But like Paul in his journeys, it's good to have a Barnabas or Silas with you on the road, too. As iron sharpens iron ~ sometimes clarity of God's voice is best heard through the discernment and encouragement of others. Thanks for offering that! Blessings!Tobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13289771202918266956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594631675171552133.post-68704024824027017892011-11-01T23:29:28.034-04:002011-11-01T23:29:28.034-04:00Hi Tobi, Its Lisa Freeman from Texas. You know m...Hi Tobi, Its Lisa Freeman from Texas. You know me from Mont Belvieu and your mom. I have been in those same places. God does not even have to move me across the globe. But I do know what you are talking about. My husband Ken and I live in League City near NASA. We started going to a church in 2000 that was huge in Clear Lake. Ken was connected with the band. I just could not get connected. I was the caretaker of a sick mom. I cried almost every Sunday morning. I had faith, but I did not have that group of people I thought I needed. Life has changed. My mother past away in 05 and in 06 we joined a group of people in a start up church. At this church I am different from the old days. In my home based Bible Study we were studying Paul. Why did Paul leave for Arabia after his Conversion? It came to me...Just like Jesus, Paul had to be alone with God. He needed to hear from God. He did not need to hear from man. So many times we pray to God only to turn around and talk to a friend for advise. When we are in the desert, we hear Gods voice. No one else is around to cloud up his voice. Lean on God Listen to God. I now focus myself on listening to God. I have several ways of doing it. But it is my focus now to not rely on the group of friends for support. Although it is hard, for I now have that group that is very supportive of me.
