I didn't have much of an answer at the time except to say the usual Christian thing. I thought about it over the next couple of days and two things came to mind. #1. I want to walk and talk with God like Enoch did. #2. I want to be fearless. <BR/><BR/>I am entrapped by fear, even in love I am consumed by it for what if it is a figment of my imagination and what if it like every other love story in my life leaves me in pieces? So, I am struggling to be fearless in trusting in the Lord, in loving fearlessly and hoping without fear. And how can I be afraid of even what my Abba Daddy has for me- or more like...what He may not have in store for me? How can I be afraid of Him?<BR/><BR/>I was driving to the gym tongiht and was listening to David Crowder's Lime CD. At one point in the second song he yells "LOUDER!" to the crowd as they are singing. Now, I've been listening to this CD for the last month so it's amazing I haven't completley tuned it out by now. But I was speechless for a moment b/c it was almost like God was just like "Louder. You are living but a whisper of what You are in me. Louder." So I want to trust "louder", I want to hope "louder" and scream fearlessness with the way I hold onto the Lord. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your heart with us. I am in a bible study with five women and we are going to be starting Captivating. Funny timing huh? :) <BR/><BR/>And the picture of the poppy (?) completely rocks- I'm totally jealous! :)<BR/><BR/>Love ya, <BR/>MelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16866135.post-25416841682910141232007-06-05T22:10:00.000-05:002007-06-05T22:10:00.000-05:00hmmmm....if you can take a critical reader, i'm in...hmmmm....if you can take a critical reader, i'm in. i'm not a HUGE fan of the eldredge bunch, but i have read 2 or 3 chapters of that book randomly, and think there are enough chewy morsels that i could really glean something from it....especially if you're the group leader ;)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412050271204879522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16866135.post-46865154015195605772007-06-02T16:58:00.000-05:002007-06-02T16:58:00.000-05:00Ohh, I wanna join ya!

I like that you have the desire to DO IT and not just talk about doing it. I look forward to your upcoming posts. This blog was just what I needed to read today. Thank you.<BR/>Love, AmeAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380865169012724937noreply@blogger.com
