I responded to you there but wanted to come here and visit too. I&#39;ve not been visiting too much once the fall hit. I&#39;m looking forward to picking back up now that the holidays are over.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing what God has in store for us in 2010. I&#39;m blessed to know you!!<br /><br />Cindy,<br /> I had started in 2002 to &quot;summarize&quot; what God was doing. I felt like 2002 was the year that I began to step out of the path of religion to find relationship, though I had been following Him since 1980. So what I did before letting go was to summarize the good of the journal entries. I deleted all records of wrongs, (things that I had listed that had hurt me) and kept all the good, (words God had spoken, places of restoration, revelation, etc). I also left the struggles I had found in my walk into believing Him. I felt like the struggles were part of the good as they revealed the victory God won in our wrestling matches.<br /><br />I was HARD to let go... yet I knew it was what He asked of me. I&#39;m not saying He&#39;s asking of everyone.. just me.<br /><br />There was something that about it that I knew was releasing me and those I love. I can&#39;t explain it.<br /><br />God will make it clear to you if this is something He desires for you to do... It was the right time for me. I felt it in my bones!<br /><br />I am working on writing down my journey into grace. It&#39;s what got me to go back and revisit the journals in the first place. I wanted to remember what He had done. In the process I was forced to revisit things I had forgiven. It was then I knew that I could no longer keep a record of wrongs... as neither did He.Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13553121852669901186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-37052585374559562852010-01-03T20:47:10.733-08:002010-01-03T20:47:10.733-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13553121852669901186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-60143981380548020012010-01-02T19:27:41.526-08:002010-01-02T19:27:41.526-08:00Happy birthday, Mark!
