When I'm honest with myself the thought of it terrifies me! The thought of leaving friends, our church, family again gets me all tied up in knots.<br /><br />I think what inspires me about you and Darin is not that this is going to be a beautiful, amazing-all-the-time experience, but that you're doing it. I think a lot of us are just bored with our life and instead of being bold and stepping (or maybe being dragged) out in faith even when we don't want to (even one little bit). We just sit back while others truly live and we say we want to do it... but do we really? Reminds me of the book by Donald Miller: A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. <br /><br />And you can punch me anytime, especially now that your ring is fixed. And I've also decided that Matt and I really need to start praying about this whole South Africa thing again...Sarahhttp://givemeneither.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891390123212108303.post-57623754475443700472011-06-01T22:04:26.550-07:002011-06-01T22:04:26.550-07:00jonna .. you are so honest with your feelings. i l...jonna .. you are so honest with your feelings. i love to hear you talk to yourself and work through things with God..

I'd be feeling this way no matter where we were going. I love South Africa and the people there. I agree there are a lot more thorns, but there is a beauty in the thorns!<br />Hope you are feeling stronger each day!The Feyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00055089285793351624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891390123212108303.post-91399094677507356182011-05-27T03:38:55.192-07:002011-05-27T03:38:55.192-07:00How much does those people know about South Africa...How much does those people know about South Africa who are telling you such things.<br /><br />Nothing to do with your topic. Saw a post yesterday of someone showing a table scape that was suppose to depict SA. Seems the theme on the table was lilies. You know there are many more thorn trees than lilly patches.<br /><br />Thorn trees reminds me of being ruthlessly honest infront of GOD, and that I see what you are doing.rethahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484633298560719999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891390123212108303.post-73398720203942958872011-05-26T22:20:38.291-07:002011-05-26T22:20:38.291-07:00Who are you?

You are blessed in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing-chosen-precious,holy-blameless-adopted as His daughter through Jesus Christ-grace filled-redeemed through His blood-forgiven-lavished with wisdom and understanding-marked with the Holy Spirit-God's possession. Are we authentic-in His sight a resounding YES and AMEN. Jill Briscoe once said "The Holy Spirit is God's engagement ring to us." That is how connected we are to Him. Be who you are in Christ-His dearly loved child. And even if we never DO one thing for Him all of the above is still true. It's all about Him and we get to be part of His calling on our lives. I wish I were half as open and honest (authentic) as you are. I am proud of who you are in Jesus. He will hold on to you no matter what or where. Rest in His grace, love and peace. Sleep sound in Jesus. Love to you Mom Then my Corrie Ten Boom quote "It is not do, but done. It is not try, but trust. He gives the very best to those-Who leave the rest to HIM. Take it from an old saint in glory.pjvshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553908100985048004noreply@blogger.com
