Not because of the waiting list, or that the tickets are sold out. It's the finances. The time, the finances, being off work, the full cost finances. (see a trend?) Ugh, it's ugly - this anxiety. This giving up without giving God His due. <br /><br /><br />So I keep confessing and I keep being encouraged by people like you. And I smile. :) Thank you. And thank you for reading me too.

Purely amazing. <br /><br /><br />That woman in your chapel had incredible wisdom. I've never thought of it that way before. I love it. It conveys perfectly. <br /><br /><br />You've given me so much to think about. Goodness...thank you new friend.

Thanks for the reminder that focussing on God impacts us greatly. Not only do we get a clearer image of Him, but He can then transform us and all that exists around us and affects our lives.<br /><br /><br />Blessings to you today :)Sabrinahttp://babyrowe.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688422282686268098.post-78260437056135744522012-09-14T01:41:48.990-04:002012-09-14T01:41:48.990-04:00love how you illustrated 2 Cor. 3:18...as we focus...love how you illustrated 2 Cor. 3:18...as we focus on Him, spend time with Him, His character will be formed in us...so grateful for it is such a loving process...blessings, Lindsey :)soulstopsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688422282686268098.post-87402414551929927802012-09-14T01:08:46.775-04:002012-09-14T01:08:46.775-04:00Yes.
