We then have to spend some time adjusting to the change/area of new and many times painful growth and then we move into a new area to begin the cycle again. Life is the journey that never ends e en though sometimes we get to stop and rest a bit. <br /><br />On another note, don't you just love glimmer mist? I'm getting ready to play with the Ranger ones soon.

I read this book years ago and probably need to read it again...many of his words were coming back to me as I struggle through my thoughts this week. I am wondering if God is trying to ignite some dreams and hearts desires, and I am putting water on them because of past disappointments.<br /><br />I have just finished "Fresh Brewed Life" by Nicole Johnson...a second reading, first read 10 years ago...she stirs those deep desires also.<br /><br />Great post..goes so well with the word God had given me in January...so I need to go back and seek His face again in this area.Janettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817931270142622081.post-60956234988259616322011-08-05T05:46:25.202-04:002011-08-05T05:46:25.202-04:00my heart

Then after awhile they've added up to a bundle and it hits me harder. Jesus is my only true comfort. But I would like to know for sure that I am balancing correctly. I don't feel I can always trust my human frailty and yet I hope I am not dismissing parts of me that I need to become all God designed me to be.<br /><br />I look forward to reading more posts from you on this subject and through this book you are finishing. I need to hear it all too!<br /><br />♥Lee AnnLeeAnn@Encouragement Is Contagioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115472068334541489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817931270142622081.post-54802683418828335882011-08-04T16:55:22.615-04:002011-08-04T16:55:22.615-04:00Mar, your post today has taken me to a place I did...Mar, your post today has taken me to a place I didn't want to go....It's easier to ignore that discontent or get busy and then just when you think you've settled in, you get a twinkle that says "there's more"....are you willing to go after it"?

I am beginning to truly believe that the "hard stuff" is just inevitable in this world and our job is not to ignore it, or get consumed by it but to love through it. That is the hardest job...but I think it is the one that will bring us closest to Being what we were really put on this planet to be. <br />And yes, knowing that we are struggling thorugh this and also loving one another through it, is a treasured blessing.<br />Light and love to you, Beautiful Mary !Kim Mailhothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849980369873306402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817931270142622081.post-68110798635916610512011-08-04T15:14:16.991-04:002011-08-04T15:14:16.991-04:00I so enjoy your post.
