I am coming to that! (Just now ...Thanks, Jonathan. I am coming to that! (Just now posting these things I have been thinking about over the past few months.)<br /><br />The Lord HAS been growing my faith through this process. These postings are a record of that :-) <br /><br />"Don't try to force anything." That's the hard part for me. I've been raised so much to be responsible, to think that "God helps those who help themselves," that it is up to me to "step out in faith and do things, and then God will provide" and so on and so forth. Especially as it pertains to the church! I'm slowing unlearning some lessons, and in the process discovering the things you are speaking of. <br /><br />Thanks for putting it so clearly and concisely.Norma Hill - aka penandpapermamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034679415355279691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4253506665415753283.post-68693909470875804392011-02-21T06:28:00.894-08:002011-02-21T06:28:00.894-08:00Keep the faith. :)
Something I read recently:
W...Keep the faith. :)<br /><br />Something I read recently:<br /><br />We don't try to start a Christian. We shouldn't try to start a Church.<br /><br />The growth that happens both individually and corporately should occur organically. Don't try to force anything. Go about following your Lord, and He will grow your faith personally and grow His church around you.<br /><br />God bless!Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01266729238990589293noreply@blogger.com
