I heard some wise advice today on this - if we try to force something out (a promise from God in our own timing, work our own plan, etc.), we&#39;ll give birth to an Ishmael. <br /><br />Training our ears to hear is one of the best things we can focus on.Koinonia Business Womenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768999470730767805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480476960982603041.post-15060509888724550262011-09-20T18:20:44.233-07:002011-09-20T18:20:44.233-07:00Thank you Krista! Your email/post came at a time of indecision on a new side business opportunity for me - so this was definitely timely.<br /><br />I have found God speaks sometimes loudly and softly, but we (as his sheep) need to keep a &#39;trained ear&#39; to his calling. Perhaps it is only then, we will hear him speak to us about a question/prayer/indecision.<br /><br />LizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480476960982603041.post-72164766440717941422011-07-05T21:57:48.552-07:002011-07-05T21:57:48.552-07:00I agree Kathy!

So glad you stopped by my blog today, and for your encouraging comments! Looking forward to receiving your emails since I&#39;m signed up.

I just now (several days later) read your post. I actually had something similar happen in church yesterday. I was led to pray for someone I didn&#39;t know who needs employment. I felt I had something specific just for him. After praying, HE prayed for ME just what I&#39;VE been praying for myself! What a surprise...I&#39;m going to do this, great prayer idea!

In my &quot;Is this a God-opportunity&quot; decisions, lately, I have had to grit my teeth and say &quot;no&quot; just based on an inner conviction without knowing why. In hindsight, I have ended up instead on a free trip to Europe to learn about the Reformation, an unforgettable time with a friend where God changed my heart, and my husband&#39;s grandfather&#39;s funeral, a six hour ceremony honoring the greatest human I have ever personally known. I could not have known about any of these plans on the day I had to say no, but God knew. This June there will be a trip to a retreat center in Italy (!!) that I will not be attending, because I knew God&#39;s answer was no. I look forward to finding out the reason... May we all be sensitive to God&#39;s prompting, even when there are no reasons &quot;on paper&quot;.WSD Editorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15389016934999570255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480476960982603041.post-8047001447622360202009-09-23T03:28:46.028-07:002009-09-23T03:28:46.028-07:00I chanced upon to view your blog and found it very interesting.

The best way to use affirmations is to read them in the morning and in the evening - every day.<BR/><BR/>As we change our current image to the new vision what happens is truly amazing. We grow more and more uncomfortable with the current image and start to reject it. The end result, we achieve the goal, new vision, and reap great reward.Tammy Redmonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12576915194826959637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480476960982603041.post-14766210664909218612009-04-08T12:13:00.000-07:002009-04-08T12:13:00.000-07:00What a powerful Affirmation!

They were really cool with both funny, motivational, inspirational and self help quotes....and things about love and friendship too. I got a bunch of them and<BR/>I gave a lot of them to my friends and co-workers for christmas, they loved them:)<BR/>here is the site:<BR/>http://www.motivationalrefrigeratormagnets.com/<BR/>Anyway, great idea!
