Where are we????? I am so behind....HELP!!! No worries, we will all make it to the same page. I am sorry updates have been behind, I have had an extended trip to the States that I was not expecting.
Where are we now: Currently read Chp. 5 in your book, Do Chp. 3 in your workbook.
Ready for Tuesdays discussion and comment postings!!
The effects of boundaries the need for boundaries was of much discussion as I spent time with my family in Tennessee and Missouri. Hence as a family we are reading this together!
On this past Tuesday we had great discussion with our live group. One participant shared the overwhelming feeling of just being able to get things right. And realizations of how she was doing certain things differently than the book suggests as far as boundaries already with her two young children.
We were able to lovingly encourage her. God is full of love and grace not condemnation. We will never get it all right. We need to do our best to walk in love and the love of the Father.
These following statements are some of my favorites from this past weeks reading.
excerpts from page 64 (in the regular book, not the mini book)
God’s desire is for you to know where your injuries and deficits are, whether self-induced or other induced. Ask him to shed light on the significant relationships and forces that have contributed to your own boundary struggles. The past is your ally in repairing your present and ensuring a better future.
(A better future...amen!)
from page 66
Our deepest need is to belong, to be in relationship, to have a spiritual and emotional “home.” The very nature of God is to be in relationship: “God is Love,” says 1 John 4:16. Love means relationship-the caring, committed connection of one individual to another.
Don’t you love the fact that life as God intended it is about love and relationship with others. Yet so many are hiding away, even believers. Reminds me of a great song...
“Father let you love shine down on me, let your love shine down on me, no matter what the day or night will bring, let your love shine down on me.”
My friends, walk in LOVE!!
I’ll see you Tuesday.
Walkin’ in love, Tracie
Walk in Love
