Thanks for illuminating that!<br /><br />My spiritual goal right now is twofold: humility and obedience. I suspect that if I get the first down, the second will follow. ;)Kristen Stieffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06716097889143393543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-29528909276224404212011-06-05T15:01:07.505-04:002011-06-05T15:01:07.505-04:00Thanks, Deb.

I find that when writing devotionals or preparing to teach I learn a lot more than I ever effectively convey.Lisa Karon Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175430876079208723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-5589264454718960552011-06-05T14:59:27.455-04:002011-06-05T14:59:27.455-04:00Thanks, Suzie.

To just be still can be sooo tough. It takes a lot of understanding of who God is to quell or impulses!Lisa Karon Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175430876079208723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-13017497954444628632011-06-05T14:30:30.652-04:002011-06-05T14:30:30.652-04:00Don't tell anyone but I was thinking of this p...Don't tell anyone but I was thinking of this post during church.

That is a wonderful goal to aim for. <br /><br />I think for right now my goal, which still needs a lot of work, is "be still". But now the goal of having Jesus marvel at my faith will always be in my heart and mind.<br /><br />Thanks, Lisa.Suzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-73012684911176945522011-06-05T08:12:10.384-04:002011-06-05T08:12:10.384-04:00I think "amaze" carries an element of su...I think "amaze" carries an element of surprise. Like wow-I-can-hardly-believe-that-happened kind of surprise. But impressed is definitely in there too.

I don't want to equate it with surprised but more like impressed- which really reflects what you've said here Lisa. Great food for thought but I don't think I have an answer for your question. <br /><br />Thank you. Have a blessed week everyone.Debra E.
