ME, ME, ME. <br />thank you for those gentle and wonderful reminders. God is using you in such a way of encouragement- you are able to say what needs to be said but do so in such a loving and caring way. i appreciate you and your heart so much. <br />thank you.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463972684857892138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-60432214062895572402010-02-04T20:25:02.060-08:002010-02-04T20:25:02.060-08:00Amy, you have something inspiring to say in every ...Amy, you have something inspiring to say in every blog post!

I've just read through your whole blog over the past few days and I've come out feeling very humbled and like I'm not doing half as much as I should for God. In the church my family belongs to, they care so much about being saved that that is all they talk about, week after week. But here on your blog, not one mention. In fact, there are many others who also seem to agree with my conclusion: although getting saved is a necessity, after that there is a whole new life awaiting us ... I can't wait to see what God has in store for me this year, but even with encouragement from scripture and other quotes, there are many times when I do feel a bit lost and wonder about the why's, the how's ...<br /><br />I wish the word logistics didn't exist. But I think you've proved a lot that we don't need to think logically, even when we find ourselves doing so all the time!<br /><br />long ramble, sorry. amazing how many fantastic people we can meet online, when we live across an ocean from each other. What a blessing blogger has been- God does work in strange ways.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03961998695293937611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-70760576085582613112010-02-04T10:37:30.670-08:002010-02-04T10:37:30.670-08:00Amen!

NO! NO! It will to hard. She is too messed up. I don't want to take this on. I just can't do it. What will it do to my finances? What will it do to make children? What will it do to my marriage. What are people going to say. <br /><br />My flesh says, how about a little kid Lord. I can do that. A nice sweet little someone under the age five. I'll do that. Please don't ask me to do this though.<br /><br />It is a battle, everyday.<br /><br />One I must fight, in the spirit and with the word.<br /><br />Choosing the harder path. <br /><br />Choosing adoption is not going to put us on cross like it did our Savior.<br /><br />It will however, cause us to PICK UP OUR CROSS AND FOLLOW JESUS.<br /><br />Exactly what HE expects us to do.<br /><br />Death to self, Life in Christ, serving others.<br /><br />That is real truth.<br /><br />Do I choose to listen to the truth...or the lies?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-10198694651928253992010-02-04T07:18:40.205-08:002010-02-04T07:18:40.205-08:00Thanks!

Amy you are so right on.You should not apologize for using the word spoiled, because that perfectly describes today's society, can I add self absorbed to that? Of course we all want our needs met and our desires fulfilled but as Christian's our greatest desire should be to please the Lord. You are so right just like Christ gave us His all, shed His blood so that we may be saved, we should in turn strive to give our all to others.
