I opened a Life Coaching book, after asking God for a focus, found the quote, rushed to the library because our internet was down, and wrote the post as it came...it seemed like a ramble as I wrote it, but somehow I had to trust that it was writing itself, which is what my posts usually do, it's just that I usually have more idea ahead of time how the ramble will go. So of course it is validating to know that I struck oil, as in truth, human and spiritual truth, and that what I offer has worked for you and others and me for another week. God is faithful.<br /><br />Bless you all...and thanks for writing. Take care, Belinda. Sorry you missed the writers' conference. My husband and daughter made it and I have been home on my own.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16360165894094481341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-6497734985379669942009-06-20T15:47:55.617-04:002009-06-20T15:47:55.617-04:00Great, Meg! Thanks.
If anyone is in Christ, s/he ...Great, Meg! Thanks.<br /><br />If anyone is in Christ, s/he is a new creation. That means learning a new language, which is no small task (believe me, I've working on my Spanish). It takes immersion so we can recognize the sound of the new language we are trying to learn and also begin to recognize what is NOT part of the new language:<br /><br />"You're so stupid, worthless."<br />"You'll never amount to anything."<br />"It's your job to make sure everyone is happy."<br />"It's your fault things fell apart."<br />"If only you'd....."<br />Etc., etc.<br /><br />I would never tolerate someone saying these things to one of my friends, but I often tolerate the "old voices" whispering them in my own ear.<br /><br />We are saved in an instant, but the process of sanctification, of being renewed, redeemed and restored back to health takes the daily walk.<br /><br />Oh, I've gone on a ramble again.......sorry. You've pushed a button. (I like that.) <br /><br />Press on, gently.Marilynhttp://www.asgoodadayasany.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-85369043805786595992009-06-20T13:30:34.337-04:002009-06-20T13:30:34.337-04:00Hey Friends,

Oh, how I pray that I don't lose any of the lessons learned. It was a week of fruitfulness in many ways that could never have been under my usual circumstances.<br /><br />Just listening to his voice is the most important thing in the world we could do. Thanks Meg for this focus today.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251920708783268740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-41100269939223920642009-06-20T10:35:34.364-04:002009-06-20T10:35:34.364-04:00I once read a book called "Tell Yourself the ...I once read a book called "Tell Yourself the Truth." It talked about knowing which voices were godly and which weren't and then tuning in to listen only to those that are from the Spirit of God. It's not an easy concept to master and I find myself slipping more often than I'd like. The idea of God restoring the years the locusts have eaten has been my theme these past few years. It is true, and He will!Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09145504027833176749noreply@blogger.com
