He taught us to REPLACE the thoughts in our brains that we should not be thinking with Godly thoughts. How we should train our minds to think on what is of good repute. And that it's NOT EASY! It's actually hard work for most of us! It was a message I needed to hear, as I've also been struggling in this area. God is so good, though; no matter how many times we screw up, He's always there to give us another chance. That's love. God bless you, my friend.anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08794189411033697332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10885508.post-56419542485273613952012-08-01T12:19:47.172-07:002012-08-01T12:19:47.172-07:00I think this is great (a great post, not necessari...I think this is great (a great post, not necessarily great that you feel crappy :) Good on you for being honest and vulnerable. I find great comfort in trying to figure out what God's will is and then attempting to conform to that will; also great peace in knowing that God has a purpose for me and that all events, both "good" and "bad" should conform to that purpose.<br /><br />Heavy emphasis on "attempt" as it's not always an easy task. And sometimes that "peace" is complicated. But I think it's still true.<br /><br />Anyway you should come up to Vancouver or Seattle for a couple of days. We could go to a monastery or something and have a "man retreat". Good for the soul. Lemme know if it strikes your fancy.<br /><br />- danAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596509247264835538noreply@blogger.com
