Gabs sits near the fireplace and stares into the flames.
I have a little of the FFA today...Free floating anxiety, not that the anxiety is floating without reason. I guess everyone gets to their saturation point.
I am praying and focusing on God and putting my trust in Him.
But looking at the wall I have to climb I know God is going to have to break that wall in two so I can walk thru it and at the moment ........ well you all understand.
Gabs holds baby bunny and hugs her tight.
It's times like these I wish the little bunny hugged back.
*sigh*

I hate being a senior (I keep being reminded I have to get a job in a short time... blah) I found a good devotional for us all as the week begins to close out and we get ready for another wonderful weekend of rest, peace, and worshipping of our Lord. Keep having faith and strengthe

Once again just what I needed.
But I have a question, does trust mean that you don't take any steps and just sit back and wait?

I don't think sitting back and waiting helps either... sometimes God needs us to try a little bit of a path, then step back, try another and another, and step back from those too. Then pray and watch for guidance. It's good to know a bit about your different options... usually God will throw one in there you didn't even see coming though.

So ya it's a tough call, but long as you're honestly seeking God and His protection and wisdom.... I'm sure you'll hear something from Him about what to do.

Two by two
by John Fischer

Could there be any stronger statement about the value Jesus places on fellowship than when he sent his disciples out two by two? We don’t know for sure exactly how long these trips took but the bond that developed between these pairs in ministry must have been very strong. Here they were going through brand new experiences and going through them together.
Jesus sent them out with nothing “except a walking stick – no food, no traveler’s bag, no money. He told them to wear sandals but not to take even an extra coat. ‘When you enter each village, be a guest in only one home,’ He said. ‘And if a village won’t welcome you or listen to you, shake off its dust from your feet as you leave.’” (Mark 6:8-11) They were totally dependent on God and each other. I bet they were really thankful for that other person!
God has set up ministry to be a team-oriented enterprise. There are no lone rangers in ministry. I lived for the longest time thinking I was one of those masked men, but as someone has pointed out, even the Lone Ranger had Tonto. So in the context of a two-person team, when the ministry appeared to be unsuccessful (like those villages where they would not be welcome) they still had each other and what they were learning together in the process.
That the Lone Ranger wears a mask is a detail that does not go unnoticed by this observer, either. It actually seems quite appropriate because when you minister alone, you can easily get good at being two different people – one in public and one in private – something that having a partner who knows you in both contexts helps to avoid.
This two-by-two thing is definitely a good idea. I’m sure that the pairing of the disciples was not to everyone’s liking. At some point in close proximity, even the best of friends grate on each other. I can imagine someone saying something like: “Do I have to go out with Matthew again? Come on, Jesus, I had him last time.” Maybe he snored, or had very disagreeable body odor, or maybe the two personalities just didn’t match up very well. But learning to tolerate, and even love each other, is an important part of this shared responsibility. It’s what happens to us in the process of what happens to the ministry. And sometimes it’s even more important than “the ministry.”

Hey Gabby, I got your email about chatting soon... I'm going to have a busy weekend so it might have to wait until next week unless you can hop online sometime and we can chat on YIM My allergies are also acting up so I'm usually only half awake and I don't think you want to hear me sneezing and blowing my nose every 2 minutes. Just send me a pm if you want to set up a time to talk online (cellie is still acting up too... grr).

Hello Dancer! Glad to have you here. Please visit often and enjoy the fellowship here.
