It's almost like this whole underground movement that's happening through you and some others out there. It's exciting- even though numbers may be small, momentum seems to be building.

We touched a lot on the things you are writing about here and it was a very humbling conversation to say the least. Self protection and pride are not of the Kingdom and God but sometimes it's hard to see when you are acting out of those mindsets. I find I continually need to seek repentance in these areas in order to pursue the cross. Thanks for sharing your heart on this and articulating our mission as children of the King.Mel Emerynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368045329850017937.post-52228672765534396542012-08-08T00:02:43.941-04:002012-08-08T00:02:43.941-04:00Rachel!!

I am very challenged by your post and will be mulling this over for awhile. Thanks for sharing. Love the new look of the blog. Also I read it pretty regularly and really enjoy the way you put your thoughts together:)Rachael Auyernoreply@blogger.com
