Ladies, it was good to be with you tonight. I'm just learning about this blog stuff and thought this might be good practice. I also have another motive. I will only be able to be with you ladies for the month of October. I will be starting a class on Monday nights at Warner Pacific College, and will be missing the discussion...I thought I could use this blog to stay connected.
Tonight's video was very practical and something that I want to start putting into practice in my daily life. I'd love to hear your thoughts. I pray that you have a great week in your study time. Remember what Colossians 1:29 says, "to this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me." May you be filled with "his energy" as you face each new day. Blessings, Tabi

It's pretty easy to leave a comment. :)
Hope to hear from you!
I esp. enjoyed Beth's comment about how we must live barefoot on the pavement of life. The comment made me grin but I stopped and said - that's not avoiding reality layers and layers of whatever so I don't feel pain or even joy.
It was encouraging to be with you all on Monday; I look forward to our times together.
A couple of the things which Beth shared on the video that really stuck out to me were:
"NOTHING that sin can give us can replace what it takes away!" WOW, what a profound reminder. At the same time, she admonishes us "Do not bow down to guilt; accept the forgiveness of God."...Dare to live as forgiven.
How wonderful we have an "Abba"/Father who loves us so much he doesn't want us to live in shame and guilt all the time, he offered us a way of feeling fresh and new.
I've been thinking a lot more about love and marriage. While eros is great,it waxes and wanes. Agape is what allows me to continue trying to be a good wife when I really want to poison his oatmeal. Phileos, though, is what makes marriage such a joy almost every day. Throughout the years I've noticed that when I'm not very happy with my marriage it's been because of a lack of time spent together just hanging out being friends.
