Gue...<b>I earn $20 for completing a 20 minute survey!</b><br /><br /><b>Guess what?</b> This is <b>exactly</b> what big companies are paying me for. They need to know what their average customer needs and wants. So large companies pay $1,000,000's of dollars every month to the average person. In return, the average person, myself included, <b><a href="http://opinion-surveys.syntaxlinks.com/r/PaidSurveysAtHome" rel="nofollow">answers some questions</a></b> and gives them their opinion.Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287821785570247118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-33092345554390401862011-09-07T11:19:35.475-06:002011-09-07T11:19:35.475-06:00You would think that by now, I would know better e...You would think that by now, I would know better enough than to say "never" to anything! God has a way of ensuring that all my "never"s happen! It reminds me of that expression about if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans! But God's plan is always so much better than mine and maybe eventually, the lesson will truly sink in and I will stop saying "never"! <br /><br />(from someone who was NEVER going to have seven kids!)Sharlahttp://thechaosandtheclutter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-5672893368812593112011-09-01T09:40:40.197-06:002011-09-01T09:40:40.197-06:00I've been thinking a lot about this lately Tyl...I've been thinking a lot about this lately Tyler, these plans that we often have for ourselves and how when we let God orchestrate our lives they often turn into the exact opposite of what we had thought they would. When I was younger I always imagined myself getting married in my early 20's and being a stay at home Mum to lots of kids... well now that I'm in my upper 20's, still not married, no kids, and currently working 4 different jobs so that I can pay the bills, oh yeah, and all of this while living in Ghana... LOL! Needless to say, not exactly the life I thought I'd be living right now. While there are moments when I think "my" plan may have been better, I do have a sense of peace and trust that God does know what he is doing and that if I was more settled, I'd probably just be a really bored and therefore, boring person. Thanks for the encouragement that our own plans and ideas aren't necessarily the best!Mannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08021769356850545846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-16119966523388507832011-08-31T20:05:57.410-06:002011-08-31T20:05:57.410-06:00Have you ever said "never" to something ...Have you ever said "never" to something only to have God change your plans? <br />--Many times. I can remember being a little girl in church thinking, "I could never preach in front of this big of a group" then in high school, He asked me to do just that. I tag teamed it with a couple other people, but it was still something I never thought I'd do.<br /><br />Has He been asking you to let go of your comfortable so that your life can better reflect His glory?<br />--Many times-mostly with friendships, including ones I felt were helping me learn about Him.<br /><br />What ways are you learning that it's not about you?<br />--In almost every aspect of my life. I'm in a job right now that I thought I'd love because I'd done similar work in the past (voluntarily) and now I don't get the same joy out of it.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for your willingness to join me in prayer over my struggle with depression. It's getting slightly better. I started a journal entry that goes all the way back to January of this year, I wrote out all the things that may have lead up to the break into it, and although I'm not completely out of it, I'm definitely able to see the light coming back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-25548469897864298702011-08-31T10:49:22.420-06:002011-08-31T10:49:22.420-06:00Welcome to my new friend!

I just love how God works in us!<br /><br />Jen, it's so true that the Christian walk is a huge adventure! And people think Christianity is dull... ;-)E.

I would never have thought that when I was younger either....but when God shows His faithfulness in the regular things of life..it becomes an exciting adventure. It is truly in the uncomfortable things that I have seen God move in my life in the most profound ways!<br />Bless you Tyler!Daddy's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358965524481957636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-25909785284587916302011-08-31T10:43:46.374-06:002011-08-31T10:43:46.374-06:00Hi there!!! I got here through another blog that I...Hi there!!! I got here through another blog that I absolutely adore, Kingdom Twindom and i also absolutely adore your blog!!! I'm originally from Brazil and I was not raise in a Christina family, although we never denied Jesus. When I come to USA, after graduating form college (guess what? Psychology!!!) I said to myself that I would never be here illegally.... Don't worry, I'm not, lol, but I was for almost three years, not because I wanted too, but because it was simply hard to get the paperwork done. Anyway, my excuse to come to USA was to learn English. Little did I know about GOD's plan for me. How grateful I am for HIM!!! I've been here for 8 years now and He is definitely working on me. And lately, I'm thinking exactly what you wrote today... I was like that, and still am to a point, so GOD has been changing me slowly, and I know HE has been asking me to let go "my idea of comfortable life", to completely letting go and trust HIM. I'm not going to tell you that I'm not struggling... I am... But He is faithful and thanks to Him I have you and Kingdom Mama!!! Love!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
