And for those of you who may not know how the story ends, check it out in Exodus 14. Let’s just say…God clearly got them out of their jam, but they had to do the walking.

That was an awesome video.

Thanks for sharing your struggle. I totally agree and have the same struggle, but no answers…just questions

Comment on A Time For Everything… by StacyJ

Great post…I too have struggled with the same issue. I have been especially “addicted” to a certain blog site the past year or more and I increasingly sense the Holy Spirit nudging me, questioning me why do I love the words & pictures of this food/family/photo blogger more than His. I will even go so far as to admit that I am very close to “idolizing” this particular person…she has a life that I envy, one that I dreamed of since I was a child, and she has inspired me in some good ways, however, I have not been able to tap-dance around the Holy Spirit and by His mercy & grace, I will get my priorities straight.

Comment on Three Concerns with “Co-Sleeping” by Mike

Mike — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 15:35:00 +0000

My partner falls asleep breastfeeding our 2 yr old almost every night – at about 8:30. This has become the bedtime routine for her. We all sleep in our king bed. This has worked out ok and of course it’s so nice to snuggle up a baby. But now things are changing and I’m feeling like time for intimacy of any kind has been practically eliminated – not even a conversation uninterrupted by kids… we have 2 older girls as well. Sometimes we’ll flirt a little during the day and have a plan to meet after baby is sleeping. But almost always my partner will be sleeping as well. I’m feeling like this has become an unhealthy routine and is damaging “us”. Something good has gone too far and now our relationship is missing something extremely important. I’m ok with co-sleeping… But I’m not ok with this routine that has developed around it.

Comment on More Wisdom from Oogway by Oboefi

Also, just another thought to add:
The Bible tells us not to judge, that we should leave the judging to God.
If we decide to deem the news “good” or “bad,” then we are making a judgement call when that is not really our place to do so. We should take things for what they are and leave the judging to God.

Hey Darlin – thanks for commenting, and for continuing to be so patient and faithful with both of us knuckleheaded guys! I’m looking forward to the whole experience on the trip, and I’ll save snarky comments about us sharing a room for another post more on topic. :]
