I can relate in a different way. I tend to be a Martha, but I've been working hard to develop Mary's mindset. Being ADD, it's hard to turn off my thinker and simply sit at Jesus' feet. But God knows us. He wired us individually, so I asked Him for help. As a writer, the only time I seem to be able to focus my thoughts for any length of time is when I'm typing. And He gave me a small online prayer loop. :) Now my prayer life is so much better than before. And when He has a word for me, He can chase away the ADD-driven cacophony so I hear Him. :) I loved this post!! I can relate in a different way.

Dixon Sat, 03 Sep 2011 19:08:51 +0000 http://ginnyyttrup.com/?p=676#comment-65 Thank you for encouraging us to bend toward God's patient whisper, which promises restoration and freedom as His Truth penetrates our minds and hearts, one verse at at time. Your transparency and wisdom refreshes my heart. I pray we continue to approach worship as a lifestyle and make time for extended retreats into the glorious peace of alone time with our amazing Daddy. "The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts." A.W. Tozer (The Pursuit of God, p. 9) Keep on shining for His glory, beautiful sister.

I hope to find some time to be with my Lord in quiet and solitude, to hear His voice and find rest for my soul. Grace & Peace to you sweet friend.

I just finished,Words, today :) And I LOVED it! I am working on my first novel but not my first book and it is a LOT to learn and a lot of work and certainly not a get rich fast trip. I haven't had to do any speaking yet but it's been suggested. I'm not crazy about it but if that's God's will, I will. and sometimes it's lovely to talk to the dog or in my case, the cat because they don't have an opinion or tell my I'm wrong :) Blessings, Mel Please feel free to stop by: <a href="http://melindatodd.com" rel="nofollow">Trailing After God</a> So well said!

]]> Comment on Lies by Jenna http://ginnyyttrup.com/2011/07/lies/comment-page-1/#comment-29 Jenna Fri, 15 Jul 2011 12:49:13 +0000 http://ginnyyttrup.com/?p=628#comment-29 Ginny, I so look forward to every blog because somehow that always seem to speak right to my current situation, be it spiritual, physical, emotional or all. My pastor gave me that same verse last week, as well as my mother. Can I say the Holy Spirit is nudging me gently? The Liar has been telling me similar things lately. "You don't share your faith enough, you don't help the poor enough, etc etc." I've really been feeding into it, thinking I wasn't good enough and really getting terribly disheartened over the condemning thoughts. But like you in the ways of spending time with God, I think i'm starting to realize that there are so many ways of loving and sharing faith that don't always equate to one specific way. Can I ask your opinion on something? How do you interpret John 3:19-20? Ginny,
