Now I don't know what's what, or how to sort through this and that, or to recognize his discipline. Thoughts?Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084155058486841700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953637111624680294.post-1020132940391185672011-11-09T11:05:26.557-06:002011-11-09T11:05:26.557-06:00I can only think that God led me to read this post...I can only think that God led me to read this post just now. Hebrews 12:11 is just what I needed to hear as I struggle to homeschool David this morning. He's being very and unusually resistant today. I will be sharing it with him.Loriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330707386846025237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953637111624680294.post-23547952402368098492011-10-25T09:21:57.099-05:002011-10-25T09:21:57.099-05:00J read that Psalm to me last night.

So amazing that such a familiar Psalm reveals itself in new ways in different seasons, like all of that living Book seems to do.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12768439145520137267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953637111624680294.post-70784197192593887492011-10-25T08:57:41.149-05:002011-10-25T08:57:41.149-05:00Your post reminds me of something a woman said in ...Your post reminds me of something a woman said in small group this weekend: "You either suffer the pain of discipline now or the pain of regret later. Either way, it's painful." She is a personal trainer and has shared these words with many of her clients; however, she came to the realization that her words actually apply to our spiritual lives, as well. <br /><br />God's discipline is painful, and being disciplined in our walk can be painful, but how much more painful would a life not fully submitted to God be?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248429249559032560noreply@blogger.com
