I too allow Satan to whisper those same words to me. I felt the Lrod calling me to organize our church's first ever retreat. We're such a large church (for our area that is) that no one ever took it on. I still have moments of feeling inadequate and quesyioning if I heard God correctly. I also have been battling fear of men and trying to please everyone so much that a friend mentioned the theme of 1 Peter 2 (I think) it is where it speaks about putting our hope in the Lord and Lord alone.Simple Midwest Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03341065315304860816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252377263602187066.post-83098235890483792092009-03-02T18:16:00.000-06:002009-03-02T18:16:00.000-06:00What a great post Melanie!

I have missed visiting here, hopefully now I can get back to my normal routine, whatever that really is.<BR/><BR/>I am so glad that God was preparing you to teach those precious children, and so glad that you did not miss the opportunity just because of a phone problem. I pray that God would use you mightily to spark each child's heart for God and to teach them of His mighty and marvelous love for them!<BR/><BR/>Blessings!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806809019557923893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252377263602187066.post-84660225314103062152009-03-02T12:28:00.000-06:002009-03-02T12:28:00.000-06:00Great post.

I feel so insecure about things at times and then find out that really, it wasn't what I thought it was, or the problem wasn't me or anyone, or that person really didn't have a problem with me. Satan sure does know how to get to us sometimes!Sabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366504500666420418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252377263602187066.post-28179343203225153342009-03-02T10:51:00.000-06:002009-03-02T10:51:00.000-06:00Praise the Lord!

Glad to hear it all worked out for you. <BR/>As for Ruth, I have a feeling that her trust in Naomi and her faith in God kept her from doubting. She seemed like a very strong woman. But then it is hard for us to know that fact for sure. Great post! Thanks for sharing. Very strong message.Omah's Helping Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574312097076548681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252377263602187066.post-4389841161703004102009-03-02T07:18:00.000-06:002009-03-02T07:18:00.000-06:00Hi Melanie,I'm so happy this worked out for you. ...Hi Melanie,<BR/><BR/>I'm so happy this worked out for you. I'm sure you are such a blessing to those children! Isn't it amazing how our doubts, insecurities, fears can really mess with our minds? Live and learn as we walk through this journey.<BR/><BR/>And no, I can't imagine how Ruth must have felt. Did you even think about her having to carry 60 pounds of food? Now that, I can't imagine. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your heart.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>BethBeth in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492590083823556624noreply@blogger.com
