The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.<br /><br />This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the<br />toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.<br /><br />I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a<br />dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't<br />believe that anymore.<br /><br />Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of<br />like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have<br />something good and something bad in your life.<br /><br />No matter how good things are in your life, there is always<br />something bad that needs to be worked on.<br /><br />And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always<br />something good you can thank God for.<br /><br />You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your<br />problems.<br /><br />If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness,<br />'which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one of the easiest<br />ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto<br />God and others.<br /><br />We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of<br />thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it<br />easy for her.<br /><br />It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her<br />character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her<br />a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.<br /><br />You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life."<br /><br />-Rick Warren</span></span></pre><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5499703828496740688-1331912603579284725?l=ohhshibby.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05115291991656775306noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499703828496740688.post-16985319101304839772007-07-18T03:06:00.001-07:002008-12-09T17:39:37.765-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_igO8W3mMHEo/Rp3qfA7pjRI/AAAAAAAAAA8/WnaNfLDz060/s1600-h/plain-large.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_igO8W3mMHEo/Rp3qfA7pjRI/AAAAAAAAAA8/WnaNfLDz060/s320/plain-large.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088480972545559826" border="0" /></a><br /><br />At some point in my life, I plan to own a cupcake shop.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5499703828496740688-1698531910130483977?l=ohhshibby.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05115291991656775306noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499703828496740688.post-1561950005579650012007-07-18T02:37:00.000-07:002007-07-18T04:13:10.739-07:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">shibby</span><br />-<span style="font-style: italic;">verb<br /></span><ol><li>possessing an immense need to relieve oneself of excess human waste: <span style="font-style: italic;">I gotta take a shibby.</span></li></ol>-<span style="font-style: italic;">noun<br /></span><ol><li>uttered under a stressed or disappointed state of mind: <span style="font-style: italic;">what the shibby?! </span></li><li>used as a replacement for any dull or lifeless word to add extra emphasis: <span style="font-style: italic;">shibby shibby gumdrops!</span><br /></li></ol><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5499703828496740688-156195000557965001?l=ohhshibby.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05115291991656775306noreply@blogger.com0
