And yep, Satan does all he does to keep us focused on ourselves, our comfort, etc.<BR/><BR/>Pam: Thank you! I'm glad you're praying--the Lord can definitely give you courage, strength, and wisdom to share all of who you are with others (even the things that hurt you).<BR/><BR/>Mamacita: You should definitely call me; I'd love to meet you. And like you, I love it when God makes things and Himself obvious b/c Lord knows I'm oblivious half the time and need all the help I can get. And yes, I know about happy hour--sounds like I need to try out your drink.<BR/><BR/>Ys: Thanks...yes, I'm always afraid I'll cry and then not be able to talk.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-14136409120749682692009-04-09T07:08:00.000-05:002009-04-09T07:08:00.000-05:00I'm glad the conversation went well.

But, I think Satan puts doubts in our head which causes us to put off the important conversation.OK Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729372117518869463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-65213996700714662932009-04-09T07:01:00.000-05:002009-04-09T07:01:00.000-05:00I've always had issues with comfronting people wit...I've always had issues with comfronting people with things that bother me. In the past I always kept them bottled up and it ate away at me. I've been slowly trying to do better and have prayed extensively about it. What I've found is that most are actually open to discussing these issues and not resistant or angry as I once imagined. Being a so-called "people pleaser", that's been my biggest fear. Anyway, the point of this rant is just to let you know that you are not alone in that journey.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510702377296760913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-4945985379137980162009-04-09T06:16:00.000-05:002009-04-09T06:16:00.000-05:00I'm gonna just call you sometime. This is sort of ...I'm gonna just call you sometime. This is sort of ridiculous! But, I wanted to tell you that I really like this blog (and the name of it too). I love when God makes Himself, thru Scripture, obvious. Recently, He's made a couple of yucky sins obvious to me and is teaching me to trust Him. These are heart sins that do come out but can be masked in (worse) self-righteousness. So this morning, I remembered his passage in the epistles (somewhere) saying that he renews us "by degrees" and it struck me how hard that is to feel (I mean, it takes about 10 for me to see a difference outside!). So, take heart. I'm very proud of you! I hate uncomfortable conversations...<BR/><BR/>BTW, did you know Sonic is 1/2 price drinks between 2 and 4. Route 44 diet cherry limeade is my drink of choice. Very healthy!Tiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800867513754493678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-36945380366709422482009-04-09T05:12:00.000-05:002009-04-09T05:12:00.000-05:00I'm glad you were able to find peace with the situ...I'm glad you were able to find peace with the situation :) It takes a lot of strength to confront someone on their behaviour when you've been upset by it.boohoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356984519402775537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-85401364337615721602009-04-08T15:01:00.000-05:002009-04-08T15:01:00.000-05:00WTG: I often pray for strength and conviction....t...WTG: I often pray for strength and conviction....that the Lord will help me want to do what I should do.<BR/><BR/>Aaron: Ha.
