During that time, we can talk on the blog about what we want to study next. I, too, appreciate the accountability that comes with doing the study with other people. All of you have certainly helped to keep me on track.

During prayer time I believe alot of us are so busy talking, we don't get STILL long enough for God to speak back, and I believe in those still, quiet times, that is when God God speaks back to us and shows us what we need to do. So once that type of fellowship is established first thing in the morning, the Holy Spirit can guide you throughout the day and things that may have caught you off guard, you'll now be more in control. I am a friend of God. And it's the best feeling in the world, isn't it? Angela, I'm truly enjoying taking this journey with you. I'm a few days behind, but nevertheless I know more about my Father now than ever. Thank you for recommending this Bible. I've actually been thinking about one of my favorite characters in the Bible--Joseph and I was thinking about doing a study on him after I finish reading the Bible in 90 days, but I didn't know of any good books about Joseph. Well, I went to Joyce Meyer's Conference last night (I LOVE HER!!!!) and low and behold, there was a book about Joseph on her media table!! It's called God Meant It For Good! Angela, let me know what you decide to study and I may take a second journey with you! :) I think it holds us more accountable when we partner together in these readings.

John 15:14, the verse right before the one above, says: "You are my friends if you obey me." And, yes, it's a complicated relationship because of all the roles God plays in our lives. You're also right about these feelings that we get. I get them, too. Sometimes i don't realize it until after the event though. Sigrun, you are so right.

I really enjoy seeing what you've learned again during the week. I look forward to your insights, to what God is especially showing you. I guess I haven't been closely listening to God in the last little while. Otherwise I would have been more prepared for what happened lately. On the other hand, my sister has also said that she doesn't know him any more. One the one hand, I did feel that there was something not quite right, on the other, I just did not expect the magnitude of it. I guess we must be God's servants who are also friends. We are to serve Him. Are we to obey Him blindly because He wants us to trust Him utterly? Or does He always give us a hint of why we are to do something or what the consequences are if we don't? The ultimate consequences we do know, but what about the immediate ones? As I see it at this moment, we are to be: His children His friends His servants part of Christ's body His messengers the salt of the earth a light in the darkness What else? It's a very complicated relationship, isn't it? Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us again. I really enjoy seeing what you’ve learned again during the week.
