my biggest struggle...

resting in God is for sure my biggest struggle...worrying, contemplating every senario or situation, ect....but just had to share...again from Battlefield of the Mind (yes it is taking me an eternity to get through this book:))...Being at peace, enjoying the rest of God in the midst of the storm, gives much glory to the Lord because it proves that His ways work (p127)....
Our pastor, Matt, did a sermon on Sunday about living for Christ fully...how that is all he wants...w/ all of our my mind, strenth, soul to live for Him....i have been so desperatly struggling w/ exactly how that looks and just being at rest in Jesus and not having to know or see a "perfect" picture of that. also another great quote from her book "Jesus did not come to remove all oppostion from our lives, but rather to give us a different approach to the storms of life" (p 127) I have definitly been going through some storms but wow what a great quote...we are going to go through storms daily but having Jesus is the only way to get through them...we DO live in a sinful FALLEN world and thank goodness He gave us HOPE!:)
oh...one more...The proud man is full of himself, while the humble man is full of God. The proud man worries; the humble man waits. (p 126) see how it is taking me forever... i have to think so much after every page and then all of the beautiful interuptions of two little girls:::)))))) anyway it truely is a really good book...
