Here's what I said:<br /><br />How unbelievably true is THIS?! Amy's post represents the greatest form of pure and God-honest truth of how to achieve satisfaction and holiness: that there is not, in fact, an answer to the how. It all depends on God's will, because when all is said and done, it is His and only His intentions that will remain, and they are more meaningful than those of any creature in the universe. Thank you so much for teaching me this important lesson today.<br />Another lesson that I have been taught several times, but it remains hard for me to grasp: Reading the Bible, attending church regularly, and doing good here and there are NOT the things that will get you to the place you want to be (and in fact you shouldn't be doing it for a receiving back purpose in the first place) but if you wish to achieve true holiness, you must have faith, love, believe in God and do as He wills. HA - even just saying that to myself now it makes more sense; I shall one day wrap my mind around the truth!sleepinl8https://www.blogger.com/profile/13766066469221075012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-47956328894501116072011-02-25T11:01:47.132-08:002011-02-25T11:01:47.132-08:00We are heading to Kenya in July 2012 to pursue God...We are heading to Kenya in July 2012 to pursue God's calling on our family (of 8) of full time missions and I cannot tell you how much your words have encouraged me in the last several weeks.<br /><br />Seriously.<br /><br />And I'm gonna need you to stop reading my diary.

The irony is that even though we KNOW that suffering and struggling is often the best way to get to know the deep heart of God, we still resist because of our fear.<br />Thanks for the reminder that there is no guarantee that things will turn out rosy. :)Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032945144862346604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-77803633854986784822011-02-24T19:07:23.248-08:002011-02-24T19:07:23.248-08:00a very very timely reminder.

And even knowing this, we don't always feel like we are on God's radar when we traverse the storms. He is called Faithful and True, however, and His very nature won't allow Him to be anything less.It is so easy to think that when we do A, B and C that God will reward with D. We have gained great spiritual maturity when we realize that there are no formulas with God. And we are at peace with that.trustandobeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00882983227018954307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-31193546092355957252011-02-24T15:30:22.746-08:002011-02-24T15:30:22.746-08:00woot woot!!!!!!

God has been bringing child sex trafficking to my attention over and over again recently. I was brought to a site http://www.couragetobeyou.org We were created on purpose for a purpose! They are helping stop this horrific crime on children that is right in our communities. I am in Ohio. A quick search led me to see that Toledo is the 3rd largest city for child sex trafficking & slavery! These poor, innocent victims are usually treated as criminals & taken to juvenile hall when they need a home, love, and Jesus. The site hopes to bring awareness of this growing issue in the U.S. and establish Courage Homes for these children everywhere. I pray that God will awaken more of His people to fight against injustice and love these His children.

He and his wife had just adopted a girl from Russia whom they had to wait on for over a year after meeting her. They had been home with her for no more than 4 months, and his wife found him dead last night when she came home from only being gone about an hour. We are NOT promised tomorrow. His life had meaning and purpose, because he purposefully lived life. He was only 34 years old. Please pray for the Prestridge family in Louisiana.Katie raynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04189666362431643318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-40550083586662152942011-02-24T06:18:55.151-08:002011-02-24T06:18:55.151-08:00Well said!!
