Hi, Lara. I’ve just discovered your blog and see that you live in Greensboro. So do I! I am also a blogger at Marty’s Musings (mainly DIY/home) but I started writing about our adoption journey, deaths of loved ones and the trials we went through with everything in between. I have a 2nd blog that I’ve begun which will be more my homeschooling/faith/mom journey. It’s great to have discovered you! What church do you go to if you don’t mind me asking?

What does God define as good? My pastor’s wife tells me that God’s good FOR me is that I look more and more like Christ. When I think about how Jesus did “life,” I remember that He walked out Eph 2:10. He abided in God’s love, and did the good deeds God prepared in advance for Him to do. So, God must think it would be good for me to abide in His love and His words and to ask Him for help. So, my kids fighting? I could live without it, BUT when I turn to deal with it for the 100th time, I’m challenged to ask God for help and deal with it in a Christ-like manner. It’s for my good to do this. God’s good is for me to lay down my agenda and to ask for God’s help to respond to the needs around me as Christ would. Reminds me a little of this post I just read tonight …Don’t Do God’s Will Like an Atheist – Desiring God

In reply to kendalprivette. Such wisdom, sister-friend. "The great purpose of humanity is HIS glory." So true. We forget with our short-sightedness but it's true. *And* good, like you said. Thanks for commenting, Kendal. I love hearing from you.
