To me it is a little like a Spa or something...It is my thought that this sort of communion with Him is what keeps us healthy, (abiding in the vine so to speak)...At least, I CAN say, it is what MY ONLY hope of vitality is.<BR/> <BR/>P.S. Your post smacked me in the face this weekend! Several times I'm rueful to admit! :) Thanks, apparently I needed that!<BR/><BR/>Leslie, Thank you so much! And exactly! He DOES care about these things! Crazy, I know! I love that He is so multifaceted as to be a God who reigns supreme, is just and fearsome, YET, is tender, witty and whimsical as well.<BR/><BR/>Carole, I haven't. But, I am getting ready to look him up on Amazon! I want it! Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Julie, yes, I feel that way, too at times. But, I much prefer that to the distance I feel when I get out of the discipline. Very much so, as do you I am sure! :)<BR/>Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Denise, I would guess you are really adept at this. You are blessed!<BR/><BR/>Hi, Debbie! Thanks for your comment and for stopping by! I hope you were encouraged!<BR/><BR/>Karolee, I am in COMPLETE agreement! I think it's awesome & completely COOL! We are so blessed to literally have the world at our fingerptips!<BR/><BR/>Tiff, you are so right! The enemy DOES want us to be "overwhelmed and confused" and I COMPLETEY fell for it 2 DAYS LATER (after this post!)! Yup! It's all in my next post! :)<BR/><BR/>To all:<BR/><BR/>Sorry to be late getting back to you. We had a bit of a household emergency & all is well now. Take care! and thanks so much for stopping by!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>mariaShe Rose Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468898873508947166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095275693450181441.post-39070171723650761062008-04-04T11:41:00.000-04:002008-04-04T11:41:00.000-04:00I love this.

He doesn't want us to worship and pray. He wants us to be overwhelmed and confused, so he can talk us into putting off our prayer life, to where we forget to get around to it from day to day, b/c we think we are so busy getting around to every other thing. I think we've all been there. I think it helps us all to hear that someone else struggles from time to time w/ the same things.

I think it is fabulous how God has put many of us seemingly harmless housewives into a world wide spiritual battle by introducing us to each other through blogging.Knit-Withttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447432036726317278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095275693450181441.post-64598855770122799682008-04-04T10:40:00.000-04:002008-04-04T10:40:00.000-04:00Thanks for posting this..

Sometimes I feel like a child tugging at His sleeve, but I find more contentment in the ongoing dialog. I suppose it <I><B>is</I></B> the awareness of His presence as close as my heartbeat. If I could do this all the time, how much happier I would be. <BR/><BR/>Lovely post, Maria.Joyful Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10605433538598120854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095275693450181441.post-48371439167813367162008-04-03T22:08:00.000-04:002008-04-03T22:08:00.000-04:00Have you ever read Richard Foster's book called Pr...Have you ever read Richard Foster's book called Prayer?

There ...Can't ever go wrong with a post on prayer! There is so much there to think on and discuss! I just love how He often DOES answer before I call! And I love giving Him the tiniest of things in my day and watching him fix it! I prayed the other day that God would give me wisdom to help me figure out what my aunt with Alzheimers did to her TV that caused the signal to be lost. I told her "We haven't asked God for help." So we did and voila, instantly I thought of something and we fixed it! Great post, as always. Love getting inside your lovely head dear friend. Hope all are feeling better in your house!luvmy4sonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261302721883036680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095275693450181441.post-91506840652848578452008-04-03T19:26:00.000-04:002008-04-03T19:26:00.000-04:00Boy can I go with you on this post.I have so much ...Boy can I go with you on this post.<BR/>I have so much to learn about prayer. I was just thinking about this today.<BR/>I think in the last year I have gotten so involved in the serious prayer that I have forgotten the type that comes as easily as breathing.<BR/>The type where I just talk to Him and love on Him. I miss that time.<BR/>Life has become so serious---it tends to drain the joy.<BR/>I think in my life satan loads things on to keep me busy with prayers that are just about battling him.<BR/>Does that make sense. I get so wrapped up in the mess that I feel as if I will never be able to move onto something else.<BR/>I know that testing and trials will always be but it would be nice to enjoy a little breather. I think in my own understanding that that would come once I am in my own space. I don't know.<BR/>See I am going on--my mind is <BR/>pretty full. :)<BR/>Time to work it out on paper.Sharon Brumfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662853880018410132noreply@blogger.com
