  •         I'm praying about going back with the same team to New Orleans May 5-12.  Life remains busy yet I'm learning more about who I am as a child of God. At times, I don't even know where to start to share.  At times, what happens one day is built upon days later so I do learn more.  Yet, God will meet my needs and knows the little things I do like. Prayer, I have so much to learn. Some of those around me now and in my past would tell you I'm one of the stronger Christians they know. Yet...............I feel like I know nothing compared to what there is to know.  I'm being convicted of knowing "religion" but not truly the Word of God.  I'm learning about the goodness of God in how he wants to prosper us in every way   in life. You mention the word "prosper" to me and I would have shielded away from it for various reasons. Yet,......I'm learning about the goodness of God and who I am as child of God.  Oh, how defeated I have lived for so many years not knowing what I'm learning now. I wished I had learned what I'm reading years ago. Yet, would I have the value for it like I do know?  I know of fear when I have stood for God in the past and the attacks that could come from it as I stepped back at times not knowing how to deal with the attacks. I knew of "cliches" people would tell me but I did not see them in action in their own lives so that is way I call the "cliches".  Yet, I have so much to learn, so much. My past allows me to value what I'm learning that much more.  Yes, I should post some pictures from New Orleans but...........time to sit down and do that while so much other to learn!  Learning......

  • I am thankful that all of our lives we are growing...I often feel like you that I wish I had understood and known more earlier, but God is faithful and He will complete the good work He has begun in us. I agree with you, there is a huge difference between religion and knowing the Word of God and really knowing Jesus as our personal forever friend today! May you walk in His presence today. ~Colleen~

  • Amen. It's always good to continue to grow in knowledge and grace. God bless.

  • A disciple is always learning. Good to know you are one too. Thanks for being a blessing to the people of new Orleans. Does it still look like a flood occured?

  • Always learning ~ That's great. I don't think we will ever reach the end of our learning. OUR GOD REIGNS!  ~Carolyn
