It'd a difficult part of discipleship and I know my life will be better when I can walk alongside God without the burden of my stuff weighing me down. I especially liked the quote: "I am convinced that God did not mess up and make too many people and not enough stuff."<BR/><BR/>Good stuff!Taylor Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17807506927630393344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10246373.post-32345440444124260832007-03-09T13:08:00.000-08:002007-03-09T13:08:00.000-08:00Arlene, I am so proud of you for having the courag...Arlene, I am so proud of you for having the courage to stand behind your convictions. I know you won't regret it, and you'll be blessed in ways you could never have imagined, just by being obedient. Now I'm feeling kinda guilty about the new blouse/jeans that I bought in there and the really cool watch that I got for "free" :)But, I probably won't be going back, it was a little pricey for me. I really appreciate you sharing on your blog how God is stretching you to new understanding, I'm feeling the same way, I am just not quite as good at expressing it as you. When I read your blog, I think "Yes! That's what I'm trying to say!"

Very challenging & I'm glad you're taking it seriously, Ahlene. <BR/><BR/>All the way through, I found myself arguing, "I can't do that -- I have kids & a mortgage." But Claiborne offers thoughts that can be put into action, so I'm trying. The specifics are greater openness toward others as people & not projects, and a looser grip on stuff. <BR/><BR/>P.S. Thanks for remembering my b-day. I'm impressed!John Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351311870954255657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10246373.post-67817435191201857472007-03-08T07:16:00.000-08:002007-03-08T07:16:00.000-08:00ange told me you were thinking through this...it's...ange told me you were thinking through this...it's obviously a call only you can make; but I am encouraged by your willingness to engage in "radical discipleship". As we've been reading through that book, it's only fueling the tension in my life...so anyone else who is interested in reading it, you've been warned :-) I know you didn't make this decision for this reason, but I'd like to talk with you about sharing your story in some way. We need more "real-life" examples of discipleship in action.Steven J Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550629669386415518noreply@blogger.com
