I don't know about you guys but as I've shared with people what I learned and what I see God leading me towards I end up feeling like I look like...well...this. They raise an eyebrow once I'm done "spealing" (a highly scientific word which means: to regurgitate information on some unwittting victim who happens to be in proximity to your voice). They give me quisical look (this look is perfected by Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice).
But I can see that I do indeed look different than I did 3 months ago. That means forward progress...I am so grateful that God is doing that. But how to spur others on towards this same abandon is troubling to me. I realize it isn't me...but I still cannot stand the thought of my brothers and sisters camping in the wilderness. You know what I mean...I guess it comes back once more to this..........................................................

Ben, you never fail to make me laugh. Wow. I had to recover from that one... but so very true.
Gosh yes.
(aside: you've watched Pride & Prejudice? 5 brownie points. An additional 5 points for it being the Colin Firth version. *wink* Way to go!)
I'm glad someone else is spieling a lot.
I have the exact same feeling at moments too! But, at least if people (of this world) are looking at us like we're crazy, we can know that what we are saying must not be from this world. (aka HEAVEN! :-) )
