That was beautifully expressed, and so true, At least from my own experience.

The trick was hilarious! You should try it! ;)

The kiddos sure do relieve some stress… even if they are the cause of it sometimes. They can bring a smile to my face any day!

Thanks for the thoughts, Bob… The voice in my head speaks, as well. Learning to distinguish His Voice from the others can be difficult, but it will always be worth it. Keep seeking Him…

Another powerful post. I often struggle with taking leaps of faith. For example, I feel called to serve others in ways that would require much faith on my part. The voice in my head tells me that I don’t have enough education or theological training to minister to others. Unfortunately, I listen to this voice and stay on the sidelines where it is safe and (uncomfortably) comfortable.

Thanks, Aunt Beth… I think Kristi and I may be the only quiet ones. :) But how cool that God uses each of us in His own way.

Kari. . .as you know I’m the exact opposite of you. I am a social person. I think God uses us both to serve him and honor him. I have to know someone really well to have deep, meaningful and personal conversations. But I have found that as I strive to witness for my Lord, the best approach for me is to start out with everyday small chat. People who are lost aren’t going to open up and begin with deep, meaningful conversations. Like you said, they must trust me before they will share anything that deep. But by continuing the daily small conversations trust is built and I have been able to share Christ with individuals who desperately need Him. My approach to witnessing is probably not the path most Christians take. I prefer to share day to day experiences, interjecting my relationship with Christ, and allow individuals to ask me questions when they are ready. God has opened up some pretty good two way conversations this way. Neither of us are going to hit a home run everytime we get up to bat, but I know that God uses each of us to bring honor and glory to Him. Please continue to share the “yes, that’s it” and the “that really stinks” stuff. You inspire me everytime I read what you’ve written. Love you, Aunt Beth

Mike… Thanks for the encouragement. No, I haven’t read that book, but I just looked it up on Barnes & Noble and it sounds like it would be great for me right now. I’m going to hunt it down! :) Thanks, again.

Helpful thoughts, Kari. I think a lot of people don’t ever offer what they have to give because they’re paralyzed by the fear that what they have is not enough. I’ve been going through Genesis with my high schoolers and we’re continually being struck by what God can do with messed up, broken people.

Keep offering what you have…

Not entirely related, but have you read Margaret Feinberg’s The Sacred Echo? Finished it the other day and thought it might be something that would resonate with you.
