Well now I am forming my own opinion whilst being discerning and led by the Holy Spirit.

I have avoid reading The Shack because it has been so popular and that doesn't always means quality. But you have made me consider reading it. <br /><br />Following the Lord is all about trust. It is a about closing ones eyes, placing our hand in His and completely trusting Him - he won't put us in any danger-there is no risk, however we think there is so try to take control, then of course things do go wrong. Thank-you for sharing the poem.Finding Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882774610725490491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349818069035818266.post-32773022806261250452010-09-28T17:23:43.768+10:002010-09-28T17:23:43.768+10:00Hi Sarah, I thought I'd pop over and meet you ...Hi Sarah, I thought I'd pop over and meet you on your own blog - thanks for the comment on my blog! :)<br />The quote is a good one... for me it speaks of having a relationship with the Lord that is not just a one-way street. If we want to have a relationship with Him, we have to allow Him to have a relationship with us... this leads to growth in us, and when we grow it often involves huge changes that often feel like a risk to us because we are just humans. Of course from God's perspective it isn't a risk, because He already knows the end from the beginning - He sees the big picture and knows how it will all turn out! And yes that is the "unknown" for us!! :)<br />This was a good challenge, to sit and really think about what that quote could mean for me. I enjoyed it! :)Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304537325454972400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349818069035818266.post-56564827027940863612010-09-28T16:20:05.719+10:002010-09-28T16:20:05.719+10:00Great to hear from you ladies...I've missed yo...Great to hear from you ladies...I've missed you!

Keep encouraged.

And, in that walk by faith, sometimes the Lord has us take steps and there isn't actually ground under our feet yet.<br /><br />If you like "The Shack", I would recommend "Rooms" by Jim Rubart. He is in my writers' group in WA and had his book launching with Paul Young, author of "The Shack."<br /><br />http://www.jimrubart.com/writing.html<br /><br />Good to have contact with you again, as we both resume our lives to somewhat normal? schedule.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182293568554955242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349818069035818266.post-87451959051748462082010-09-25T13:55:57.612+10:002010-09-25T13:55:57.612+10:00sarah, I have missed you in blog land! Sorry you a...sarah, I have missed you in blog land! Sorry you are all a little sick with the flu:( I have not read The Shack yet. But that quote for me means: that if I'm not being in a place where I'm constantly having to rely on God then I am not growing - because when there is growth, things are changing and risks being taken which force me to rely on God:)<br />I am involved in a new church plant right now and yes, it's a risk, stepping into the unknown ....:)Joyfulmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888086629467112175noreply@blogger.com
