I ...Thanks for sharing this with The Bliss Project. I struggle to get down to the root of the "do I really want to change?" question. My Dad used to ask me, "how bad do you want it?" In other words, whatever "it" is, how much are you willing to work to get there. This can also be applied to our desire to change, while also realizing that no good change can happen apart from Christ. He has to make the change in us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436036572780759085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553871403635498898.post-3418812709147905862013-04-29T20:46:28.948-05:002013-04-29T20:46:28.948-05:00Thanks for sharing on the HomeAcre hop and please ...Thanks for sharing on the HomeAcre hop and please join us again this week: http://everythinghomewithcarol.com/self-sufficient-homeacre-hop-and-herbal-tea-giveaway/Home Instructed Studentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499078929352419868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553871403635498898.post-68288412336700346222013-04-29T10:20:56.379-05:002013-04-29T10:20:56.379-05:00Fear--not on God's good girl list.

I remember so vividly a comment someone made to me years ago, someone who knew they needed to change something big in their lives and she said to me, "If I do that, I don't know who I'll be." Indeed. And from God's perspective, that's exactly the point.

The Cost of Discipleship (...Beautifully said Sarah! The Cost of Discipleship (book title) is also a well thought idea if you look at it closely...we don't want to pay the cost to have a close walk with the Lord because it costs more than we've considered. Being like Christ is sometimes so very hard in this skin we abide in..and it makes the words of Paul when he laments his flesh seem our own words. Or it SHOULD!!

I want to make a change in a certain part of my life and I struggle with it. It's almost easier to take the beating I give myself over failure than to take the steps required to be the person I want to become. WOW! I loved reading your words! Anyway, I am here at this linky party, too, and will now be your newest follower! I would love to have you pop over to my blog and take a look around. I always love making new friends!

Our children are so sweet (at times). My oldest was upset the other day that Jesus wasn't nominated for a superhero on the Nickelodeon teen choice awards....5 minutes later he was fighting with his brother. While the kids are loud and noisy...they will eventually grow up and move away...Sometimes it is just nice to love in the now being grateful for what and for those around us.
