My prayer is that the words in the book cause us ALL to take a long, hard look at ourselves and then ask God what HE thinks about our service, our motives, our heart. His opinion of us is what matters.<BR/><BR/>You're so right. It's about the relationship. It's about prayer.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your mature and insightful thoughts!<BR/><BR/>Much love,<BR/>Lisa :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16078650219972404293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274497699314004353.post-5268512494252566302008-10-23T11:09:00.000-05:002008-10-23T11:09:00.000-05:00Kristy,This was great.

Why is it that all the frustrations of the day end up being let out at home.<BR/><BR/>It's been something both hubby and I've been working on. Thank you for your post, and I got a chuckle about your Rapture Transformation Discpline comment too.<BR/><BR/>CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550650176617319950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274497699314004353.post-49883426807889035022008-10-23T00:03:00.000-05:002008-10-23T00:03:00.000-05:00I here you cluckin' chicken....and I'm cluckiin' r...I here you cluckin' chicken....and I'm cluckiin' right along with you.<BR/><BR/>Cliff told me the other day that sometimes he feels that he and the boys get the leftovers with me. That cut me to the quick. I have been much more conscious of how I treat them since.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you decided to stick with the study and the blogging...I hope you are enjoying the connections with women from all over. I just love all those chicks! And, of course, I adore you.<BR/><BR/>And...thanks for the email you sent me on facebook...I hear you..and God is changing my mind and heart...slowly, but surely.<BR/><BR/>And....one more thing....I love anything your daddy says, so I'm glad you quoted him!

I stayed home with my two children until both were out of elementary school and then I worked so I could be home when they were.<BR/><BR/>Sounds idyllic and godly...but when they were growing up and only 2 years apart...It was not spiritual I felt even if i read my Bible very early.<BR/><BR/>It was hard for me. I had the daughter that would make James Dobson give his career up for and I found it must easier to be spiritual at church where everyone thought I was just wonderful....<BR/><BR/>Makes me wonder now what GOD thought...I think I know..<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>TeriTeriAnnElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834866295066332351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274497699314004353.post-51439771682550828622008-10-22T15:58:00.000-05:002008-10-22T15:58:00.000-05:00Kristy,It is so sad that the people we love the mo...Kristy,<BR/>It is so sad that the people we love the most get the worst parts of us isn't it?? <BR/><BR/>Love this: "I want my children and husband to see my depth, my love, my devotion on a daily basis."<BR/><BR/>I agree with Heather-the "servants heart" thing is rarely my motive--I need to work on that.<BR/><BR/>have a great week,<BR/>KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274497699314004353.post-64440796680633491382008-10-22T14:47:00.000-05:002008-10-22T14:47:00.000-05:00The thought of preceiving ones self as spiritual o...The thought of preceiving ones self as spiritual only to be a hinderance to God's work is really a scary thought.

Love it! <BR/><BR/>Tend our own hearts, and pray for the others? Yes, this is good. I know there are times we need to confront, but I need to pray about it first.

I'm out at the clothesline this afternoon bringing the clothes in, and I was just thinking over this chapter, and then suddenly - SLAP, like I got hit in the forehead... The thought? "NEVER MIND WHAT GOES ON WHEN YOU'RE OUT AND ABOUT. IT'S HOME WHERE YOU NEED TO BE REAL"... Seriously! Then ofcourse, as quick as the thought hits me, it's gone, and I'm occupied with all that happens to get children sorted before bed(!!!), and so your wonderful post reminded me of the what I believe was God's message. Thank you! I'll go and reflect on this, I think!!! Thank you again.

And this isn't even thinking about what I am supposed to do as a CHRISTIAN wife and mom!<BR/>sigh...<BR/>Thanks for showing me this... i have a lot to chew on, and haven't yet gotten to doing my post.
