Just what I needed to hear. God...I love this post. Just what I needed to hear. God can always do a fresh work in us. "I knew nothing more about God that morning than I had two years ago". This makes me realize there is so much more to experience with Christ. We can't stop growing! I need some new growth!!!Kara Akinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183707916550822861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981243138848561.post-75826547315517223132008-02-26T09:52:00.000-05:002008-02-26T09:52:00.000-05:00Beautiful....I'm just discovering your blog, and y...Beautiful....<BR/><BR/>I'm just discovering your blog, and your words have touched my heart, Stephanie. <BR/><BR/>The way in which you write, and the love for Jesus that shines through your words are touching.<BR/><BR/>This is something that has definitely been on my heart recently. The daily effort that is needed on my part, to keep my relationship with God going strong. To continue to grow with Him.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the encouragement today!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10498257900231183016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981243138848561.post-42413070162642363252008-02-25T22:48:00.000-05:002008-02-25T22:48:00.000-05:001.

And in the past year have been wooed into such a close walk and I want to say, "Man, I've been missing out on so many blessings!!" Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03526107263936734691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981243138848561.post-55937538226282412652008-02-25T16:50:00.000-05:002008-02-25T16:50:00.000-05:00Your sweet smiling face was definitely missed yest...Your sweet smiling face was definitely missed yesterday. Hope you feel better soon. <BR/><BR/>Isn't it amazing what the Lord will allow us to experience just to get us to a point where we realize our dependence on Him? Job loss, emotional turmoils, miscarriages, loss of loved ones - whatever it takes. I know in my own life - in times of wandering and being spiritually stagnant- I have gone through stuff and wondered why I couldn't hear Him speaking like before. All the while, He was waiting for me to get to the point where I reached out my hands to Him and said that I couldn't do it without Him anymore. Oh the joy of coming back into the arms of my Lord!! What sweet communion!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your heart!DeAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971539645672498336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981243138848561.post-52542935544834687392008-02-25T15:08:00.000-05:002008-02-25T15:08:00.000-05:00This is a timely reminder for me.

Carol said we missed a great sermon... but apparently God has his own message he wanted to share with you and through you. This really hit home with me.

I have such a passion & heart for the Lord, but I also know how easily other things become a bigger priority and get in the way of my time with Him. Just know Stephanie that across the miles you did cup your hands around my face & remind me that He wants so much more from me....Thank you.Earenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925637944465242002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981243138848561.post-53839348330175773682008-02-24T16:07:00.000-05:002008-02-24T16:07:00.000-05:00Our pastor today talked about how you can't stay s...Our pastor today talked about how you can't stay stagnant.

Riding the wave of the past is exactly what I DO NOT WANT TO DO!!!! How can I disciple my son who was just saved if I am not listening for a fresh word from the Lord? Oh how I want him to know the power and manifest presence of the Holy Spirit and not the mediocre Christianity that most people settle for. I was saved at age 14 and I cannot lose my salvation, but I can lose my joy. Accepting Jesus is a one time event, but wanting to know Him (really know Him) is a daily decision. Its easy to just become comfortable in our salvation, but I want to hear Jesus say "Well done My good and faithful servant" - not "I guess you did okay my half hearted and rarely faithful semi-servant". I need to be reminded of this everyday! <BR/><BR/>So, I am kind of glad you stayed home today and I mean that in the nicest possible way ;-)BethAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238839175341836771noreply@blogger.com
