thoughts from others... :)

One day I pray to be wise like these women!!

No matter how efficient, smart, or independent we happen to think ourselves to be, sooner or later we run into a "brick wall" that our intelligence or experience cannot handle for us. We can fake it, avoid it, or blunder through it. But a better solution would be to find someone who has walked that way before and has gained wisdom from experience. - Gloria Gaither

All of us need to be surrounded by people who are invited to hold us accountable and who question the questionable. - Beth Moore

Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering. The love of God did not protect His own Son. He will not necessarily protect us - not from anything it takes to make us like His Son. A lot of hammering and chiseling and purifying by fire will have to go into the process. - Elisabeth Elliot

(and lastly, the only one who trumps Elisabeth Elliot in my world...)

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. -God (in Proverbs 27:17)
(right, Mel? ;))
