Amen! By the way, I just returned home after a hectic day, and my husband met me at the door with, "What's for dinner? And did you know we're out of milk?"

And I must admit, I wish I'd learned these lessons when my daughters were younger. I do think that God can and will use me to help my daughters reach this point and to help the middle school girls I work with. How hard it is to learn to slow down enough to listen and how life changing it truly is. <br /><br />Thank Donna Carrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-15491871513309194182011-01-20T09:35:47.661-05:002011-01-20T09:35:47.661-05:00Who sings that new Christian pop song about needin...Who sings that new Christian pop song about needing a brain wash?<br /><br />Rest, simplify, listen.

Just started teaching a Bible study on Philippians, and already the "mind of Christ" is transforming my thoughts. That and the realization that cereal for dinner is perfectly okay. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-26241741497593300672011-01-20T08:17:05.898-05:002011-01-20T08:17:05.898-05:00Welcome, Ava!

Thanks for the thought-provoking post and for allowing us to share your book with our readers.<br /><br />Oh, Deb, I had a pity-party not too long ago. Maybe two weeks ago. And it was over something stupid that got me all in a funk. Why me? Why now? I'm so tired of it all.<br /><br />I've found when I get so self-pitifying, I have to take my focus off me.

When I think "I have the mind of Christ" I start to worry, because He certainly can't be this scatter-brained!<br /><br />Nothing I wanted more this new year than to find myself enjoying long moments with the Lord just as you described Ava.
