And one that still eats away at me from time to time, even when I thought I was free of it. <BR/>Thanks for the reminder of where my true security lies.<BR/>Love,<BR/>Laurie<BR/>P.S.

At the same time I'm not ready to jump up and keep doing. I want to stand like Jehoshaphat did and see the deliverance of the Lord. <BR/><BR/>It's coming. Jesus said He came to set the captives free. Your post makes me feel that even stronger. He is at work. He is speaking. <BR/><BR/>And as we pray and keeping letting go of everything but Him, little by little, we will experience the abundant life that is Christ Jesus.Amy Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055443444238664556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820424.post-1170968129353848162007-02-08T15:55:00.000-05:002007-02-08T15:55:00.000-05:00Rel,I almost didn't publish this post because I di...Rel,<BR/><BR/>I almost didn't publish this post because I didn't see how it could encourage others. But I'm glad I did. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for the reminder that we can pray for each other and what a HUGE encouragement that is. Thanks too for your prayers!!! I'm praying for you and your family as well.<BR/><BR/>AmyAmy Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055443444238664556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820424.post-1170967851432195532007-02-08T15:50:00.000-05:002007-02-08T15:50:00.000-05:00Sally,I love you much, dear friend!

Even thought I'm sad we're once again walking similar journeys at the same time, I'm thankful God is gracious to allows us to share this time and encourage one another. <BR/><BR/>It's been said misery loves company, but I think with grace it's even more so. I'm pulling for you and praying! <BR/><BR/>You are NOT a disappointment, Sally. You are a beloved daughter of a Daddy who adores you. Keep hold of that. I'm doing the same.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>AmyAmy Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055443444238664556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820424.post-1170966555920273382007-02-08T15:29:00.000-05:002007-02-08T15:29:00.000-05:00This is the second blog in 24 hours I've read on t...This is the second blog in 24 hours I've read on this topic. I think I need to listen really well. I've prayed hard and listened well trying to overcome this very thing, but it continues to blindside me sometimes.<BR/><BR/>I know that when I please people instead of God I can never fully be all HE wants me to be.<BR/><BR/>One time the Lord literally put me on the ground, flat on my back, and I couldn't get up. He told me later that as long as I continued to let other people's opinions matter so much to me, that's where I'd end up.Knocked down.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106076315144936177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820424.post-1170934762659494492007-02-08T06:39:00.000-05:002007-02-08T06:39:00.000-05:00Sadly I'm with you girls!
