wow- did this ever speak to my heart today…thank you so much. I must admit it is difficult for me to “wait” on the Lord- I want all the answers right now! Love the picture of being “broken” and settling “down in His arms quiet and teachable.” Love those words. thank you so much…

Great advice Glenn…..I love it! By doing this you are almost receiving twice as much because you get the initial peace and then sometimes even more understand when you attempt to explain it to another. Thanks for sharing.

Recently I have found it helpful to not simply draw peace from a particular verse but instead write down (or journal if you will) exactly why the verse or passage speaks to me. Pretend you have to explain to someone what about the verse gives you peace and why. I find that helps solidify my thoughts on the verse(s) and builds my faith.

I would love to have you at 9AM on the radio in COLUMBUS OHIO!:-) Wow, I could drop of my 15 year old, then go over to the starbucks, and sit in the van and listen to “y’all” talk about what the Lord is teaching you!
If I could stop by I would- same time- but it’s a little bit of a drive;-)

Wow, I didn’t know I could listen to this – now I have something to listen to on my lunch break when I can’t go for my walk…

“What if” that is something I try not to say anymore! So true, 99% of the time…There is “NO WAY we know what will happen in the future” – another so true. Grasp His hand YEAH! I sure want to enJOY the NOW! FEAR NOT!!! I will trust in the LORD!

Amanda,

I am grateful you mentioned praise and thankfullness sometimes being a sacrifice. That is so true and something I easily forget. We should never have to be in a certain mood to be able to worship and give praise yet sometimes I am guilty of having preset conditions. Only by His grace am I saved. He is always worthy and deserving of our praise.

Very good Weeta, You are right. I know I have lost control of my children, but I see them happy and continuing on their path. We will always be there for them.Marg
