Am blessed. Was left laughing. For sure we often walk for so many miles, struggle so much for what Christ has already paid for. I am learning my lessons. B blessed

"We trudge. We sweat. We starve." Wow!! That's a great summary of your article! We do make those choices:( 'Just came back from 5 days in the Georgia Appalachian foothills where I listened to a new friend share her journey of walking with Christ through some really difficult life challenges. She and her husband trudged through on their own until someone connected them with a ministry that could help with heartache no parent wants to endure. They sweated through the risk of sharing their family pain but found full acceptance and compassion. They thought they'd have to temper their conversations with friends, but God showed them the abundance of grace that's available to them as they welcomed what God already had in place for them:) They're on the bus:) And the bus knows the way to a healing place:) Nice to read your article after being with them. They're sweating no more:) :)Karen

How many of us have not found ourselves eating crackers while fillet is served in the regal dining room with a seat for us. Thanks Eva Marie for reminding me that I am meant to enjoy the full buffet, and everyday I choose otherwise means my seat beside the Lord is left empty. Lord help me to take the seat you've died for me to fill.

Eva is right!! New Orleans in July was one of the hottest places I've ever been.
This article came at just the right time for me. Due to a lot of life changes I've been feeling more like an orphaned pauper than a "Child of the King." This was an excellent reminder of how often I listen to the lies rather than embrace the truth.
Why do I so often settle for less than the "abundant life" God has for me? Why don't I believe that God is who He says He is, and that He can do what His word says He can do? It's because I allow circumstances to crowd out the truth. I forget the history of His faithfulness to me.
Thanks, Eva for reminding of me who I am. And how far God has brought me. And for the lovely memory of coffee at Cafe du Monde, and that sweet trumpet player who surrounded us with "Amazing Grace"in the midst of the sweat and heat.
Your Sister In Christ,
