Imagine my amazement when I saw my name!! Very cool that something I spoke on has stayed with you-- you always wonder if people take what you say to heart, or are even paying attention. So, thanks!<BR/>I love that story and reflect on it often. <BR/>Maybe someday I can come speak to your ladies at your church-- it sounds like a great place!Marybeth Whalenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138498344723215611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026341063547188884.post-54007395664767805692007-09-25T12:18:00.000-07:002007-09-25T12:18:00.000-07:00Ok so I took this post probably differently than m...Ok so I took this post probably differently than most of you this week. I am not married nor do I have kids and my family lives about 3 hours from here, but it made me think about how I spend my time with them when I go home especially since all most all of them are not Christians. I think it would be easier if I lived closer to them, but I have to take advantage of every time I am home to continue to be a servant. In the past year my dad has given his life over to Christ and I know my mom is not far behind. I just keep praying and trying to be his hands and feet while I am home. <BR/><BR/>Even though I don't have kids I want to encourage all of you to take as much time as you can with yours because we grow up so fast. My parents still can't believe I am finished with college and I don't live at home anymore, let alone that my little brother turns 14 next month. In the grand scheme of things we only are here on this Earth for a short time that has already been determined. Take advantage of everyday.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391217935209214716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026341063547188884.post-45723099481933846322007-09-24T07:41:00.000-07:002007-09-24T07:41:00.000-07:00WOW - as I read this on Monday morning (I've been ...WOW - as I read this on Monday morning (I've been at Emmaus since Thursday evening), I had to wonder if you wrote this before you saw the Friday devotion from P31 (I read it earlier this morning). I was preparing to send you an email to ask but decided to read the comments first. HA! As I read 'The Olive Branch' devotion, I had to wonder if God was telling me that my family needed more of my attention! As I drove to work this morning my thoughts were on the events of the past weekend, and then drifted to the logistics of several projects that I'm working on in the next several months.

I almost posted a different devotion this morning. You see, I’d been working on this one all week and just wasn’t happy with it. I was afraid it was coming off as too “preachy” even though any convicting power it might have is directed more to me than anyone (maybe that’s why I wasn’t happy with it!). So I had decided last night--without praying about it--to pull a different, “lighter” one from my pipeline. Well, guess what…God corrected me this morning as I read today’s Proverbs 31 devotion. It was stated differently, but dealt with the exact same issue! I saw that as confirmation that I needed to proceed with the original. (The P31 devotion is called “Be There” and you can read it at www.proverbs31devotions.blogspot.com if interested.)Women's Ministry Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367624425650843428noreply@blogger.com
