Thank You!
Pra...Lovely, heart-felt, honest words! Thank You!<br /><br />Prayer has always been my rock. "Mini conversations" are the norm for me. Yet, I get that others have their own relationship or view of the word "prayer." <br /><br />It took my hub a while to "adjust" to that part of me, and yet, during a particularly emotional pregger moment, he said to me, "I'm just asking that God is with you right now." <br /><br />My soul and cells filled with emotion, and what more could I do than say "thank you" to God for guiding my husband in all ways.<br /><br />A fun aside .. I've learned that with our 13 year old, it works very well to use, "I/we need to pray on this before deciding..." instead of "no," "yes," "maybe," *other answer.*<br /><br />The teen has been raised religiously (hub's son first marriage), and yet responds well to the word and the concept. It takes it from "my" hands to God's hands, and from ego to God. <br /><br />Have I used it as a buffer? Sure, but I also know my heart's intent, and sometimes we just don't have an answer or know what's best in a moment. Some decisions/ideas take time..and not ours.<br /><br />Sorry if this got a bit self-belief-based at the end.<br /><br /><br />Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11270757626717383175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576474175047022633.post-69385344626806274562012-11-04T18:30:56.823-08:002012-11-04T18:30:56.823-08:00Yes, while I am not a religious person, I think it...Yes, while I am not a religious person, I think it is GREAT when people are passionate about what they believe in - no matter what it is!

Fortunately, God didn't give up on me and in my late twenties I was born again and able to put on a new self with His love and Grace. I don't know how I lived so long in darkness but now that His light and love is on me it is my most treasured. Thank you for writing this and giving such glory to God! I sometimes wonder how much better an athlete I could have been with God's strength driving me instead of my own.

I don't like religious stuff to get judgy either you know?? A lot of people live with guilt over this or that. <br /><br />Having said that though, I think this post was about you. Not trying to change anyone, or anything, but telling of you. <br /><br />I think it was a good one. :)<br /><br />Have a good weekend.
