When I...Ahh....such wisdom you have shared with us. When I began my blog, I picked the title "In Passionate Pursuit" (since changed, but URL is the same) namely because that is my desire, but sometimes I (as in SELF) gets in the way of all that the Lord has for me on that journey. You have put a voice to what many of us struggle with...thanks for helping "sharpen my iron."Jen - Balancing Beauty and Bedlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152743288585898776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644920530858942097.post-8663679811789373452008-08-19T01:07:00.000-04:002008-08-19T01:07:00.000-04:00I stumbled upon your blog and was deeply inspired ...I stumbled upon your blog and was deeply inspired by your message.

To say it as you do and have it speak to us all is a testimony to God. I know I feel like I let him down all the time...and it does take work and effort to forge yourself with him and not the world. So many things to call our attention away. I feel like I am being pulled by my dh, and my son, chores, errands, things that I selfishly want to do..my time, if I just let that go for the time being and focused on Jesus...I bet the other things would fall into place. Am I right? Your name is thet title to one of my fave books.. God Bless You, Miss.

I am not sure why turning to God isn't always my first response, but I guess that's part of being human.

I always come back to "loving the Lord our God and our neighbor as ourself" and I'm reminded how many people don't even know their neighbors! sigh ...

You're so ...Oh, Christy, how beautifully expressed! You're so right, our relationship with the Lord must be fostered intentionally ... and the enemy would like to throw every possible distraction our way to prevent it.<BR/><BR/>Yet, we will deliberately seek Him. Every day, we will choose ... to serve Him (Joshua 24:15), to fear Him (Proverbs 1:29-33), to learn from Him (Proverbs 8:10), be befriend Him (James 4:4), and to love Him (Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30, Luke 10:27).<BR/><BR/>And, why do we choose Him? Because He chose us (John 15:16). And blessed are those whom He chooses to draw near (Psalm 65:4).<BR/><BR/>Oh, I have to stop now. I could keep going ... and going ... and going. I will CHOOSE to stop! :-)<BR/><BR/>Monday blessings ...Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10116648093204950397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644920530858942097.post-44252516459529129012008-08-18T12:01:00.000-04:002008-08-18T12:01:00.000-04:00Christy~What a POWERFUL word!!!
