Legalism Versus False Grace Versus Authentic Grace
Legalism/Religion sees a person stuck in a pit and points out all the wrong choices that got them there, what they are doing wrong that is keeping them from getting out of the pit, and then instructs them on techniques and the best effort to get themselves out of the pit. It watches to see the repeatedly failed attempts and then tells the person in the pit why they (the person watching) never fell in the pit, reminding the person in the pit of their shame and failure and emphasizing their own (the person watching) "success." Legalism/religion focuses on personal effort.
False grace sees the person stuck in the pit and says, "I don't think you are in a pit. I think you look really good where you are. It's no one's right to tell you you are in a pit. That sounds like judgment! Let's host a party and celebrate and show all of those religious people how wrong they are!" False grace never produces true freedom.
Authentic grace sees the person in the pit and says, "Hey, you want a hand up? It's no fun being stuck in a pit; I should know — done that plenty of times. No more pits!!! You and me, we don't belong there any more. Pits are too smelly, too confining, too soul-estrangling, too lacking in air. We were meant to be free!!!" Authentic grace is the hand reaching down to pull the imprisoned soul from the snare of bondage.
In The Shadows…
Ever felt like you are living in the shadows?
Something I have heard repeatedly in my mind is the line: "You are in the shadows." I believe that repeated thought was a lie from the enemy to get me to believe that I was inferior, insignificant, and overlooked.
I remember when the lie first started. Part of it happened when I had a best friend at age 12. I remember when she gave me one of those Best Friend necklaces, where I had half of a heart, and she had the other. Then, I remember not long after she gave me the necklace that I introduced her to a girl who had recently moved into her neighborhood. I remember the pain of discovering they had become each other's best friends.
The pain of rejection is something that you don't easily forget.
I remember having birthday parties and my friends attending, but I remember the pain of feeling overlooked. My older sister had a fun, outgoing personality, and my friends couldn't help but like her. My birthday party was spent with my friends hanging on to my sister's every funny statement and her winning smile. My sister didn't mean anything by this; it just happened, but I felt forgotten and overlooked. It was painful to know that the birthday girl could disappear, and no one would seem to care a whole lot.
I remember the time when someone said to me, "It must be hard to live in your sister's shadow." And the time when a friend said (was meant as a compliment): "You are almost as pretty as your sister." Those statements stuck with me, and I began to believe that I was less than and in the shadows. I concluded that God must not love me as much because He decided that I didn't need as much charisma or to be as beautiful on the outside. That was the beginning spiral of coming to resent who I was, how I was made, and added to the lies already in place that I wasn't loved as much.
Fast forward a few decades, and God had done a lot of healing in my life, but there were still layers, and the old wounds of rejection could be a memory quickly resurrected.
I remember how not that long ago, I was sitting with friends, feeling those old lies of insecurity, knowing that I was not the central focus and taking the sideline position once again. The problem is I hadn't chosen to stay on the sidelines because of loving others and being other-focused. I was partially taking that position for that reason, but I was living the lies of insecurity, inferiority, and rejection once again.
God pulled me from that low place, and my focus was re-centered once again. I was once again walking from a position of wholeness rather than brokenness.
As life goes, it doesn't take long before a circumstance or person triggers a memory from the past, and we are quickly swept back into the feelings of rejection and inferiority.
I wasn't swept away in the avalanche of old patterns, but I knew that I had to replace the old lies with truth.
This morning, I opened my Bible with the anticipation that God would minister to my aching heart. I asked Him to speak to me where I am, and He did!
God began to answer the lie about shadows with the truth. What He showed me is this:
"I am not set aside; I am set apart." He began to show me that "my situation is not about me being overlooked but about me being prepared." (Borrowing these quotes from Lysa TerKeurst in Uninvited.)
God keeps bringing John 3:30 back to my mind this year, and He did once again this morning. What God was reminding me is that "when we decrease God has room to make big things happen." (Borrowing these quotes from Lysa TerKeurst in Uninvited.)
God is preparing me for authentic ministry, and authentic ministry comes from a full place in God so that I don't look to others within ministry to validate me.
Authentic ministry means I need to be God-aware and others-focused so that I don't worry about me. Until I get this, I cannot be in a place to adequately give to others.
Ministry isn't about me receiving. It's about me giving. I don't need to receive from a ministry when I have entered into authentic ministry from a position of having been filled and being filled. Out of that fullness or abundance flows life and love to others, and that is authentic ministry.
I have an entirely different perspective on the term "shadows" now. Satan has been attempting to speak defeat into my ears. God though is saying the sidelines is a good place to be if it means you have let God have the limelight.
If I am constantly trying to step into the limelight, then it becomes not about me claiming my rightful place or showing others I have worth. Rather, it's me taking God's place.
This doesn't mean I won't ever be in the "limelight" physically, but within my soul, there must first be this bowing to the One greater than me — this realization that the limelight is not mine, but to stand there to bring Jesus into the limelight.
I let self take a shadowed or dying position so that Christ's life in me can grow. It's the death of self.
The real me — the life and identity of Christ, uniquely represented in me — is what will grow and flourish and have room to breathe the more the false identity and false self dies.
I no longer need to fear the shadows because I have not been set aside but set apart to a significant and special calling!
God is helping me to live out the reality of the verse He gave me for this year:
John 3:30: "He must increase, but I must decrease."
My Former Life In A Nutshell…
I am going to link to this guy's blog post because it summarizes in a nutshell what it was like growing up under the influence of ATI (Advanced Training Institute/Bill Gothard program).
I love how this guy describes his home as a loving home! Mine was too, and I love my parents!! They did a lot of good, but we were raised within the ATI culture. This guy's article explains a lot of the issues I have with the philosophies of the ATI movement/teachings.
This guy is right on when he explains about the constant pressure to be perfect. I remember that so well and my twisted view of God, as a result.
I didn't want to get close to a God who seemed to be always waiting for my next moment of sin/failure and who seemed like He only punished with no full restoration or hope of redemption in sight. It was taught that consequences were God's judgment on us; there was no concept of redemption for even our consequences.
It was definitely a place of much fear! Parents wanted to raise their kids to turn out godly. So in fear, they pulled them from the world, even from among other Christians, sometimes family members, and society. They thought that by secluding them, they could produce a more godly generation.
As I wrote in a previous blog post, the issue with this is, they forget that there is evil within not just without. The heart is what matters!
They also lived from fear. What they didn't realize is that reacting to our fears will not lead us into freedom but just into another form of bondage.
We never want to raise our children from a position of fear but from God's leading. The safest place to be is always within the center of God's will.

Is Religion The Only Offender Against Women?
I recently saw a friend's comment on Facebook about how a lot of issues within the church are based on gender issues. I understand the validity and even pain of what she is saying because I certainly saw the reality of some of this personally. Yes, the Church has allowed some of those false ideas and lies from the past to remain. They are just labeled with "religious-sounding" terms so it sounds better or more Biblical.
Just because I call a dandelion a flower doesn't make it so.
So often, terms have been falsely defined, and so we reject the term without understanding that within every lie, there is often a nugget of truth.
When Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, he took God's Word but twisted it and misapplied it in the wrong context, making it a lie.
There is the term submission mentioned in the Bible, but it has been often twisted and misapplied in the wrong context. Within the same passage as submission is also God commanding husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church.
How did Christ love the Church?
How did Christ love the Church? By domineering, forcing submission, commanding their service while lording His position over them, devaluing them, ruling with harshness and unrelenting pride…? No! Rather, Christ served. He laid down His life. He listened. He healed. He cried. He restored. He forgave. Everything He did, He did for them. Christ did not come to the Earth to be served and but instead to serve. His was an example of humble, servant leadership, always seeking the best for the other person. He saw the value of the weakest, most vulnerable in society and acknowledged them and gave them His time and attention.
What Scripture shows is not one ruling, and the other serving and submissive/subdued. What Scripture shows is both husbands and wives are called to lay down their lives to love/serve another one. Both are called to put the others needs first. Both are called to Christ's example of Agape love, which is the most selfless and humble love of all. Both are required to lay down their life for the other.
I wrote the following in response to my friend's FB post, with some additional thoughts:
It is sad the way religion has abused women. It is also sad the way the world abuses women. One tells us that we are inferior to men. The other often continues to promote the same thing by taking it from a different angle, telling us that to be important we have to prove we are like men or better than men, which only says, "We are only important if we can prove our worth by being like a man or better than a man."
What if the truth is, our uniqueness is part of our amazing, beautiful package of worth?!!! It's not in being like a man or better than a man, because that actually feeds into the lie; it's merely a reaction to the lie rather than the authenticity of the truth.
It's also not about us being a sub-category, inferior, subdued, oppressed, or dominated.
The truth of what I see in Scripture is God restoring the broken image — the bad rap. women got at the Fall (false teaching, BTW). In religious circles, women are often blamed for the Fall.
God always noticed the down-trodden, the wounded, the vulnerable, the oppressed, and the undervalued. That is why I believe He made sure He restored that broken image by how He demonstrated His thoughts concerning women in His life on Earth.
Jesus revealed Himself to women who in that society often felt unnoticed, unloved, undervalued. He demonstrated that He saw, heard, and honored them.
Jesus allowed women to be the first ones present to testify of His resurrection. Women were the first ones to see and hear Jesus in His resurrected state. Interesting how the very things that women seem to feel within in religion — not seen or heard — are the very things Jesus did for them. He saw them and revealed Himself to them. He spoke to them and heard their cries.
God speaks of many women in the Bible whom He showed He valued, regardless of how society at the time regarded them. By lifting these women up and telling their stories, God shows that He heard and saw their worth. (See Abigail, Hannah, Sarah, Rebekah, Eve, Esther, Miriam, Jochebed, Rahab, Bathsheba, Deborah, Lydia, Priscilla, Dorcas, Mary Magdalene, Mary, Elisabeth, Mary and Martha, Samaritan Woman, woman caught in adultery, Tabitha, Damaris, Naomi, Ruth, and the list goes on.) Entire books of the Bible were dedicated to telling some of these women's stories.
He showed in the Proverbs 31 woman a woman of amazing dignity, strength, resourcefulness, honor, and trust. She made the decisions for the running of her household, for doing business, for buying land. By sitting with the elders, her husband demonstrated great trust and respect in her abilities. She had freedom, responsibility, and the trust of her husband.
That's the kind of woman God has called me to be, and I am thankful that His picture is of strength, dignity, honor, trust, resourcefulness, intelligence, wisdom, etc…!
God has restored in me so much of the image that was broken. God alone knows what our purpose looks like — religious doesn't, and the world doesn't. Each are just vying to react against each other — too busy pitting against one another.
The authentic image steps out and away from the mess and is secure in knowing her worth.
Religion rejects our image and undermines it. It says we are inferior and meant to be controlled and dominated by men.
The world rejects our image and tells us there is no value in the way we were created unless we compete to be like a man. This is nothing more than once again undermining our image.
Christ shows the Father's heart, and what we see is that women are unique, a glory to God, they are clothed with strength and honor, virtuous, and our voices are heard. We are seen, we are heard, and we, as women, are valued. We don't have just a place in God's Kingdom. We are an integral part of His Kingdom!
If we want to know our value, we won't find it in the world, and we won't find it in religion. We will find it in the God who made us, who loves us, and who shows the greatest servant-leadership by lifting us up and calling us into positions of amazing influence and honor.
We don't have to be more or different to be validated! We already are of infinite worth!
Don't Let Envy Keep You From Skating — From Living With Joyful Confidence
Last night, our family got to roller-skate with our church family. What a blast!
It brought back so many fun memories of skating as a child with my sister in our unfinished basement.
As an adult, it is so much fun to be able to skate now with my own kids! Last night, I loved being able to clown around with them, embarrass them a little, and just plain have fun!
As I was skating, I saw a kid that was really impressive in his skating abilities. While watching him, I overheard some of our visiting kids say, "He is a show-off." I wish I had thought in the moment of an appropriate response, but I kept thinking later that evening: "It's okay to let someone enjoy themselves, to enjoy something they are gifted in, and to not feel intimidated by someone else's talent/gifting."
I was thinking how easy it is to judge another person. Maybe the kid was showing off, but if so, maybe he was looking for someone to validate him. Either way, enjoying someone else's talents and abilities doesn't cost us anything except our own insecurity and pride.
Why does it bother people so much when someone is displaying skill and talent? Should we tell them to hold back or hide their skills? Is the issue really about them displaying too much skills/gifts, or is it more about us — our insecurity that doesn't want someone to outshine us?
Why not let others shine?
I was impressed by one woman, whom I respect, who recently stated, "I get my good looks from my mom." I have been raised to think that such a statement is arrogant, and it's better to imitate weakness or to hide talents — to display false humility. It was such a different perspective to see someone own their blessings and gifts. Sometimes, it seems like we feel like we have to apologize for the blessings God has given to us.
A friend told me how someone recently said to her: "Humility isn't the same as meekness." How true!!!
In other words, you can be humble but also be bold at the same time. Just because you are "meek" or quiet doesn't mean you are humble. You can walk around "passive" and "submissive" but be full of pride and a sense of superiority.
Last night, I decided not to worry whether someone would take it as arrogance or not but to skate my best and to have fun, to be silly, and to skate with joy and confidence.
There is so much freedom when we quit living our lives to please everyone around us but live to please the Lord!!!
The result was I felt more confident on my skates, I had a blast with my husband, and I had fun with my kids and the other kids on the rink. During a couple of the songs, as I felt the freedom to skate confidently and to allow myself to skate my very best, I couldn't help but feel Abba-Daddy's delight in me. I couldn't help but feel the pure joy that comes from living my life to His credit and to know that I can live my life with bold confidence because I live in the assurance that I am beloved and cherished by my Heavenly Father.
Running On Empty?
I started this year with a theme/verse that God had given to me: "He must increase, but I must decrease." (John 3:30) The theme was freedom from self.
Let me tell you, when you know you are called to a place of dying more to self so that you might live more in Christ, the battle is not going to be easy! This entire year so far has been full of many wonderful God-moments, but it has also held some huge attacks against my identity.
I have written numerous blog posts about identity because this topic is so incredibly important and is very dear to my heart.
You might be asking, "What does identity have to do with feeling like I am not just running on empty but I am dried up, cracked, and brittle?"
Talk about busy!!! We are down to 5-6 weeks left in the school year. The end is in sight, but there is so much to accomplish at the end. Summer sounds like a "breather," but for those of you who have some or all of your kids in school, it's a different kind of busy.
In the 21st century, "busy" is such a common description that if you ask someone how they are doing, 95-percent of the time, they will answer, "Busy!"
I understand that we can't ignore busyness all together and live. I have five kids. I home-school two of them, two are in private school, and I have a 3-year-old who desperately needs to be potty-trained. I have a side business. I try to stay connected with people. I am a soccer-mom, basketball-mom, and swim-mom, during the typical seasons. I run to allergy shot appointments every 3 weeks, orthodontist appointments for three people regularly, and at least 22 other medical appointments in a year that are just for regular maintenance (optometrist, dentist, gynecologist, dermatologist, and ophthalmologist). I run to fix retainers and glasses that seem to constantly be getting bent or stretched.
So, if busyness comes with the territory of living, how can I avoid the never-ending feelings of emptiness that result so often?
Is the issue the busyness, or is it something else? Is busyness the root cause of my emptiness or merely a symptom of the root cause?
To start to answer these questions, let me share a little of my recent experiences with you.
I knew I needed a spiritual "re-alignment" recently. When I started to feel those old feelings of insecurity rearing their ugly heads, I knew I was it was time to come in for a "tune-up."
Feeling hyper-sensitivity, feeling really "low," feeling jealous, feeling insecure, feeling a desperate need for validation and affirmation? Those are dead-giveaways that there is a core problem that can't be fixed with more pats on the heads, a platform, a position, a vacation, a new outfit, a horizon, a new vocation, or a new decoration. In fact, those very things will continue to feed the feelings of emptiness and discontent. They will satisfy fleetingly, but there is a never-ending need for more…
The other day, I took the kids to a nature center/park. My 5-year-old daughter was immediately drawn to the shiny appearance of Pyrite (Fool's Gold) that they had for sale. I decided to purchase the large rock because I knew it would make a great object lesson and also would be a good reminder to me.
Pyrite has the appearance of something of value, but the reality is that it doesn't hold the core qualities that distinguish it from the similar appearance of real gold. See the following article on differences: https://www.thermofisher.com/blog/mining/pyrite-the-real-story-behind-fools-gold/ and http://www.minerals.net/mineral/gold.aspx.
It is interesting that Pyrite is brittle and can't bend like real gold. The mineral structure of Pyrite is mostly sulfuric. The appearances of gold and Pyrite is similar, and they can be found in similar rock-beds, but the structure is different and thus is their use.
Pyrite reminded me of how we often search for the value of something, based on its appearance. Does it look like success? Does it look like prosperity? Does it look like affirmation? Does it look like security? Does it look like beauty? Does it look like fame? Does it look like comfort?
What if the value of something isn't in its appearance but in its core? What if it's the structure of the thing itself that determines whether it will hold up or whether it will crumble under pressure?
During part of my "re-alignment" time, God was showing me that I had been following after fulfillment based on the appearance of things: their appeal. What He reminded me is that the most important things — the real blessings are not out there. Rather, they are always right in front of us.
God doesn't dangle His blessings on a string and then keep pulling them back further the closer we get to them. Rather, His blessings are often the gems hidden in the foundation of our every day lives. God places His most priceless treasures in the framework of our daily lives — within the gritty, dull, hard surfaces of our lives. It's mixed in the hard grind of our daily and in the muddy, messy of authentic ministry.
Why do we rush after the appeal of appearances?
What drives the empty to pursue the empty?
A friend recently gave me the book Uninvited by Lysa TerKeurst. I want to share a few powerful quotes from her book:
Indeed, the world entices your flesh but never embraces your soul.
We run at breakneck pace to try and achieve what God simply wants us to slow down enough to receive.
Imagine a little girl running with a cup in her hand, sloshing out all it contains. She thinks what will refill her is just ahead. Just a little farther. She presses on with sheer determination and clenched teeth and an empty cup clutched tight.
She keeps running toward an agenda He never set and one that will never satisfy. She sees Him and holds out her cup. But she catches only a few drops as she runs by Him, because she didn't stop long enough to be filled up. Empty can't be tempered with mere drops.
There's no kind of empty quite like this empty: where your hands are full, but inside you're nothing but an exhausted shell.
He's into the slower rhythms of life, like abiding, delighting, and dwelling — all words that require us to trust Him with our place and our pace.
Why do we run to agendas, people, things, and appearances? What is the draw?
The answer is you look for fulfillment out there when you are empty inside.
Remember, the verse I mentioned at the beginning? …the one about Him increasing and me decreasing?
You know what truth came to me as I was getting my "tune-up"? It was that I had been trying to find my worth again in myself.
You see, it's not about the agendas, people, things, fortune, fame, and appearances out there. What we are really seeking is to find something out there to satisfy me, to validate me, to fill me, to secure me, and to give me a sense of worth.
That's why it is so dangerous to pursue those things from a place of emptiness. You are not after those things necessarily because of the thing or people themselves. You are after what you hope to get from those things or relationships.
Look at relationships. Know what happens when we try to pull from people our sense of worth? This is what happens: rejection, shame, pride, insecurity, judgement, selfishness, comparisons, jealousy, labels…
As Christians, the deception is even more subtle sometimes. We look to ministries and service for our fulfillment. It is so hard to see through to the truth of our motives because we can cover them in so many "right-sounding" words.
I believe this: I believe that God's invitation isn't to serve Him. I believe the invitation is to be loved by Him and for Him to love through us. The focus really isn't on serving; it's on being loved by God and letting His love flow through us to others in tangible ways. Otherwise, we'll attach "strings" to people so that we can attempt to pull from them what we lack and which only God can fill. This kind of "love" isn't really love but selfish manipulation of people to ultimately feed my sense of worth.
This profound truth recently "struck" me: Authentic love produces authentic righteousness. If we try to live righteous lives to find worth, to attempt to prove our worth before God, we will only produce self-righteousness, which isn't righteous at all. When we are still trying to figure out our own worth, we will bury ourselves under layers of ministry, "righteous" labels, and appearances, but the core motivation is once again an attempt to persuade ourselves, others, and God (we think) that we are worthy of His love.
The truth is this:
"God's love isn't based on me. It's simply placed on me." — Lysa TerKeurst in Uninvited
And this… Authentic love that comes from a place of being filled by Him will always flow out. It's like a stream. There's a continual reservoir of being filled and pouring out but never running dry because the source of the water is from deeper and higher up. By pouring from a place of abundance, there's not a need to be concerned with running dry.
The place of abundance — the abundant life — is God Himself!!!
Living loved isn't deciding to be loved… it's settling in my soul, "I was created by God because He loved me." — Lysa TerKeurst in Uninvited
You don't have to win God's love. It was poured out on a cross for you. It ran down in rivers of blood from a crown of thorns and spikes driven into His hands and feet. It gushed out from His side, where a spear was thrust to determine His death was real. It revealed itself in a myriad of colors, shapes, sounds, and fragrances at Creation. It reveals itself in an eternity that is planned just for you to experience the fullness of life, love, joy, and peace like you have never known before. Even now, it shows itself in the daily grind where He offers His Presence to be the "Gem" that is found in the midst of the hard and muddy of life.
The Silent Voice
Growing up, I experienced the nurture of loving parents, but I also grew up in and around a culture where it was expected that women were to be the quiet, affirming, supporting ones. In fact, a strong woman was perceived as a threat to most men in our spheres. I remember wishing I was a guy… because I did think and wanted to be able to contribute intelligent thoughts and insights.
In and around some of those spheres, a "child" was considered a child until they had a home of their own. As a female, my parental authority was then transferred to my spouse's authority.
There is an element to this that is true and healthy: children are under the protection and authority of their parents until they reach adulthood. It's the parents' job to train their children to take increasing responsibility until they are able to make the transition into adulthood. Husbands do have a responsibility to protect and give spiritual guidance to their families, but this is not to the exclusion of the wife's influence or voice within the home.
In my growing up environment, there were many families that took the authority issue to an extreme. Children were considered "children" until they were given permission to marry, but they were also told whom and when to marry, where to work, what jobs to work, etc… There were many adults I knew who still were not marrying the ones they loved because it was not allowed (in their 20's and 30's).
You might wonder why didn't those adult "children" just do their own thing. When you have been raised to obey and not question your authorities or you are considered rebellious, you dare not question the system. Who wants to be guilted or called rebellious because you dared to question something? The stigma would be too harsh. My voice was controlled and "silenced" in some of those circles (not trying to reflect this back on my parents; this was the environment of the families and teaching in which I lived).
I remember going on a mission's trip to Russia. During my stay there, the wife of the main guy in charge of the entire operation in Russia pulled my sister and I aside and told us one day that we talked too much and that guys don't like women who talk. Again, my voice was shamed and silenced.
Within a number of church circles with which we associated, the women were also told to keep silent. There was not a lot of opportunity for women to have a vocal presence within the church. The result was I envied the men who had the honor of vocally getting to share because I had to silence so many thoughts that were brimming over in my heart. I did share them with the Lord and even when appropriate with fellow women. My voice though felt disqualifed.
[Note: The point of this blog is not to discuss what the Bible does and does not say concerning the roles of men and women.]
My husband is a quieter guy. He also learned to be quieter, but that is his story… Because he is quieter, I remember people accusing me of "wearing the pants" in the family. Again, I taught myself through the continued experiences of my life to hold back, shut down, silence my voice because some male might see me as a threat.
[Note: I had no intention of being dishonoring of my husband, but I simply had an opinion that was articulate and insightful. Somehow, wisdom and insight coming from a woman was a threat to some people.]
My longing to be heard, to have a voice led me to blog. Some might be misinterpreting what I am saying as being a self-absorbed preoccupation with a need to be heard. My motivation for blogging though was that God had given me a voice to be heard and somehow it needed to be heard so I began to blog. The "voice" He gave me was to share the things that He is teaching me on this journey, called life.
There are times that I can be in a group of women and will even share a few things, but still feel not "heard." Part of that is because sometimes we are all so desperate to be heard that no one is really listening.
Sometimes, we are all so desperate to be heard that no one is really listening.
Why is being heard so important?
Why is it so painful to feel like no one hears or cares to really hear you?
Have you ever been in a room brimming with people, the noise is deafening, but in the middle of the noise, you feel unseen and unheard?
Is there more to "seeing" and "hearing" than the physical sense?
Is it more the sense of feeling loved, validated, wanted, respected, appreciated, and noticed for which we are really looking?
What are we desperately desiring in the pursuit for validation, respect, and appreciation? Isn't it about connection, love, and belonging? Isn't that where we truly find purpose?
Yet, we look for purpose sometimes in the very things that disconnect us from connecting, from receiving and giving love, and from really experiencing the stability that comes from truly belonging.
There is commitment that is required to really belong. Yet, those who need that sense of belonging the most are the most likely to "shy away" from commitment. It is frightening, risky, vulnerable.
As I seek to find my voice, I am also aware of the pitfalls. It's easy to try to find my voice and in the process I forget about everyone else's voice.
Do I enjoy my "shining moment" at the expense of others?
Right now in my journey, I am still learning to find the courage to be heard, to not apologize for being heard, and to also in the process learn to listen to the silent cries of all the voices around me, longing for someone to care enough to truly listen.
What Is Our Identity?
As I was studying I John chapter 2, I was amazed once again by the depth we see in Scripture! The topic of identity has been greatly on my heart because how we perceive ourselves is how we will live. This is why it is so important that our thinking is truthful when it comes to how we see ourselves.
As a Christian, I know that my identity is in Jesus Christ!
Who He is is my position and also is what He is revealing, transforming within me (because of Him).
The following verses reveal the nature, the premise, the foundation, and the purpose of our identity:
1 John 2:10-15
10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Their Spiritual State
12 I write to you, little children,
Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.
13 I write to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
Because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write to you, little children,
Because you have known the Father.
14 I have written to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men,
Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the wicked one
1. First, we need to know that we are forgiven.
The forgiveness Jesus offered to us at the cross frees us from Satan's and sin's dominion. Sin and Satan no longer have authority over us because Jesus defeated them at the cross. This means, Satan has no authority to condemn or accuse us. We do not need to listen to his lies/false accusations.
2. Second, we have "known the Father" is emphasized several times.
The point being made is that we need to know our Heavenly Father. Children will often talk, walk, eat, and have similar personalities and even posture to that of their parents. The same is true with us. We need to know our Heavenly Father so we pick up on the "family resemblance" and know what it means to be a "Christian."
Who we are is completely tied in with who He is. We need to know our Heavenly Father so we can understand better who we are.
3. Third, we need to understand that we can overcome the evil one.
"God's truth had a place in their hearts. And that truth made them victorious in the spiritual battles they faced." (from Community Bible Study on Christian Living) God's truth illuminates the "darkness" and strengthens our faith, keeping us rooted and grounded. We can overcome by understanding the authority we have in the name of Jesus and in the promises of God's Word.
4. Fourth, the Word of God needs to abide in us.
The Word of God will give us insight into our Heavenly Father, into our inheritance, into our standing as His Beloved children, into His promises towards us, and into right thinking in order to have our thoughts transformed by the light of His Word.
5. Fifth, we need to understand the new natures we have been given as His children.
In First John 2, the young men are told that they are strong. This reminds me of when God called Gideon out and called him a mighty man of valor when Gideon was actually living in cowardly fear. Once God called Gideon into his new calling and into his new identity, Gideon actually began to live out the truth of what God was actively creating within Gideon. The same is true with us. God calls us "children of light" and calls us His beloved. He says we are overcomers. It is our inheritance and our new natures to overcome, to live victoriously, to understand we are forgiven, and to understand that Satan and sin no longer have the right to have authority over our lives.
What does this new nature look like?
The distinctive characteristic of God's true children is the love that they manifest and live out towards one another.
To walk in light/truth means that we are walking in love. The truth/light can only be correctly discerned through the eyes of love. Authentic truth/light is never separate from love.
We receive abundant love from Him that we in turn pour out on others.
When You Want To Quit
"I feel like giving up!"
This is what I felt recently…
I am not a quitter so quitting simply isn't a word in my dictionary, but you can quit without quitting. You can lose the passion, lose the drive, lose the desire.
It's okay to not be gushing passionately about something. It's okay to admit that you are going through a tough time. Just be careful you don't begin to live out your feelings.
Just be careful where and when you say those words so you don't pull others down, but you can encourage others by sharing the authentic struggle.
There comes a time when you have to push through/press through the pain.
The mental hurdle is the biggest hurdle of all!
The greatest victories are not seen in the easy times — the times when everything is going our way.
The greatest victories are when we are birthing our dreams.
We birth our dreams in the midst of terrific anguish and pain. We birth our dreams when we press through pain to bring forth the outcome that is on the other side.
I have given birth to five children, naturally, and I know what I am talking about! You don't think you can do it, but you do!!! You bear down, you yell out, you put every ounce of concentration into expelling a baby from your womb. It's messy, it's excruciatingly painful, but it's exhilarating and miraculous!
True dreams are birthed through overcoming the greatest obstacles!
On the spiritual side, that is what makes our salvation so precious and amazing!!! Our spiritual inheritance was "birthed" through the crushing and agonizing death of Jesus Himself!
It is learning to walk in His victory that we experience the greatest joy! Learning to walk in His victory is "grunt" work, but it's "grunt" work that becomes infinitely precious and exhilarating as freedom is found there!

Inter Milan released Adriano today after the Brazil striker deserted the club earlier this month.
Inter said Adriano's contract with the Serie A team had been consensually ended effective 1 April.
"Inter's appreciation goes to Adriano for the eight years and 74 goals we lived through together," the club said in a statement on its Web site.
After the last break for national team play, Adriano announced from Brazil that he was taking a break from football and cut off contact with coaches and teammates for three days.
Adriano joined Inter in 2001. After loan spells with Fiorentina and Parma, he scored 29 goals in his first full two seasons with the Nerazzurri in 2004-05 and 2005-06, but has struggled with his form since.

text: Ideas 06/02/201706/05/2017 by Ted Gioia Schopenhauer for Millennials Finding a new grand narrative By Ted Gioia The most significant movement in philosophy and social thought during my lifetime has been the demolition job. And it's been going on for roughly 40 years. Judging by the growing pile of rubble, the wrecking crew has kept very busy. I'm talking about the dismantling of the big theories. In an earlier day, a major thinker was expected to offer a system, but over the course of the 1970s and 1980s something changed in the prevailing intellectual currents. The emerging trend embraced the debunkers of systems. The very same large-scale unified theories that delighted academics in the 1940s and 1950s each got discarded by the baby boomers as they came of age, dismissed as vehemently as they had once been embraced. Under the new regime, any all-encompassing system was, at best, a dead end, and at worst a prop to discredited power structures.

There are children gathered at the feet of the woman teaching the class. They are singing Christmas carols, listening to stories about how we as people came to be on this earth, making arts and crafts. It could be taking place in any church basement across America.

Only, rather than using them to count prayers, the beads are there to help the children contemplate the stages of life development.

Off Center 07/28/201507/28/2015 by Michael Lind The Clash of the Three Moralities In the United States, social debates are really about the clash between custom, creed, and contract. By Michael Lind The passion surrounding the so-called "social issues" in American politics, from reproductive rights to gay marriage, is exacerbated by the fact that to some degree "the issue is not the issue," as the Sixties slogan held. In other words, what is really at stake is not merely the nominal subject of the debate, but also a clash of worldviews. The United States, like other offshoots of Europe and Europe itself, is the heir to three distinct moral systems: custom, creed, and contract. Custom is the source of one kind of traditional morality. What is right and what is wrong is determined by tribal tradition, as passed down by one generation to the next. While customary morality in one form or another is as old as humanity, creedal morality — the ethical system of organized, scriptural religions like Judaism, Christianity and Islam — is only a few thousand years old. Writing is a technology, and there could be no scriptural religions until that technology had evolved. Furthermore, scriptural creeds require at least some of the population to be literate. Only agrarian or industrial societies have sufficient surplus to support a specialized class or caste of clerics to serve as the guardians and interpreters of the sacred texts.

By Kelly Cherry This fascinating book traces a debate about the nature of time. The debate begins on April 6, 1922, in Paris, at a meeting of the French Philosophical Society. The opinions expressed will persist and permutate into the 21st century. The first and primary debaters are Albert Einstein, a strikingly good-looking and ambitious young man, and Henri Bergson, a philosopher already distinguished and well-published. Each will develop a wide following that summons up views and arguments on behalf of one or the other. More… "A Matter of Time" Kelly Cherry Kelly Cherry's new poetry book is Quartet for J.

Look at Democritius and Santayana. By Michael Lind For a long time I assumed that atheists had to be angry. Growing up in Austin, Texas in the 1970s, I would listen to two broadcasts on Sunday night: one from an African-American church and one from Madalyn Murray O'Hair, who had made my hometown the center of her American Atheist Association. The cadences of the preachers were the same, and the services alternated sermons with readings. But there were no songs in O'Hair's atheist sermon, and the tone was one of barely-controlled rage. "Why do the heathen rage?" The quote from Psalm 2:1 used to appear in ads by Protestant fundamentalists placed in the University of Texas student newspaper. Madalyn Murray O'Hair was one raging heathen. Like O'Hair's creed, the evangelical atheism of Richard Dawkins, the late Christopher Hitchens and others is best understood as a counter-Christianity or counter-Abrahamism. It is defined by what it is against, Abrahamic monotheism, and it fights the enemy by adopting its tactics (and, in the case of O'Hair's atheist church, its very organization). The very term "atheist" defines the belief system in terms of what it opposes. The philosopher John Gray has even described "evangelical atheism" as a new form of fundamentalism. At the risk of using the "no true Scotsman" fallacy (no true Scotsman generalizes about Scotsmen!), I would suggest that no true atheist — make that ethical naturalist — lives in a state of perpetual smoldering outrage at the silly beliefs of other people.

He saw tragedy and death in life, and that was why he loved it. By Stefany Anne Golberg Miguel de Unamuno's earliest memory was of a bomb landing on the roof of his neighbor's house during Spain's final Carlist War. The philosopher and poet was born in conflict. Unamuno was a Spanish patriot and one of its most outspoken critics; a Basque who was also a Spaniard; a child who wanted to be a Catholic saint; a philosopher who was suspicious of philosophy. Miguel de Unamuno woke one night in 1897, tormented by dreams of falling into nothingness. Just a few months earlier, Unamuno's infant son Raimundo had contracted meningitis. Raimundo's illness disabled him physically and mentally. He was not expected to live long. Miguel de Unamuno believed that this tragedy was his fault, divine punishment for turning away from his childhood faith and embracing scientific rationalism. That night in 1897, Unamuno's wife Concha found her husband sobbing. She held him and called out, "My child!"

You noticed, with particular attention, the little signs above the individual fruits giving their names and prices. Suddenly, it seemed unaccountably odd that any of this should make any sense to anyone. How very strange that these numbers and words and pictures and physical objects are all related, you thought. It was a warm morning and you walked out into the sunlight with a beating heart and a sheen of sweat on the palms of your hands. For a few more moments you trusted neither sun, nor earth, nor sky.

By Jessa Crispin Since the age of the Druids, bees have been a symbol of wisdom. The Greeks and the Celts used the symbolism as well, as did cultures in India and Egypt, Sumerian mythology, and Christianity. Bees were the symbols of sun gods, earth goddesses, and the Virgin Mary. In the Jewish story, Deborah — whose name means "bee" — was a prophet who saved her city from invaders. In English, Welsh, Irish, Greek, and assorted other languages, the word "bee" is caught up by sound or by root with the word for "to live" or "alive." Even Charles Darwin was scared of the knowledge to be found in the bee hive, afraid their cooperative, altruistic lives could disprove his theory of evolution, perched as it was on that vicious idea of survival of the fittest.

You can't just get Old Testament on the place, burn it to the ground and salt the earth. If we Sodom and Gomorrhaed the location of every atrocity, we'd have no place left to live. And so post-World War II and post-Berlin Wall, various techniques are explored. There was a taboo phase, and the bad things were never discussed. Then there was an "educate the children" phase. A writer told me that the children used to be forced into six-week-long courses on the Final Solution. They were told that their parents were responsible or at the very least participants, and if they were told any differently, they were being lied to. … More… Posts navigation ≪ MORE Ideas Journeys Interviews Columns About & Contact

Thanks Tina — great advice… there are some people out there advocating reducing total sugar (limiting natural sugars too).. thoughts on that? I've been trying to minimize the processed sugar and feel better — but boy it is tough… It's everywhere…!!! What about sugar substitutes like stevia and xylitol?
Laura, hi and thanks for the follow up questions! I'm not an advocate of limiting natural sugar in the diet or springing for sugar "substitutes" or sugar alcohols. Learn why by watching my brief video: http://bit.ly/eVhI6w. Hope this helps!

State Department:
Issues Affecting Funding of Iraqi National Congress Support Foundation
GAO-04-559: Published: Apr 30, 2004. Publicly Released: May 20, 2004.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-4268
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
As part of the efforts by the United States to oust Saddam Hussein, a critical element of U.S. policy included funding the Iraqi National Congress as the lead Iraqi opposition coalition. In 1999, the Iraqi National Congress Support Foundation (INCSF) was established to provide an organizational structure for Department of State funding. From March 2000 until September 2003, the Department of State funded several INCSF programs, including television broadcasting. INCSF's broadcasting goals included broadcasts into Iraq focusing on providing the Iraqi people unbiased news and information and updating them on efforts to bring democracy to Iraq. GAO was asked to review (1) the history of the Department of State's funding of INCSF broadcasting activities and (2) the key issues affecting State's funding decisions.
State's funding of INCSF programs totaled nearly $33 million for the period March 2000 through September 2003. This money was made available through 23 cooperative agreements and amendments that provided shortterm funding at irregular intervals. The funds were provided for several purposes, including establishing new satellite television capability (Liberty TV), newspaper publication, and information collection programs. About $10 million was earmarked for Liberty TV broadcasting activities, which included hiring staff, establishing studio operations, and actual broadcasting. There were several periods during which State did not have an agreement to fund INCSF's program, causing State to later fund INCSF activities retroactively. State's funding approach affected INCSF's ability to conduct television broadcast operations. Liberty TV broadcasted from August 2001 to May 2002, when funding shortages caused by funding and policy disputes between State and INCSF resulted in termination of broadcasting. Attempts to restart Liberty TV failed due to a combination of factors, including continued disagreements between INCSF and State over funding requirements for the broadcasts, the rapidly changing conditions associated with the war in Iraq, and INCSF's relocation of operations to Iraq in May 2003. INCSF repeatedly complained to State that the short-term nature of the funding agreements made it difficult to run an effective television broadcasting operation. State cited three reasons why it was unable to reach long-term funding agreements with INCSF: (1) State was concerned about INCSF's accountability for funds and operational costs, based largely on results of audits of INCSF, and remained concerned even after INCSF took steps to improve its accountability during late 2001 and 2002; (2) INCSF resisted U.S. government policy prohibiting INCSF operations inside Iraq; and (3) State questioned both the usefulness of INCSF's information collection program and whether it was appropriate for State to fund it. (In May 2002 State decided to drop its funding for the information collection program, effective August 2002.) Against this background and the sporadic funding arrangements that characterized the program, the process of proposal and counterproposal continued without producing agreements that could lead to restarting Liberty TV. Through their inability to work together to restart Liberty TV, State and INCSF missed a chance to reach the Iraqi people at critical times prior to and during the March 2003 war in Iraq.

Syria opposition wants rebels to halt attacks
Syria's main opposition leader said he had urged military defectors to limit their actions to defending anti-government protesters but feared his influence may not be enough to prevent civil war.
Syrian National Council leader Burhan Ghalioun said he pressed the leader of the Free Syrian Army, an umbrella group of armed rebels, to rein in operations after they launched a series of attacks on troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
We are worried that we will slide toward a civil war which pits a free army and an official army against each other, he told Reuters in an interview late Thursday. We want to avoid a civil war at all costs.
In the last month army rebels have attacked security forces, destroyed part of an armoured convoy, opened fire on an intelligence centre on the outskirts of Damascus and killed six pilots at an air force base.
Ghalioun said he had asked the head of the Free Syrian Army, Colonel Riyad al-Asaad, to limit his actions to the protection of the demonstrators... but never to launch attacks, operations against the Syrian army forces.
Asaad agreed but insisted that the Free Syrian Army actions were defensive operations, Ghalioun said.
I hope he will keep his word and it is fundamental for the success of our revolution to preserve its peaceful character, that means popular demonstrations, Ghalioun said. We do not want to transform into (a) militia that fights against an army.
The United Nations says at least 4,000 people have been killed in Assad's crackdown on protests which were inspired by uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Authorities blame the violence on armed groups and say 1,100 soldiers and police have been killed since the demonstrations erupted in March.
Ghalioun was in Vienna to rally support for his 260-member opposition council formed in Istanbul three months ago. He said foreign intervention may be inevitable if the bloodshed continued, but Assad would bear responsibility if that happened.
It is up to the current regime to avoid a civil war, meaning an army against an army and military intervention that everyone wants to avoid, he said.
I think that it is not up to us to demand (intervention), but it will happen by itself in any case. If the regime ... continues to kill hundreds a day, the world cannot sit back and do nothing.
Ghalioun addressed around 500 supporters in Vienna on Thursday. Flanked by bodyguards, he emphasised the importance of opposition unity and peaceful demonstrations.
The university professor heads the main opposition National Council but it is unclear what influence he has over protesters inside the country or what role he would play in Syria if Assad were to be toppled.
Asked what he was doing to address the concerns of minority Christians, Alawites and Kurds in a post-Assad Syria, Ghalioun said the population was united and any future government must safeguard equality in the mainly Sunni Muslim state.
After the tensions which the regime has introduced in the population, there needs to be a strengthening of national sentiment by presenting a plan for a democratic, secular state which respects all of its citizens and which criminalises all discrimination -- ethnic or politic or religious, he said.
Ghalioun said he believed Assad would be toppled but it was impossible to predict when. No one can say. I think he has completely lost his legitimacy as president, he said.
I hope that he will stand down by himself.

This cartoon depicts the sinking of the Soviet Union and all of republics launching into democracy in life boats.
(Broken Link Removed)
do you know anything about the transition to deomcracy in europe some details and stuff that will help me
The first step was the fall of the Soviet Union and the replacement of communism with some form of democracy in Russia, the other republics, and Russia's satellite countries. Most countries had a fairly easy time, although they took a while to overcome the economic disadvantages of communism.
Study this article carefully for more details.

Definition of Charybdis
: a whirlpool off the coast of Sicily personified in Greek mythology as a female monster — compare scylla
Did You Know?
The Strait of Messina is the narrow passage between the island of Sicily and the "toe" of Italy's "boot". In Greek mythology, two monsters hovered on either side of the strait. Scylla, a female monster with six snake-like heads, each with pointed teeth, barked like a dog from the rocks on the Italian side. Charybdis, on the Sicilian side, caused a whirlpool by swallowing the waters of the sea three times a day. When Odysseus attempted to sail between them, he encountered disaster on both sides. Being caught between Scylla and Charybdis is a lot like being between a rock and a hard place.
Origin and Etymology of charybdis
Latin, from Greek
First Known Use: 15th century

"Wonderful location and a charming apartment. Really nice owner, very helpful. I completely recommend this place for a great Paris vacation."
An extremely comfortable studio, well appointed, in a great location. Near to food of all kinds, transit, a short walk to the Luxembourg or 20 minutes stroll to Notre Dame. A vibrant, but not touristy, neighborhood. Claudine is a marvellous host!
The location was spectacular. Close vicinity to both the Metro and Bus (#91,92,89). Both my husband and I utilized both and found it very easy to navigate around this wonderful city. Ms. Drame (owner of the studio apartment ) is a pure delight. The studio is amidst great restaurants, cafes, all walking distance. I highly recommend this quaint studio for its prime location and friendly hostess. I am sure to be visiting again in the near future.
Madame Drame,
You have a wonderful, charming apartment in a wonderful location. I enjoyed this location because it's not very touristy so we were able to get a realistic observation of the culture. The area doesn't sleep which was great for a couple who was stuck observing two time zones, so we'd be hungry at 12:00 :-)
While, the location was away from the posh, tourist area, it was not too far and the walk was enjoyable. We were a 20-30 minute walk away from the Louvre and the Eiffel Tour which is great exercise from enjoying the almond croissants, my favorite. Also, the famous garden isn't too far away, so it's nice to go for a walk or jog in the morning and enjoy the scenery.
Also, the public transportation makes getting around simple because there is a train and bus station very close by for those who aren't interested in walking.
My only warning is: The apartment gets very warm in the summer as there is no AC and there is no elevator. This was not a problem for me because again, I would indulge in pastries every day. Plus the apartment is located on the 3rd floor so it isn't that bad.
Thank you so much for your hospitality and I look forward to using your property again :-)
My wife and I stayed at this rental for a week during our first trip to France. The location was incredibly convenient (the Montparnasse – Bienvenüe metro station was a few steps away and gave us options to go everywhere we intended to go in the city), with markets and restaurants all within a short walk. Claudine was especially helpful, and offered to make herself available if needed (she lives just across the hallway).
The room itself provided all that we needed, and was quite comfortable. The small kitchenette space was quite useful, as was the clothes washer. Also, while it is located overlooking the Bd du Montparnasse (a busy street), the windows kept pretty much all of the noise out.
It was a wonderful stay, and we would certainly recommend staying here.
We are a writer and an artist and stayed at this studio apartment for two weeks. The area is very lively and full of good restaurants and shopping centers. Many movie theaters and books stores as well. I walk to the Grande Chaumiere for studio drawing sessions (less than 10 minutes). The owner and her son are very nice and helpful. No fuss whatsoever. I forgot my portfolio there and they are kind enough to keep it for me to pick up later (which I hope will be soon!) For one or two people, if you want some real Parisienne experience, come stay in this place.
- Les Cars Air France direto de Orly e Roissy.
- Linhas 4 Metro um minuto a pé.
- 9 linhas de ônibus para um ou dois minutos a pé.
- Gare Montparnasse 5 minutos a pé (para Versailles particular).
Montparnasse é um dos bairros históricos de Paris (pintores e artistas) e agora um dos mais movimentados. Dispõe de cinquenta restaurantes, muitos cafés, teatros, salas e teatros e vários museus e salas de música (Bobino, Le Petit Journal, Le Grand Ponto Vírgula ...).
A partir daqui todas as principais atracções turísticas de Paris estão dentro de 20 minutos (o Louvre, Notre Dame, a Torre Eiffel, Invalides, Champs Elysées ...). Os Jardins do Luxemburgo e do Quartier Latin estão a 10 minutos a pé.

What was the orignal idea of boundaries and the problems that have occured because of this?
The provincials and territorial boundaries of western canada are so familiar that it is easy to forget how abstract they are. Beofre, Eurpoean settlement, native peoples, metis, early explorers and fur trappers divided western canada according to it natural boundaries-recognzied features of shield, plain, mountians, rivers, and forests. such boundaries = illsuited for purposes of modern state: political leaders like to have clear line indicating the extent of their authority.
I don't get the answer
It's saying that the artificial borders of provinces that you now find on maps (see the link below) were not how the early people in Canada thought of boundaries or borders. They thought in terms of "natural boundaries" -- rivers, mountain ranges, forests, etc.
So that was the orginal idea?
Yes. Think of maps you've seen drawn by early explorers of North and South America. They had some things right, but other things wrong -- and not until people actually traveled all over those lands and seas and islands did maps start being more accurate. But the earliest people in those areas had no clue about what the land was like when all they saw were the coastlines and the open seas.
Oh, I see:) Thanks so much:D
And for one of the problems, I think the 49th parallel of latitude, which set the boundary between British and American territory in the West(was a problem), since it cut through plains and mountains. And the people who had been accustomed to crossing a natural area were hemmed in by lines on the map.
And think about people who may be in the forests along the 49th parallel -- can they always tell exactly where the "line on the map" is? When they're out there in all those trees and with hills and mountains and lakes and rivers all around, who can tell where the magic line really is? !!
Yeah. People would keep getting lost.
What happened when the establishment of a boundary between British columbia and Alaska came about? I believe this was anothe problem.
Oh, I'm sure ... and no doubt for all the same reasons.
