Freeing me up to focus on what's most important, bringing glory to our God.

Thank you! I believe we have been suffering (financially) lately, but I can't say we've done it with grace, contentment, or peace- more like worry, doubt, and a tight grip on our idols. That needs to change. This is the blessed road God is leading us down right now and it's the best one for us, whether we know it or not. He leadeth me, o blessed thought!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938353209515641725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144627286310639203.post-77557604791711995632012-04-11T06:40:32.537-04:002012-04-11T06:40:32.537-04:00Love this!

Has its perks too - less to clean, keep track of, etc! Every time I clean out clutter I am reminded of that. B and I were just talking last night about how it's so easy to become slaves to our stuff.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01730928384750294080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144627286310639203.post-53320080955937487802012-04-10T22:18:49.594-04:002012-04-10T22:18:49.594-04:00Dude!

If you have six hours and are ready to drink from a fire hydrant, I would highly recommend listening to it.

I needed to be reminded that it is an honor to share in Christ's sufferings and it is a privilege to suffer for the glory of God. I love everything about this post! Oh - and John Piper is just icing on the cake! ;)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481930991215306755noreply@blogger.com
