What is one thing you were convicted about when you were younger, but now being older and wiser you have changed your mind on that belief? Why? Or on the other side, what is one thing you may have not held a conviction on that you now do? Why?
I was raised in a very very conservative church. I was convicted at an early age that religion was primarily about the laws that were found in the bible. I always felt like I didn’t quite measure up and rarely felt the presence of God. I was in church a minimum of three time per week. Every week.
As I got a little older I questioned some of those rules or beliefs and was told why and accepted it. Until Izzy’s accident. I read the bible with new eyes and saw that there was much more to it than the laws. The laws are important and I feel like God wants me to be an obedient daughter… but God is with us. Here.

I am a bedmaker also, and now my husband who wasn’t loves getting into a nicely made bed.

Who do you think had the harder time of it? The bed makers of course, which I’m sure you can understand!
Be blessed!

I’m a bed maker, too. Never feel quite right until it is made.
I’m so glad you feel God’s guidance and presence.

My relationship with God hadn’t grown much until this year. Now I desire to spend time with Him, serving Him, and doing His will. But I still don’t really feel His presence. Maybe as I grow more, I’ll understand the presence of the Lord.
By the way, I don’t make my bed. My room is upstairs and the only time that I go into it is for sleeping. That’s my excuse.
