And smile with you at the thought of Jack Bauer... But I REJOICE with you when thinking of the true Prince of Peace, and I long for his return. <br><br>Thinking on that, I wonder if I prioritized my week in such a way as to glorify him and shine his light into the darkness around me? It has been a busy week, and some of that busy-ness has gotten in the way. How much of what I did this week could have been put aside in order to focus more on Him. I think I lacked some of the PEACE that should reflect who He is to me. I am praying personally for more gentleness to go along with my passion for truth. I think I will add to that more of His Peace. Not only for myself, but for many of my wonderful new friends at Harvest! I think that should be a challenge to all of us. To live in such a way as to be at Peace in Him, and to reflect His peace to those we touch all week long. Let it begin with me, at home, and at church, in the grocery store, the library, at the horse barn with the kids and their friends, on the road as I'm driving, well.....you get the point. A very special verse to me is Is. 26:3, "You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you." WOW! It is a promise, but catch the condition... For me that means getting up earlier than everyone else in the house. Getting into the Word before the busy-ness of life begins. And when I do, what peace! Maybe not around me, but definitely IN me. <br><br>I can't wait for next weekend! I love anything by Elyse Fitzpatrick. And am really looking forward to getting to know Harvest ladies better.<br><br>See you there!<br><br>LaurieLaurie Beltran del Riohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04307615243343073875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366560811035597565.post-51550179037405593742009-10-16T21:01:53.350-04:002009-10-16T21:01:53.350-04:00Again Laurie - a beautiful testimony!
