I, too, am a grateful witness of God's wondrous work of grace in your life. I marvel at how you are able to lay yourself aside and enter into the pain and joys of others in the face of your own difficulty. It rejoices me greatly that my reflection on what I consider a far lighter difficulty could edify and strengthen you! A sign of graciousness and humility as well as victory. I know Whose mark is on you. ;)<br /><br />And E! -- Guess what? Despite what I messaged you about, I left home without makeup last Sunday. :) It was not a shame-free experience but the Lord made Himself distinctly near to me when my fears came true. It has gotten easier since. He is so kind, comforting me in something so small.Jean Tsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04712548228513150805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815456190656965995.post-40728055054764607402013-10-01T23:20:35.177-07:002013-10-01T23:20:35.177-07:00Dear Jean,
I have been trying to figure out how ...Dear Jean, <br /><br />I have been trying to figure out how to respond to this post because I appreciated it on so many levels that I'm concerned that I won't articulate that appreciation adequately. But anyway. :) I am so thankful to get to see how God leads you to be courageous in the face of difficulty. I am thankful for how you looked beyond yourself and posted this (publicly!) so that Christ might be seen and so that His name would be placed high on the banner in your life. Thank you for sharing, and for the beautiful reminder that nothing goes to waste in His hands. What a strengthening truth!! :)Sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815456190656965995.post-82106749319131584752013-09-27T12:12:10.481-07:002013-09-27T12:12:10.481-07:00thanks for sharing this, Jean. for being unashamed...thanks for sharing this, Jean. for being unashamed.E!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09424234314320958150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815456190656965995.post-73745263752900078032013-09-25T22:01:06.117-07:002013-09-25T22:01:06.117-07:00Correction: I may be a woman of great courage in *...Correction: I may be a woman of great courage in *some* things but not all things, like mice and house centipedes. And the courage I do have in the few things did not come naturally either but is owing to God's very patient work in my life. But thank you... :DJean Tsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04712548228513150805noreply@blogger.com
