Strange that even though there can be no doubt a calling by God, I still like to need to hear occasionally, "Keep walking. You're going in the right direction." God is good to continue to lead and guide us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353085035723439032.post-746949793895578962009-05-27T20:37:08.743-05:002009-05-27T20:37:08.743-05:00I've always thought that we had the best grandpare...I've always thought that we had the best grandparents too. I remember Grandpa telling Tim that I needed a lot of affection and to make sure to give me enough hugs. Grandpa was always so loving and snuggled with me all the time. He would make up songs and sing to me. I understand that unconditional love because of them too. We were very blessed to have them.beckybjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470647117004086201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353085035723439032.post-5385770177109458702009-05-27T18:48:17.123-05:002009-05-27T18:48:17.123-05:00Oh Becky I miss him to.

I still have difficulty on quiet afternoons up north, sometimes I hear a chainsaw in the distance and expect Grandpa to walk in the cabin. Its a weird feeling at times for me, I think I have come to terms with Dans death in many positive ways, but with Grandpa and Grandma, it seems harder for me to not to miss them. I understand the total unconditional love of Jesus because of their love, no strings, no performance level, no expectations, just love.Little Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564555951175629888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353085035723439032.post-24032597818300625332009-05-27T14:39:51.425-05:002009-05-27T14:39:51.425-05:00Great blog, Tony.

I know exactly what feelings you had on those trips. In ministry, I sometimes have fears of being alone but not for long. With my dad close by, I always felt safe. And I know that now, when my fears rise up, I need to sense the safety, comfort, peace and COURAGE that are only found in my FATHER'S embrace. Lord, help me to look up, press in close to you and rest on your precious promises. And then, by faith, walk through the brush to the beautiful streams of refreshing that come at precisely the right time. Love you, Tony.Pastor Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08694350014032414973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353085035723439032.post-68478672491437676202009-05-27T13:15:58.822-05:002009-05-27T13:15:58.822-05:00I always find it so hard to trust that no matter w...I always find it so hard to trust that no matter what, God has our best in mind. God supplies my needs and he never lets me down...wow...sometimes so hard to believe. I love how you said "do I complain...of course" That is something I can relate to:) The truth is we can all say these things but to actually apply the truth of it is sometimes the hard part. Thats usually me, complaining through it all until finally the application of this principle takes hold and I KNOW that he's taking me down that path that leads me to him. Oh wait, did I say "KNOW"...just ask me tomorrow and I'll have no faith. I'm a work in progress I guess:) <br />By the way...it was super good to hear about grandpa again! I miss him.beckybjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470647117004086201noreply@blogger.com
