We're still figuring it out. :) <br /><br />Yes indeed... life is full of learning opportunities. <br /><br />That is a great idea! I've done that for a while, actually. It's amazing how many there are when you look for them. <br /><br />Thank you again! I will, as time permits...Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385741682234449335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707967635101530299.post-34100195899696893512012-08-26T19:21:47.119-04:002012-08-26T19:21:47.119-04:00Great post!

That is so true for me to.<br /><br />I think it is very good idea to list the gifts that God has given me and thank Him for them. It reminds of the verse in James that talks about how every good and perfect gift is from our Heavenly Father. So everything good and perfect that happens to us is a gift from Him.<br /><br />Very good post.

Our focus ends up shaping who ...How true, Carissa! Our focus ends up shaping who we are. I had a big struggle over the past few years with uncertainty about my future. God seemed to be persistently choosing not to reveal to me what my "life calling" was -- at least not in a way I understood. Then I realized two things: First, there were a lot of things I knew I needed to do at that particular time, and I needed to focus on doing them well. Second, that my desire to have a plan was partly pride and partly fear (although quite natural, I realize), and if God had let me see the way ahead, it would only have confirmed me in those things. After praying for guidance and peace for a long time, this past spring I finally felt that God had given me acceptance of only seeing one step ahead. I have a friend who calls this "Just following." What an adventure! To those of you looking for great endeavor, risk, and life-changing experiences, I recommend following Jesus!<br /><br />Love in Christ,<br />EdithEdithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12800511819019011056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707967635101530299.post-11646230043723354032011-08-19T18:57:30.068-04:002011-08-19T18:57:30.068-04:00Totally awesome. :D I love it!
