anything - week 4

God is really messing with me in this book.....we are at the half way point in our study this week...

chapter 8

crashing curtains

waking up

I was still limiting God by my understanding of how life should work - safe and comfy and not so costly. (p. 76)

I had a constant, nagging feeling that God was real and this life wasn't a game; it wasn't about my comfort or my curtains or how much everyone liked me and approved of me. Heaven was coming, God's voice was clear, and I needed to quit pretending everything was lovely. (p. 81)

chapter 9

new eyes

real change

...surrender is usually dying to self on a daily basis and most often found in the mundane. Lunches had to be made, conflict with some friends had to be resolved, and toilets still needed scrubbing. (p. 86)

chapter 10

big God

praying anything

I wanted to be right with God at the end of my life rather than right with all of the people in it. ( p. 92)
