Pride is especially an enemy we should, every one, stalk out in our lives, never tiring until we've found it and choked it mercilessly until dead. <BR/><BR/>Grace.

It's nice to be in a more direct line of communication. I had emailed Harriette that it's funny to me that God can use my blowing off some steam to encourage others.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment, especially for your words of encouragement to rest in Him.<BR/><BR/>KerriKerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925017846814491071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109807646089293916.post-44132855397703233662008-02-02T12:25:00.000-06:002008-02-02T12:25:00.000-06:00Kerri,SelahV sent me your way and I thank her for ...Kerri,<BR/><BR/>SelahV sent me your way and I thank her for doing so. I hope you plan to keep your blog going when you are in Brazil if you will be writing stuff like this. I too get discouraged about the state of affairs in the Christian community. I wrestle with God all the time over His command to love my brethren who behave in such an unloving manner far too often. He always wins but the process grows me and teaches me, I just happen to be a slow learner at times!<BR/><BR/>Praise God for the work He is doing in you and how He has worked things out for you to take His message to another culture. May you always rest in Him, especially as He molds you even more between now and your departure, and again while you are there. I get the feeling you are well aware of the challenges ahead and the blessing it is to be His servant.<BR/><BR/>God Bless,<BR/>TrishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109807646089293916.post-64903161549523863652008-02-02T10:49:00.000-06:002008-02-02T10:49:00.000-06:00Kerri, my goodness, girl.

I should look it up, but I'm lazy. It's Saturday, after all.<BR/><BR/>Powerful post. selahVselahVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227069655126197193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109807646089293916.post-26412026976327649462008-02-01T17:03:00.000-06:002008-02-01T17:03:00.000-06:00Laura,Thanks for your comment. I posted this and ...Laura,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment. I posted this and thought . . . who is possibly going to benefit from this? It's really just me ranting on thru means of a keyboard. Perhaps with our impending departure from the states I'm disconnecting from the culture of the U.S. more and more, and as I do I'm struck by the depravity of it. (With that said, I'm often struck by my own depravity as well.)<BR/><BR/>I had thought after posting this last night that I definitely need to lighten up.<BR/><BR/>Don't let yourself be frustrated about a comment you didn't get posted. If you saw my "edit posts" page you'd get a kick out of all the unposted, unfinished stuff - - many with just a title, some with a few thoughts, and most abandoned forever.<BR/><BR/>Laura, I'm privileged and blessed that you are my friend. It was cool that we passed on the road today. It was a reminder to me to pray for you and for Gabriel's visit.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925017846814491071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109807646089293916.post-29020922704597049832008-02-01T14:00:00.000-06:002008-02-01T14:00:00.000-06:00Kerri -Your writing is excellent and always penetr...Kerri -<BR/><BR/>Your writing is excellent and always penetrates me in a deep way. Thank you for going public and reaching more than you realize. It is a privilege to know you and call you friend.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Laura<BR/><BR/>P.S. I tried to post something profound (ha ha) on one of your earlier posts about your trip in March. I was unsuccessful and simply cannot remember what was my intent. Isn't that frustrating?
