Becoming so works based...<br /><br />you already said it well, so I don't need to ramble on. Just wanted to say I agree.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646750131838532619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192232606244623892.post-18296475852933318242012-04-09T13:52:00.677-04:002012-04-09T13:52:00.677-04:00Loved this too Em - I've mentioned to Ryan sev...Loved this too Em - I've mentioned to Ryan several times that it's as easy for it to become as legastic as the next thing.<br /><br />And I catch myself doing it (like the, "we had a gift card, I bought this on sale. . . "). I just told my sister the other day how much I'm working on closing my mouth before that part comes out. I want thankfulness for what God has provided, regardless. And I want my worth to rest in Him and not in how others think of how I live my life. Although I do hope my life reflects Christ to others.<br /><br />And Andrea - mental shopping can be SO therapeutic. : )Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11255738959729500494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192232606244623892.post-48997398190899465822012-04-09T12:46:58.779-04:002012-04-09T12:46:58.779-04:00hmmmmm...I have to say amen sister to this post wi...hmmmmm...I have to say amen sister to this post with respect to anyone attempting a more disciplined approach to life in faith-in faith being the key phrase. I love it that the Bible says (somewhere =) whatever you do, just be joyful about it. and in another place, if you are fasting, don't do it for a big show...it's about you and God not racking up points of holiness. Great post. <br /><br />And...the fact that you were checking in on the purchase before buying made me assume the best on your shopping choices-just as a side note. ;)<br /><br />I'm a compulsive "cart-er". I put stuff in my cart, walk around with it like it's mine for an hour and then don't buy it at the register. I think I'm kind of mental sometimes. ;) A joyful mental though ;) ;)<br /><br />AndriaL, Ann and boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819091836222076208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192232606244623892.post-70206307406789154632012-04-09T12:42:11.473-04:002012-04-09T12:42:11.473-04:00ditto my sister! her & i were JUST talking abo...ditto my sister! her & i were JUST talking about this last week! thanks for bringing it to light and continuing to make me think & evaluate. <br /><br />love the healthy balance you mentioned. it IS awesome that God is changing our generation with some of these thoughts & ideas...BUT satan is always going to disort God's work and plant pride & impure motives in hearts like MINE.<br /><br />love you friend!leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08792187412565998231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192232606244623892.post-22265861268043314482012-04-09T11:23:57.869-04:002012-04-09T11:23:57.869-04:00LOVE the truth in this post.
