I can't wait until Wednesday when I can turn the reigns back over to someone else.Lauryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10265391082131639139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35674839.post-14870928257408266222011-10-16T02:13:45.946-05:002011-10-16T02:13:45.946-05:00LOVE this post!

I bemused how it seemed God continued to stretch me beyond my comfort zone. He'll give me a new task, or expand my boundary lines in some way, causing me to learn or try something new, then just when I begin to get comfortable with the new task, WHAM! The boundary lines, and thus me, stretch yet again. This fall I received extensive feedback from two very prestigious and brilliant sources, requiring some major learning, and at first, I was overwhelmed. <br /><br />But then, as I reviewed the details again, I realized what a tremendous learning opportunity! And I was blown away by His grace! As a coach's daughter, I realize if we're not growing, we're probably slipping in the other direction. And how awesome that the Creator of the universe takes the time to grow us! That, to me, is mind-blowing!Jennifer Slatteryhttp://jenniferslatterylivesoutloud.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35674839.post-78957311420855120372011-10-14T10:45:09.489-05:002011-10-14T10:45:09.489-05:00Love this!

I have stuck my fingers in my ears and sang, "Lallaalala" but it was no use :) If I plug my ears, He uses someone to write something to confirm it :) LOL It's both thrilling and scary to do what God calls us to but it's worth it!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Mel<br />Please feel free to stop by: <a href="http://melindatodd.com" rel="nofollow">Trailing After God</a>Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410114935534301370noreply@blogger.com
