Amen, sister! Our God is a Living God, His Word to our hearts as alive and incisive as a "double-edged sword." I dare not water it down with stale triteness, shallow platitudes, or pandering blather! (When my writing smacks of any of this, I invite you dear sister to lovingly rap my knuckles to nudge me back onto His creative, living, vibrant pathway!) "To grow as His scribes, we must be growing in grace. Our part is simply to abide; He does the growing." Yes! How amazing that it is our job simply to feed on the Vine; it is then His work to shine through us with His loving Spirit to make us fruitful for Him. What an awesome privilege, yet so often taken lightly! Thank you for your encouraging words: "It also seems we best express the truths of the Kingdom when we’re walking in them. Otherwise, we only parrot what we’ve yet to understand, and hurting people can sense a lack of authenticity. So, to 'write down the revelation and make it plain,' we begin with surrendered hearts, attuned to His Spirit." With these words, may I, with His help, heed them! Thank you for your many prayers for me dear sister! Much love♥, Angie I love it! Amen, sister!

I have not been blogging much this week with all the chaos in this waiting time, but I hope to get at it again next week. Thanks for always providing inspiration. I appreciated your input on what I wrote.. I have worked everyday this week a cold seems to be taking down the office staff one at a time. Again thanks for caring.
