Realized AGAIN this morning how the spirit of entitlement just sneaks up and around in me...how quickly I assume and operate out of those assumptions....how fast self protectiveness wraps itself around me when You call for vulnerability and promise Your protection and how I operate so rarely in that.....

Reading Joshua this morning how they wanted more and Joshua basically says 'go for it' that they have to work for it but you are ahead of them......I wonder if that's what I am to do w/dreams I have?? (like moving to SA and mentoring young women when I don't even speak Khosa)

And then Pauls telling the Corinthians how 1 Cor. 8: Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 2 The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. 3 But the man who loves God is known by God.

it's about love and being known.......so to remember how very little I know for sure and yet what I can know...how that could change me.

So very true. So much harder to trust sometimes, but so worth it.

Thank you.

You will never know what a blessing you are... how much I needed this scripture today. Specifically this scripture.

Thank you.

Why is it that we so quickly become self protective? Becky... I had my first day at the discipleship school. Wow... it's going to be so cool. It's hard right now to recap b/c I'm a bit sleepy... but the theme for the week is that God has an irrevocable calling on our lives. A call to know him, know his word, know our purpose, live out our purpose... and one speaker pointed out that when people found out their calling from God-- they werent't that excited about it--including the Son of God. YIKES! But I thought God's purpose was to make ME happy!?!?! I think my world is about to be turned upside down and I'm not quite ready for it....

I would email you, but I don't have yahoo mail access on these govt computers! And I didn't know that you have a dream to go to SA and mentor!! Oh Becky... you would do so beautifully there!
