So much of your heart in it, and what you said here "Jennifer's section on 'Hope in God' was very convicting to me. By not purposely choosing hope, I'm choosing despair by default. No, wait, I don't want the default. Why in the world would I, you, we willingly choose despair over hope? We shouldn't." <BR/><BR/>Isn't it true how we can so easily choose to despair over hope. I don't want default either. This chapter was so powerful, and you bring it to life here.<BR/><BR/>Love you my Friend.<BR/><BR/>CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550650176617319950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689868815257965373.post-33013490031420877112009-02-12T15:03:00.000-05:002009-02-12T15:03:00.000-05:00Paula-you commented on my blog today: "I wait in a...Paula-you commented on my blog today: "I wait in anticipation of what He will do in my "tomorrow". Oh, yes, Lord, make Yourself known to me in spectacular ways. Bring it on, Lord. I'm all ears, all eyes for You". <BR/>I so know this is your heart and that as his maidservant you are indeed waiting and searching and your tomorrow will be the blessing you so deserve. You are in your Fathers hands! Keep anticipating!!!<BR/><BR/>You are such a sweet blessing!<BR/><BR/>In His Graces~PamelaPamela (His maidservant)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15611570804370035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689868815257965373.post-67175170234054753942009-02-11T22:31:00.000-05:002009-02-11T22:31:00.000-05:00Thank you for your wise and insightful words!

It was timely for me, because I am in a situation with my church, that I'm in the process of leaving, where if these things had happened a few years ago, I would be in despair. <BR/><BR/>God has already prepared me for this in other ways, too, but this group and study are blessing me, and helping me see the ways God has given me reasons to have hope, and I'm actually relieved and looking forward to seeing where He leads me.<BR/><BR/>SueCorner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689868815257965373.post-32356206551596942712009-02-10T21:55:00.000-05:002009-02-10T21:55:00.000-05:00Heyyyy, Yep I just got my Paula fix and I thank Yo...Heyyyy, Yep I just got my Paula fix and I thank You for it.<BR/>I am just like you in this Wow when you spoke of the wheel of fortune that is me, I enjoy the challenge and my hubby says why do we have to watch this, I do say I like the challenge, then comes jeopardy, I am awful at that but I get excited when they have bible questions, now brad has been getting into jeopardy he likes it when he can guess the answers. I don't think I am bored I just like the show. Are you sure you are just bored? :) or did you realllly loike the show too? :) <BR/>I pray that I will conquer the physical leg, I have the sleeping problem going on, I just don't sleep. <BR/>I remember when our spirtual leg was cooked and ready to just fall off, but one thing I did learn was I had to change myself, once I started this the leg got stronger and stronger until it stands on it's own. I use to challenge myself in wanting to change everybody and everything around me, As I got deeper in the word and really started getting revelation word I saw myself and what I needed to change, as I changed so has everyone and everything around me.<BR/>Am I making sence here! hahaha!<BR/>I feel as though all four legs are steady on the floor, but would I get up on this table and dance on it to see how steady it is NO WAY!<BR/>It's something I have to keep working on. I want God to remind me to Relax he is in control, that he is giving me the peace I need to do all things and the strength I need to conquer this busy life style that we live in.<BR/>I love you and so appreciate what your heart writes. I can always relate. You always have my mind going a mile a minute after reading your posts. <BR/>Thank You again for another Ms. Paula fix it!<BR/>Have a Blessed day my friend<BR/>Love ya<BR/>Sharon<BR/>Ohhhh yea you like my new blog look! :) I like it too, I love what the backgrounds say. <BR/><BR/>xoxoxoxoxox<BR/>sure my post makes sense hahahaSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292404509675099875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689868815257965373.post-11469587025778627282009-02-10T21:13:00.000-05:002009-02-10T21:13:00.000-05:00i love the picture! the best thing about it is th...i love the picture! the best thing about it is that this time it was NOT on my tree!! it is amazing though! <BR/><BR/>I am with you on this post. walking it out along side!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786437981693413906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689868815257965373.post-91219631618334348212009-02-10T17:40:00.000-05:002009-02-10T17:40:00.000-05:00I love the picture...it was in the 70s here today,...I love the picture...it was in the 70s here today, so it made me smile to see ice.
