When I read that you were reading Laine's Letters my heart quickened - I used to read her letters as they would arrive through emails. I absolutely LOVE that beautiful Christian woman. She is such an inspiration. I had thought that she had given up her writings years ago - so I will have to check her link out that I see on your sidebar. <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you and Happy New Year!<BR/>Kymberkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005301015609232017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-44460520802501085472008-12-30T15:01:00.000-05:002008-12-30T15:01:00.000-05:00Hi Brenda,Just catching -up on my blogging,and sto...Hi Brenda,<BR/>Just catching -up on my blogging,and stopped by for a visit.You are so right on about fear and faith.Fear seems to grip most of us more times than we like to admit,(voice of experience speaking).You always give me so much to think about.thank you!!!<BR/>Blessings, <BR/>SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949983164111997270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-22114177885964619722008-12-29T20:42:00.000-05:002008-12-29T20:42:00.000-05:00Such a lovely post.

I believe we can feel the joy of the Lord no matter what our circumstance and resting in His presence does give us strength. Thank you for such a lovely post and thank you for your prayers.<BR/>KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487481759201796912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-32304763244543875732008-12-29T18:34:00.000-05:002008-12-29T18:34:00.000-05:00A beautiful post Brenda.

Thinking that their fear must be behind them.... for they had either proven themselves or let themselves down so much that they were immune to disappointment. <BR/><BR/>But I have learned that you don't have to have faith in yourself to know no fear...you just have to have faith in God. <BR/><BR/>Wanted you to know that I have the china pattern that you use for your everyday tea.

I just bought a tea cup and saucer - "Lavender Rose". I love that pattern. It looks like your tea things.

How easy it is to lose sight of these truths and be pulled into the miasma of fret. That's why thoughtful blogs such as yours can both soothe and strengthen. Thank you so much for the great writing.

I have thought a lot about that credo and realized that "keeping busy" doesn't necessarily imply physical action. It could be so simple as to keep busy praying, couldn't it? <BR/><BR/>Legalism destroys faith, often, because it removes the final act, having faith, from us. Instead, it places a barrier between us and faith; it is a barrier that is not created by us which removes our intimacy with faith. <BR/><BR/>Very thought provoking post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
