It’s an opportunity that I couldn’t have imagined just a few short years ago. I am grateful that the Lord can redeem technology for his purposes; He can definitely communicate through any and all ways that he chooses!Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-18036720400718045662011-08-05T02:29:23.103-05:002011-08-05T02:29:23.103-05:00Hi Lisa. :-) I think blogging is one good way to s...Hi Lisa. :-) I think blogging is one good way to share what we know about God to like-minded people, and most especially to those who do not know Him. Just like what you did in this post. :-)<br /><br />I hope the little girl would learn to have her own way of communicating.<br /><br />Take care and God bless. :-)<br /><br />IreneIrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328342211129410370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-33477929771757603362011-08-04T14:44:26.770-05:002011-08-04T14:44:26.770-05:00Jen,

And for pointing out that we don’t take this on alone. That’s a huge thing I need to remember because otherwise, my own insecurities about what I have to say or how I say it can be enough hindrances to prevent me from doing it. I’m thankful he asks us to break out of our silence and promises to be with us in our words.Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-21002056696998937402011-08-04T14:35:30.031-05:002011-08-04T14:35:30.031-05:00This makes me think of "even the rocks cry ou...This makes me think of "even the rocks cry out." God has given us such an amazing tool, one that we are not asked to take on by ourselves, but one that when combined with His spirit, completely has the power to change lives.

I’ve finally decided that whether or not want to hear it, or whether or not they listen, *I* still need to say it. For me. To God. And that’s enough. <br /><br />So I pray we both stay away from silence and lies and do what we’re made to do!

One thing that I absolutely love about the Scriptures being Spirit-breathed is that they continue to speak to us in new ways each time we read them. The eternal truths never change, but the Lord allows us to receive more meanings and nuances the deeper we grow in relationship with him. <br /><br />I hope I never grow too prideful to learn new things each time I read through!Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-25137950511808253432011-08-03T20:03:52.235-05:002011-08-03T20:03:52.235-05:00Debra,

I would love to have seen that: not letting anything stop you from praising our God! <br /><br />As I was coming home from church tonight, I had some great praise music on and I HAD to move my hands (with one hand on the steering wheel at all times, of course) but I wondered what the cars beside me were thinking. I hope they realized I was praising God, not just being a crazy woman! :-)Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-82145919957420412002011-08-03T19:32:01.816-05:002011-08-03T19:32:01.816-05:00Wonderful post Lisa!

I spoke with my hands. It turned out to be preparation for the time when, years later, I’d lose my voice. After my mother died I couldn’t speak at all. But I could still praise with my hands. Glorifying God with heart, soul, and body. Nothing could stop me, not even being mute. <br />Blessings,<br />~ Debra<br /><br />http://debrasblogpureandsimple.blogspot.comDebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-66478496186287346442011-08-03T13:20:20.988-05:002011-08-03T13:20:20.988-05:00Praying for you now, Heather.
