I was afraid then - then a few years later he planted a seed in my mind and one day Id like to work with the orphans in China or somewhereJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047807188543272501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-39072396454887991012010-02-18T22:27:26.631+13:002010-02-18T22:27:26.631+13:00What a beautiful and honest post.

The line that really ministers to me is "He peeled away all the things I had relied on to give me a sense of Mattering." When we packed up our things and moved here, leaving everything familiar behind, it was very much with a sense of exactly what you describe here. Thanks for the gentle reminder, that God is with us on our journey - not that I didn't know, but my heart needed to hear it in this way.<br /><br />All the very best to you as you continue on your journey. I am right here with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-16581119774861140972010-02-18T09:58:30.811+13:002010-02-18T09:58:30.811+13:00A lovely post Simone, it's a funny thing when ...A lovely post Simone, it's a funny thing when the reality of where we are at dawns on us and we pry our grip away from expectations. I can empathize with the shock of life going a different way to the way imagined. It such a great place to be though, it remodels our identity and perhaps that will be worth everything.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716363448705314532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-63849980269459704902010-02-18T05:01:04.766+13:002010-02-18T05:01:04.766+13:00Perfection....Perfection....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-8751042376823770312010-02-17T18:57:15.819+13:002010-02-17T18:57:15.819+13:00Hi Simone,

I said to myself, "No child of mine will ever do this that and the other..." I hadn't reckoned on children having minds of their own."<br /><br />Classic. <br /><br />It's a good thing to be able to look back and say we're not who we once were. It's a beautiful thing that God has been working in you. May He never stop working in any of us.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652107321069740503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-6025359342365332432010-02-17T17:29:23.439+13:002010-02-17T17:29:23.439+13:00Such lovely words Simoney.

In a way I have had a few things like this in my life that didn't seem to work out like I had 'planned'... reading the story of Joseph and others in the Bible have helped me learn that often God's perfect plan can seem like failure or nothing in the worlds eyes... but He is doing His perfect plan.<br /><br />You are amazing!PaisleyJadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497053121360068116noreply@blogger.com
