Amen, and amen, and amen...Anne, this is beautiful. Amen, and amen, and amen. :) I think one of the things I struggle with the most as a stay-at-home mom is focusing SO much on the kids' and their development, and the training and discipleship that goes into it...that sometimes I realize I'm neglecting my OWN relationship with the Lord as I'm trying to lead THEM to one...which just has "no-no" written all over it. :) I'm reminded often that my relationship with God must be daily, hourly, and regular for me to be any kind of authentic, whether it's with my kids or a boss or a stranger on the street...I can't fake authenticity. :) Anyhow...just a few scattered thoughts...but I appreciate you sharing these questions from the sermon...I'll have to copy those to my journal soon. :) Have a great day!Annikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120804282149342539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16715835.post-39233763550801862852009-10-27T16:06:12.357-04:002009-10-27T16:06:12.357-04:00And Megan...

I think they are marks of being a faithful Christ follower---not a "Am I a Christian?" checklist but something to show growth and that I'm continuing on that mission for him.<br /> My HOPE is that I can be more straighforward with who I am. Admit my weaknesses and desire to grow, to be raw and real with people I meet so that they see the passion and desire I have for my great savior!annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626859917548829983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16715835.post-75305980103799125752009-10-27T15:04:11.274-04:002009-10-27T15:04:11.274-04:00great thoughts- i call this being "heart wid...great thoughts- i call this being "heart wide open" with people, which, in the last few years, i do see God doing more and more of it in me. it's so good, and yet dangerous and vulnerable at times. but, nothing good will generally happen if we aren't willing to be risky, right?<br /><br />MeganMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719413019235180201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16715835.post-29504163375596515672009-10-27T14:17:10.297-04:002009-10-27T14:17:10.297-04:00Having a mission is a big theme anywhere I turn - ...Having a mission is a big theme anywhere I turn - I see it at church, in high profile ministry organizations, among my Christian and nonChristian friends. What will living "Full of God and on mission for Jesus Christ" look like in your life? How will you be different (if at all) doing that than you were before?Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11630548273365769951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16715835.post-51251814702278853252009-10-27T12:21:03.065-04:002009-10-27T12:21:03.065-04:00Well said, hon.
