YES! I sensed you were -should I say it "floundering" about a bit earlier (only word that came to my mind there, but I'm sure there are others that explain my feelings better) but anyway, now you'd perhaps come full circle and "found" yourself again.<BR/>Peace!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13173725.post-90886277833524430872008-02-29T10:09:00.000-06:002008-02-29T10:09:00.000-06:00Praise God you are listening to Him!

He is after all, in charge.<BR/><BR/>I too had a sense that you would not be leaving, but it was only a "sense" from far away. Several have comment much the same. No words at the time -- just a sense. Our Lord is so very good. <BR/><BR/>By the way, although I have ministry credentials with an interdenominational fellowship, my church is A/G and I have been there 19 years. Feel a kinship with you. <BR/>Blessings.Iris Godfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08514316297577930499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13173725.post-3576761773909790782008-02-28T23:00:00.000-06:002008-02-28T23:00:00.000-06:00Wow.
