God has been impressing on my heart to let go of those things that are a waste of time and let Him show me how to live! What an eye opener to read about how Israelites got tired of God's mana and reminisced about the Eygptian foods and thought of them as being "without cost", yet ironically, they paid a huge price for those "free foods" because of their enslavement! WOW!!! That's me --> foregoing God's mana (more time in the Word) and finding comfort in mindless "time wasters" like excessive TV and excessive Facebook, etc, instead of finding my comfort in Him. Here I am thinking those are harmless activities that aren't harming anyone or "costing" me anything. But the reality is that they ARE costing me a lot (time away from God, my husband and my children) and I fear I've let those activities become idols of sorts. They have nothing to do with contributing to God's kingdom. I sense the Holy Spirit leading me to forgo my old ways in favor of God's way. This was truly a great post!<BR/><BR/>Those pictures are gorgeous!<BR/><BR/>Speaking of gorgeous, I adore your blog design -- it's so pretty! I also appreciate your uplifting and encouraging posts. They have been a huge blessing to me -- THANK YOU for writing and sharing what the Lord lays in your heart! :)<BR/><BR/>I hope you had a good time in S.A. visiting your sister! Crazy Texas weather, isn't it? In the 90's yesterday, and chilly today! Had I thought about it earlier, I would have loved to have invited you and your sister over to my house for Saturday morning bible study. Our small group is studying Beth Moore's Esther and today's session (5) was all about God's timing. Thought provoking and so very good!<BR/><BR/>I started the Kelly Minter NOG bible study last summer but did not get to finish it. It sounds like a good one. I may need to revisit it this summer.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to have written a book! :)<BR/><BR/>God Bless and take care,<BR/>SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15479823894957131245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957070388937998217.post-21508433602661215542009-02-18T11:09:00.000-05:002009-02-18T11:09:00.000-05:00This is beautiful, Cindy!

I confused Kelly's "No Other Gods" with my current one. Later as I thought about the slip, it is what I want - the victorious life with no idols or giants. A heart devoted to Him and to enjoy the "fullness of Him."<BR/><BR/>And maybe one day we the Lord will allow us to enjoy that sweet time across the table for lunch! Your words bless me!Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549959564253260558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957070388937998217.post-35621379081123509312009-02-17T21:23:00.000-05:002009-02-17T21:23:00.000-05:00Love your promise land!

But He provided me with a job that is actually fits my schedule far better, and while it doesn't pay as much, it provides what we need.<BR/><BR/>God is good....<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>Adriennefuzzytophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359666594910958327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957070388937998217.post-59691721870613006352009-02-17T05:28:00.000-05:002009-02-17T05:28:00.000-05:00Great post!!

How I desire to look at life only through the eyes of the One who gave it to me. <BR/><BR/>Truly, this Bible study is one of the most important ones we have ever done in our almost 9 years as a group!!<BR/><BR/>LeahLeah Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888422138033372220noreply@blogger.com
