I am looking forward to going through it slower, taking notes and thinking on it a little more.<BR/><BR/>I do find it fascinating to look over my own life and see what the Lord has done over time. I am so thankful that He pursues me, and slowing works on me.Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07575866207414232391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31922189.post-24207170480618720012008-01-18T18:07:00.000-06:002008-01-18T18:07:00.000-06:00yes, jenica, I really resisted the Lord for awhile...yes, jenica, I really resisted the Lord for awhile. :) I'm sure I didn't shout it from the rooftops, but still. <BR/><BR/>That's funny about the title, and I think I kinda agree.

I must say I had an adversion to the name of this book. ;) Maybe it's because I don't like it when the Christian world does a play off secular titles, didds, etc. But, hey, don't judge a book by it's cover.<BR/>Anyways! Thank you for the thoughts. You continually encourage me about making the Lord a part of the small details in life. And if you liked the book I may just have to read it!jenicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00154536022350962800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31922189.post-45410877814833029862008-01-18T17:08:00.000-06:002008-01-18T17:08:00.000-06:00Michelle, my birthday is Oct. 1st...is yours too? ...Michelle, my birthday is Oct. 1st...is yours too?

That is a good post, but I have to go off topic for a minute. <BR/><BR/>Every since Enoch found out your B-day through facebook he keeps telling me that you and I are twins since mine is not only on the same day, but also the same year. Now I read that your anniversary is 5 1/2 years ago. Same here (Oct 12, '02).<BR/><BR/>Sorry I don't have anything spiritual to add ~smile~ Maybe next time!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661984853379427448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31922189.post-69791580427352363212008-01-18T15:50:00.000-06:002008-01-18T15:50:00.000-06:00Thank you so much for sharing that Rachel. I real...Thank you so much for sharing that Rachel. I really needed to be encouraged by that today. <BR/>I agree with Allison, "I've never seen my utter sinful heart until I had children", so true for me as well. Having a child has made me realize that (surprise surprise) life isn't all about me, mostly it never is. And, when I sit and think about it, it never really should be. My life should be about my Lord, and His glory.<BR/>Looks like I should try to track down that book as well...bandanachickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17096191804419408834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31922189.post-36790689804187478692008-01-18T15:39:00.000-06:002008-01-18T15:39:00.000-06:00Thanks Rachel!

They've actually been the HARDEST years of my life...by far; but years I would never trade, because without them I would not reflect Him nearly as much as I do now, years that have pushed me closer to Him. <BR/>Its amazing how life changed so drastically...4 years of carefree, unrealistic, fun, college life that when it comes down to it, was pretty much self-centered (all decisions were based on me because there was no one else at the time to take care of), then I got married, and a year later a little bundle that interrupted my world! I've never been the same...praise the LORD!<BR/>I've never seen my utter sinful heart until I had children...oh, I knew I was a sinner, but every day I come face to face with the reality that I desperately need a Savior, not only for the future but NOW! What an ugly heart I have that by His grace and redemption, is being transformed day by day. <BR/>Thank you Rachel. Sounds like I'll have to get this book! <BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>AllisonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
