I can't tell you the years I spent worrying instead of warrioring! What a relief it finally was when I understood what my role was supposed to be and learned to trust God.

A prayer concern is mentioned, and for months afterwards (when God has already resolved the issue) the person keeps bringing it up with a face twisted in concern. They seem rather disappointed that the problem is solved actually....<BR/><BR/>One of my friends kept a prayer journal, and made a point to be thankful for an answer to prayer for the same amount of time that she spent praying about the problem. Seemed like a good idea to me!Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933957650347452922.post-62300551650443004632008-11-03T08:34:00.000-08:002008-11-03T08:34:00.000-08:00Great thoughts, Julie!

Next Tuesday in California we will be voting on <B>Prop 8- upholding God's definition for marriage between one man and one woman.</B> California could use your prayers and any other people that love marriage for what it is and what our God established it to be. <BR/><BR/>Please pray for an overwhelming majority of Yes on 8 votes. This would be a huge relief to the worry that is over me for this vote. I so want people to uphold the things of God, not to abhor them.<BR/><BR/><B>God bless you prayer warrior!!</B>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897149445887200118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933957650347452922.post-34605249324451012022008-11-01T11:55:00.000-07:002008-11-01T11:55:00.000-07:00Ohh...Lovella, thank you for your comment !

I was looking out the kitchen window and noticed that there was a fish that had jumped up above the netting that Terry uses to keep the leaves out of the pond. It flapped and tried to get underneath the leaves and netting. I told Terry and he went outside to rescue the fish. . I knew that Terry could help the fish. . but the fish didn't. The fish squirmed but Terry who was much smarter and much more determined, caught the slippery little guy and tucked it back under the netting. I watched with amusement, thinking. . .why can't these fish just trust us. . after all, we feed them without ever harming them. The end of the story. . Terry got stung by a bee that was also caught between the leaves. . (I'm sure you can somehow.. .make that part of the story work with today's lesson). .<BR/><BR/>Having said ALL that. . I so want to be a warrior. . and not a worrier.Lovella ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870567090244361779noreply@blogger.com
