It's so nice to learn and grow together, isn't it? I hope your Wednesday has been delightful and smoother than your Tuesday was.

Interestingly, the preceding verse speaks of holding "unswervingly to hope," which you also weave into your comment. Thank you for sharing my gratitude, and I give thanks that you found sustenance here for your own waiting. Yes, surrender does take strength, but it's not the world's version of strength. It's the strength of the Lamb slain, who makes His power perfect in our weakness. He will not give up on you or let go of you, dear Courtney. You are His, and He loves you!tinuvielhttp://www.crumbsfromhistable.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86563362162856229.post-49763049332746721372012-04-17T20:56:33.242-05:002012-04-17T20:56:33.242-05:00Praise God for this long awaited answer to prayer!...Praise God for this long awaited answer to prayer!

You are "spurring me on to good works" (I'm probably misquoting a bit here, but I think you know the scripture I'm referring to!), inspiring and encouraging me to persevere in the things that seem never-changing. Oh, I'm just so grateful for His provision and grace in your life right now. May you continue to find strengthened hope and renewed perseverance for all the other waiting you are doing. And the words from Julian of Norwich that grabbed me most were just this: mightily trust. Yes. I am working on this. And it really *does* take great strength to lay it all down in His hands.Courtneyhttp://www.growingisbeautiful.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86563362162856229.post-20920312227061261322012-04-17T11:33:36.128-05:002012-04-17T11:33:36.128-05:00Thank you for sharing it all with me.

It's so interesting to see the handwriting belonging to the names on the screen, how it corroborates and reveals what words alone communicate. It humbled and blessed to know you thought of me on your travels. (No, I have not been to Venice, nor even to the continent of Europe, but not for lack of interest. Someday, Lord willing.)
