I have been at risk of derailment because when a leader hurt me I've struggled to forgive and trust God. It is pride. Thanks for the reminder. Blessings to you in your life and ministry.<br />AprilAprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01966013885453286591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260607.post-27798921258318120202010-07-10T05:31:11.114-05:002010-07-10T05:31:11.114-05:00Hi there
I have just stumbled upon your blog as I...Hi there<br /><br />I have just stumbled upon your blog as I was looking for an image to help me imagine the moment that Samuel anointed David with oil. <br /><br />Your post is obviously personal to yourself but also has some beautiful truths in it for everyone.<br /><br />When leaders disappoint us, pride is the biggest risk-factor in our hearts. Whether from a boasting place of strength or a weaker place of self-pity, I am realising that pride is pride...full-stop. Or 'period', as you would say!<br /><br />I'm looking at these pages in the Word because David is well known for being a man after God's heart and (especially in the context of relationship with our leaders) He is looking for those who are humble, teachable and trusting of Him. This is a challenge to me in the midst of difficult situations but if David can trust God in the midst of Saul's reign, then I can trust Abba in the midst of anything.<br /><br />Help us to be humble, Father. Anoint us afresh with oil for this. Amen<br /><br />Thank you:)Nick Frankshttp://www.nickfranks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260607.post-3947964524296145432010-03-30T06:35:38.242-05:002010-03-30T06:35:38.242-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260607.post-51156126681063783772010-02-09T18:27:40.058-06:002010-02-09T18:27:40.058-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260607.post-85240631382483313192010-02-05T04:15:27.575-06:002010-02-05T04:15:27.575-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260607.post-87755543934777682732010-01-18T06:26:58.612-06:002010-01-18T06:26:58.612-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260607.post-23260188230705661582010-01-12T22:34:16.322-06:002010-01-12T22:34:16.322-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260607.post-31247873664347920962010-01-06T03:40:38.543-06:002010-01-06T03:40:38.543-06:00Your blog keeps getting better and better!

I guess I've used a form of it which is carry a laundry basket from room to room and throw in whatever doesn't go in that room. By the time I make it around the whole house it's all been put in the proper place. However - using clutter as a motivation for my child's behavior is ingenious!! And saves me a lot of work!

I loved the color coordination and purse comments... way too funny.<BR/><BR/>I have strung string up in the laundry room and clothespinned the stray socks hoping for a pair, but it ended up looking like a middleaged singles bar.... not too successful in comebacks.<BR/><BR/>Clutter box is an invention I usurped and love. Place a basket in a common area, and instead of putting away every little thing on a rampage, send it into the clutter box and, when full, assign it to the child who is antagonizing all the others. Presto!<BR/><BR/>Since space is coveted, I swap out the boys toys in groups... animals for a month, then trains, then cars... only books and lego are permanent.<BR/><BR/>I try to relegate library books to one bookshelf, and keep a fabric bag there to transport them when the time is up.<BR/><BR/>Hope these are a little more practical.<BR/><BR/>ooh... and this goodie I made up myself. Potty mouth is rewarded with a free cleaning of the bathroom...sinks and toilets scrubbed by my 4 & 6 year old!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464126841871943214noreply@blogger.com
