I'll keep this on my mind today - thank you! :)
Thanks, Em, for the good words. Isn't this what Paul means by "taking captive every thought to the obedience of Christ", "setting our hearts on things above" and "pressing on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of us"? The enemy within (sin) and the Enemy without work in tandem to draw our hearts and minds ever away from the One True God and Lover of our souls. May you find Him to be the joy of your life and your heart's desire today and every day.
I love you!
Mom
Preach it sista! :) Thanks for sharing. So encouraging to see others "in waiting" truly looking to the Lord. What a shower of blessing we're gonna experience when we see God's glorious plan revealed. Can't wait to hear shouts of rejoicing comin' from your way!! :) Blessings, ~Shelly
Yes! Obviously, the Lord is trying to tell me something, because this issue keeps popping up lately. It's so easy to slip into the pattern of chewing on problems or sufferrings over and over. But, that only serves to take our eyes/minds of Christ and worshipping Him. I know that for me it is an act of sheer determination (and the Lord's discipline) to put aside "me-ness" and mulling on troubles and focus on the joy of the Lord. Thanks for the reminder, Emily! Have a blessed, Christ-focused day full of JOY!
okay ya know what? I love this a lot!
Emily, today would be great! Can u make that happen! Oh, i am focusing on your amazing post instead!!
xoxo
totally, love the tee shirts and matching slacks would be perfect! Like real cacky slacks...hehe
And let the church say.....AMEN!! I so much need the word in me DAILY in order to renew my mind..what then would the holy spirit use to help me set my mind on things above(Col. 3:1-2)
LOVE IT girly!! thanks for the encouragement
Love it. I attend a friday morning group that just last week studied Romans 12:1-8
Good stuff...
I love your little nuggets! I so easily fall into the pattern of focusing on the circumstances around me. No wonder I am exhausted all of the time!! Praying for you friend.
Love,
Lindsey
P.S. We will be in Dallas in 2 weeks!!!! I would love to see you. You should take your girls to Girls of Grace!!!!
Great Em! Just like we were saying today, it's so easy to get caught up in the settling or strategy of circumstances that we forget His perfect timing and the rest He offers in it.
