Like Peter, I see the waves, and I begin to sink. God is amazingly faithful, though, isn't He? When we begin to sink, He reaches out to us through His Word, through a prophetic word or word of wisdom, or just through the loving hands of friends. And isn't it fun when He does a combination?!<br><br>Jan, thank you. I don't know what else to say, but it is heartfelt.<br><br>Tonya, what else do we have that cannot be taken away from us other than what God says about us? Everything else will fade away, but there is one truth that will never fade. The Truth says simply, "You are valuable because I made you. I have a purpose for you, and it is good. I love you, and my heart is for you. You cannot fail because I am in you, and I have already succeeded." In time, beauty fades, abilities wane, and gifts may change. Yet, our value does not because the King of all Eternity declares it. Our value is decided by Him. It is then up to us to decide to embrace it and live it.Jerri Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15450601096429164734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383116321037210850.post-86129332992778889492007-09-05T15:59:00.000-05:002007-09-05T15:59:00.000-05:00Thank you Jerri!

Thanks for the reminder, I need to do this more often. I remember when I quoted, "I am a new creature in Christ, all things have passed away and all things are becoming new," for me, it was training my mind that I truly was a new person! Talk to you soon.tonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07900962721269056354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383116321037210850.post-7791015298082209662007-09-05T02:31:00.000-05:002007-09-05T02:31:00.000-05:00Jerri – Thank you.

Once again, you honor and humble me with your tribute. <br><br>I pray that the lies of the enemy will fall on deaf ears and that you only hear truth. Here are the cold hard facts: <br><br>You are a blessing: <br>• to your family in your dedication to homeschool <br>• to you spouse in keeping your home <br>• to Ton, Paula and I for your words of encouragement<br>• to those you photograph<br>• to all who read your encouraging blog <br>• to the service men and woman you write to<br><br>I learned all that in just the short time I’ve known you so I know there is much more than I’ve listed. The enemy wants to silence your encouraging words so remember that you are a mighty woman of God. None of us is perfect. Dust off your armor and boldly tell him where to get off. <br><br>You are an incredible blessing and you will continue to bless others more and more.Jan Parrishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04725654580549052886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383116321037210850.post-33320775671782137412007-09-04T16:58:00.000-05:002007-09-04T16:58:00.000-05:00I've SO walked this journey.

You are chosen by Him for relationship and friendship and as an important person who has significance in His service. You don't have to be adequate because He is! You are all that Christ is and He is bringing it forth in you.Paulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16106076315144936177noreply@blogger.com
