THis not a Debate

Hello Out There!,
I have had such warm and friendly responses to the things I have been blogging about. Maybe some of the things I have said have been challenging and hard to swallow. I know not all of you agree with my beliefs. I really don't mind if you share those feelings with me. This blog is not a platform for a debate. It is just a place to share about what is really happening in my life. It is a place for honest truth about what I have experienced and what is working to fullfill me as I journey through this life. I hope if anything, this blog makes you think about what is important over the tyranny of the urgent. I hope it makes you take time to ,"BE STILL". I have to admit that I may sound all confident that I have all the answers. I do not.... but I know the One who does. It is not arrogance you are sensing as you read my blog. It is reassurrance that I am loved by God and I can trust Him. He has my "back". My wisdom does not come from myself or my experiences. My wisdom comes from simply obeying what God has told me and seeing with my own eyes that ,It Works!!!!! It is quite simple really ,that is why I always say."My prayer for you is simple." The act of obedience is not always simple.... most of the time it is very hard..... but when put in to play the outcome brings the simplicity of peace,joy and understanding! If you are not a big Bible reader start in Proverbs. Read a proverb every day and begin to obey these words of wisdom. My Prayer for you is simple....."May you have the courage and the strength to obey and may peace,joy and understanding be a constant in your life."As you ponder that, comment on the blog and let me know what you are thinking. Others may be thinking the same thing and it would be helpful to them. ddlang

  1. Hi Denise,
    You touched on one of my favorite ways out of crisis mode, the simple words, "Be Still." I repeat my little mantra two or three times, and my anxiety melts away. I'm sure that's because I recall the next words, "I am God."I often read the Essenes Prayer for Peace, reminding myself to see God in all of nature, morning and night. I feel blessed when that stillness comes over me, don't you?

    Love and Peace,
    Judy

  2. Yes... "Be still and know that I am God" is one of my favorite verses. It has never failed to calm me when I simply Obey it's direction to stop all the busyness and just Be in His presence.
