In reply to JViola79. Always needy of grace. Like with my venture to memorize the Sermon on the Mount. Ugh. But that's another story for another day in need of more grace. Blessings, Joanne.

In reply to Vanessa. "The desire to be known vs. the desire to know." Praying we would be singularly focused. Otherwise, it's all in vain. Thanks for the wise perspective, Vanessa.

In reply to Katie Orr. I love this, Katie. It's so true. God transforms but keeps our individuality. xoxo

I loved that you started with “today”. It may not be every Friday. And that in itself is grace. Grace to miss if we need to but able to come back.

Blessings,
Joanne

This is wonderful. And I used to loathe the idea of being “small” in the world’s eyes. But it God’s eyes? It is a safe place to land 🙂

“What do I want people to call me? ”

Such an important question. It reminds me of a song with one line that just reverberates continually in my heart, mind and spirit — “I don’t want to say a word if it doesn’t point the world back to You.” I can’t remember now who sings it, though I can hear it in my head and am often belting it out! 🙂

This is such a great lesson for us, especially us bloggers where our God-sized dreams can quickly venture across that line into worldly goals of fame and fortune and praise and accolades. I struggle with this daily – the desire to be known with the desire to know. The desire to be loved with the desire to love on others! Thank you for this!

It is incredible to see how Saul then Paul was the same man after his conversion (passionate, dedicated, etc.) yet totally different. His characteristics didn’t change, but his character did. Paul was then able to embraced the humility experienced, which once would have been unbearable without a new heart.
