It's like you're in my head when you write..... do you also feel like you're more spiritual than religious and do you take things from different beliefs and apply them to your life?Hollihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413841693536976580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710699522974963778.post-17928715391377426362011-10-12T10:53:14.996-07:002011-10-12T10:53:14.996-07:00This is such an encouraging post!

Even at my age, I like to think God still does communicate with us in ways like these. Sometimes I find myself at the right place and the right time and reading something that is SO appropriate to my life and what I needed to read/hear...and I like to think God planned it that way. :)<br /><br />xoxoangie on mauihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770427639385628076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710699522974963778.post-83974736451019676332011-10-11T21:13:51.975-07:002011-10-11T21:13:51.975-07:00WOW!

I think having the assurance of God being in control of everything is what has gotten me through the last couple of months. It's a peace that's hard to describe to someone who doesn't have it. Something about this reminded me of Romans Ch. 1 and Ch. 8.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03554921225557586137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710699522974963778.post-15991194876702658192011-10-11T19:17:59.397-07:002011-10-11T19:17:59.397-07:00beautiful Karen.

I always called myself a Christian, but did I always actively pursue it as a choice and follow as if I was? I'm not sure. But now I have gotten to that point where it is a personal choice and it is everything I hold my life up to. It is so amazing to see the different experiences and journeys that God takes us through to get to Him! :)bnapolitanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023839820493567151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710699522974963778.post-50770214601510691222011-10-11T19:01:32.243-07:002011-10-11T19:01:32.243-07:00Beautiful post!
