She might be, but I wasn't aware...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, this is great. I love this blog! Keep up the good work. I used to write all the time before the girls were born, I should try this blogging stuff...see if it comes back naturally or not!Bethany Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618697095740185919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026341063547188884.post-87034034390332254462007-09-08T05:54:00.000-07:002007-09-08T05:54:00.000-07:00When I woke up this morning I decided to read this...When I woke up this morning I decided to read this weeks devotional. I was already wrestling with myself over reading chapters 1 & 2 of the book John has assigned to us or reading another book (fiction) strictly for pleasure. After reading the devotional I knew what I should do. <BR/>I just finished chapters 1 & 2 and thought WOW! I just had a conversation the other day with a coworker about church. I had brought up something about church and she told me that she went to the church of Jill. (reminded me of last weeks devotional) She had a previous bad experience when she visited a church. I only listened to her and try to tell her that not every church was that way and not every Christian acted that way, etc, etc. I came away from that conversation thinking that I should have said more. But now, after reading this book, I'm thinking, maybe I've just opened up a line of communication with her that could lead to something more positive, from me or someone else talking to her.<BR/>I'm glad I made the choice to read this book and not the other one that was only for my own pleasure.<BR/>Thanks for reminding me what my priorities should be.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846544483198135988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026341063547188884.post-86371820083832439892007-09-07T12:58:00.000-07:002007-09-07T12:58:00.000-07:00OUCH!!!

I was doing SO good this summer getting up early each day and spending time reading my bible and praying. And recently, for some reason, I've been so tired that I can't drag myself out of bed. I've even re-set my alarm clock for about 30 minutes later just for the extra sleep (and so I would just get up and not slam the snooze button). This morning, I got up, wandered to the kitchen, poured my coffee and went to the living room to sit with David (who by the way got up early to make that coffee!!) His comment to me was, 'Where's my girl who used to get up and read her Bible every morning?'<BR/>Tomorrow morning - I'm back on it. And I can assure you, the world will seem a whole lot brighter for the effort!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Karen for the simplicity. I too sometimes worry that I'm 'hearing' something so simple that any dork could figure it out. Then I wonder if I'm just 'working it out' to fit my own agenda. And then I come to the conlcusion that I AM the dork, and God has to KISS me frequently!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08588202629264096388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026341063547188884.post-76361068935801642007-09-07T10:42:00.000-07:002007-09-07T10:42:00.000-07:00Wow!

First,...Karen, I think your perception is dead-on. First, you ASKED the Lord to show you. He doesn't disappoint when we want to know him better. Second, comparing the sacrifice of Judah's with giving up sleep seems legit to me because they're both geared toward surrender to God's Lordship. I love your insight AND your gift for laying it all out in such a friendly "Karen-like" way. How encouraging! Love ya, Girl!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049151488590970260noreply@blogger.com
