Hi, everyone. Wow, time is flying by. It is Friday already. I plan to post on chapter 13 later today, but in the meantime, how about some of YOU share any meaningful parts with us? I would LOVE to hear from YOU about how God uses it.
I reread chapter 13 just after I posted my “Ugly” post. It was RIGHT what I needed to read! God is so kind.
More later! We are hosting a family up here to play with the horses and go to the lake, so I have to get things all ready for that!
I really would LOVE to hear from you!
I just finished watching the marble jar video and was so encouraged and inspired. Thank you. I can see even the use of a graph while travelling, to record victory steps, could be very encouraging.I have been posting my reflections on each chapter at my blog http://godsrainbowpromises.blogspot.comThe main thing that has been hitting me the past week or so has been the concept of practising His presence. Capturing each thought to Him seems to naturally flow out of practising His presence.Thanks again for your leadership and encouragement:-) I've been praying for you. You are so beautiful inside and out:-)Christina

For me, Chapter 13 is kind of a culmination of the previous days. Once we know our identity and understand that we are under grace and not the law, it becomes so much easier to follow the Lord's will.My co-worker that I mentioned yesterday came to me this morning with a word of success. Last night she was out to dinner at a salad buffet. They have frozen yogurt and she really wanted some, but she saw it as "bad" food. She told me that she remembered what I had said about things being permissable, but not always profitable. She then decided to have a small bowl of it – just enough to make her feel like she enjoyed it – rather than a giant bowl like her friend. Praise God.I had a hard time doing the Day 13 "observing thin people" exercise. I have a lot of thin friends who have a diet mentality, I realized. I finally settled on my previous roommate. She's quite petite. How so? (OK, she does have a massive food allergy that limits what she can eat.) She eats a sizeable breakfast in the morning – cereal, omletes, pie, whatever. Her lunch is smaller, but she eats whatever – peanut butter in a tortilla, lots of cheese, and sometimes a really odd mixture of things (but she likes it). Often, she's not even hungry for an evening meal.She came upon a discovery about 3 years ago after getting a terrible bout of the flu that kept her down for nearly a month. She didn't eat much during that time and realized that her small frame didn't need much.I'm loving this opportunity to learn along with everyone else! I so appreciate Heidi's time and effort with us as well as getting to read the blogs of others.You go girls!Yvonnehttp://sisepuedetestimony.blogspot.com/
