FEAR

7/11/06

 

Hello S.

That was a very courageous move you made. Be encouraged! For God said in his word “ALL things work together for those who do his will”.  Telling the truth is always in God’s will. The scary part is that we do not know the persecution we may endure for standing up for the truth. But no matter what you go thru, as you said God is your provider. The wonderful thing about all that is transpiring is what you’re learning about yourself.  The things you are learning are irreplaceable. These lessons are the lesson’s that will build your faith.

Thanks for sharing, you have encouraged me to remember who my Tather is during this transition process, too.  There are many unknown and unclear paths I have ahead of me. There are situations in this process I want to take in my own hands and lie and get over to get the outcomes I desire. But, I have to trust as you did S. and stand to the truth and let God work out every area that comes as a blockage and appears beyond my understandings.

 

Love You Girly, I will keep this entire situation lifted in heaven.

Your sister in Christ, N

FEAR

Hi everybody,

I read this message on Fear and I'm sitting here all emotional because, once again, God has provided for my needs.  I am really under the gun right now -  a multimillion dollar contract that I monitor is in crisis. There have been a lot of serious ramifications from this.  My boss is trying to protect herself and I think I might take a big hit from this professionally. 

 

Please pray for me.  I've found myself wanting to revert back to my pre-Christ days of lying and scheming in order to protect myself.  I have been fighting this and realize it's out of fear. I know I don't have anything to fear because God is my provider and all things work for His purposes among those who serve Him.  I must admit, I have learned some things about myself and my character from this situation (good and bad).

 

This message from Elizabeth Elliott was really helpful, T., thank you for sharing it with us.

Yours in Christ, S.

Hi Ladies,

Bless God.  This list is awesome. (I'm choking a little on number
12)  Forgive me Lord. 

I'm going upstairs now and read those scriptures.
thank you

Hello Everyone,

7/7/06

Sorry I have been so quiet out here. I have been overwhelmed with things to do.

 

However, taking a look at this list, number 9 is what's being worked on in me at this time in my marriage. Whew, this is a difficult one; Because, I always have an opinion, judgment or better way to do something. (Smile) Mrs. Know-it-All as my husband would say. Lately I have been saying I don't know. I don't know. I don't have the answer for this one. Which is great because normally if I did not know the answer I would make something up that sounds real good so I can be right, The wonderful thing about this is I get to hear my husbands thoughts and opinion and God's voice.  It is humbling and inspiring all at the same time.
