Like it is good music, not boring at all. They are peppy praise songs that the kids and I sing together. It's called Seeds of Courage, Seeds of Praise, Seeds of Faith and so on. Very good!<br /><br />I love getting more Scripture in this mind. It helps me fight the devil's mind games and take those thoughts captive.Stacie, A Firefighter's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14195223939229023945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-85705346955777954272010-10-19T00:45:02.129-05:002010-10-19T00:45:02.129-05:00I often need a kick in the pants. It's just SO...I often need a kick in the pants. It's just SO easy to say, "I'll do it tomorrow". But, it feels so much better when I do it TODAY! <br /><br />Sounds like you have some great ideas! I think discipline is very much a part of life - but surrender comes first. Surrendering to the duties of our calling. The perspective we have can make such a difference. <br /><br />I think of the verse, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." What I find so interesting about that verse is that it doesn't say, I will make your work seem easy or that I will make you feel better about your work... no, it says, "I will give you rest". Ah, sweet rest. Why wouldn't we want to surrender to that - to Him?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing Grace.<br />Love,<br />LynnetteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034668237991084928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-81602779695871169342010-10-19T00:44:16.213-05:002010-10-19T00:44:16.213-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034668237991084928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-16193507181388317162010-10-18T01:48:14.035-05:002010-10-18T01:48:14.035-05:00yea. i theoretically learned about this first at h...yea. i theoretically learned about this first at h2o retreat in like 9th grade. But I've had to relearn it over and over and over since then. Making vows really just relies on myself, and results in guilt. <br /><br />Noticed ya deleted facebook. Love the picture of trusten and Ryan. I actually have been playin this nerf gun game on campus called humans vs. zombies. Basically a campus wide tag game were humans shoot zombies to stun them and zombies try to "eat" humans by tagging them. Real fun.<br /><br />Anyway, I'd love to potentially see you some over thanksgiving or christmas if you're available. It's been FOREVER. Thanksgiving might not be best for me (might be going to colorado). But I should be free for like 3 weeks in December/January (not doing big trips like normal). Let me know what your guyses availability is and maybe we can work something out ahead of time. Hope all is well<br /><br />JohnJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715150261651386315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-62838380270310392522010-10-18T00:21:08.597-05:002010-10-18T00:21:08.597-05:00I just loved this post.

It's awesome!<br /><br />This is so true and I admire you for being willing to give it all to Him. I too have the 'want to' but most times I just 'don't want to', if that makes sense. For me, I first need to really want to give it all to Him, I'm just stuck with keeping it all to myself. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this today.{:miss v:}https://www.blogger.com/profile/06164026177156505876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-74706095387431496462010-10-17T21:04:28.340-05:002010-10-17T21:04:28.340-05:00Love this post and the picture at the top is absol...Love this post and the picture at the top is absolutely perfect! :)Linshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008784069617396203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-38853232072858989992010-10-17T21:03:59.421-05:002010-10-17T21:03:59.421-05:00Surrender.

I too fall short more times then I care to admit, and like Kate wrote when it comes to promises or commitments made to others I have no problem following through, however on ones made for me I fail miserably sometimes.

Usually those are things that only affect me. I do not believe in taking back commitments I have made to others because they count on me to follow through. However, when it comes to commitments that only affect me, I usually fail horribly if I don't have any other motivation than my own commitment to myself. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
