It is so easy to listen to the teaching of men; to get caught up in great ideals; to wave banners of righteousness and truth and the Law; It is easy to follow others who tell me they follow Jesus, but really; I need to just follow Jesus. it is HE who sustains me, It is He who lifts me up, never leaving me, always holding me, filling me, growing me, molding me, fogiving me, showering me with grace, mercing and lovingkindness, teaching me, encouraging me to go on, He and none other. It isn't the way I dress, my standards that motivate me to continue in my trials, but my Savior, my King, my Redeemer.<BR/>I agree with Anne, I am not willing to pay the price for the "pretty picture", am not willing to miss the opportunity to minister to others where they are, while I am near (last part added by me) I have to parent the only way I know HOW, by example, by How my Father is parenting me. I hate how I am when I am trying to parent like somebody else. They suck as much as me, and need Jesus as much as me, and if they are not encouraging me to go to Jesus and to the FATHER and His Holy Spirit, then..... somehow or other, I just am NOT a nice mama :)<BR/><BR/>wonderful ! <BR/>I loved this post!sweetnikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031555573840728178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573917018837920829.post-17683040097245918392008-08-27T09:45:00.000-05:002008-08-27T09:45:00.000-05:00All I can say is Amen!

The law has its place and its purpose, which is to show us our need for grace; not to keep us imprisoned.

It's just that we've seen the cost of the pretty picture and aren't willing to pay it, or to miss out on the opportunity to minister to others where they are.<BR/><BR/>As for your feelings about parenting, I can only tell you that my heart rejoiced reading that. <BR/><BR/>You have a beautiful blog here.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667772171360379262noreply@blogger.com
