There are risks with your choices, and the benefits to honoring God are always immeasurable because He is unfathomable to us. (You know I do believe it is really that simple. I also figure you will want to chew on this one.) <BR/>I've developed a habit of praying to see some small bit of His purposes for the stuff that hurts, and He has consistently given that blessing. I am usually blown away by what He does to transform ordinary into extraordinary.Holly (me.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05506679179640236358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004221617321524073.post-29909957679049146612008-01-03T10:05:00.000-06:002008-01-03T10:05:00.000-06:00Wow.

And I'm being called to give it out unreservedly for little people who may not even get to become a permanent part of our lives. And if so, the challenge remains...to continue to give it freely even when I KNOW how much it hurts. Thank you for ever challenging and encouraging me on this path we share together!gracie :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16736417091010028486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004221617321524073.post-24515660008485942092008-01-01T20:39:00.000-06:002008-01-01T20:39:00.000-06:00Ahh...to give up our own agendas is one of the har...Ahh...to give up our own agendas is one of the hardest things to do...fear of losing control, I guess. But when we do and allow the One we trust to guide us and be in control, what a blessing to behold :) <BR/>Thanks for posting this...we are similar in more ways than you know!<BR/><BR/>Blessings on this new year and what lies ahead for you and your family-<BR/>Christy :)Magical Vellamohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16633759170054768998noreply@blogger.com
