in all areas of our service to Him. It is very easy to get distracted, sometimes by good things. When that happens, we may experience a holy interruption from God. And when it comes, although it can bring heartache, we will discover in the end that He is a good Father and He does all things well.
