Luke 14:26 When we are going all in we need to have a "whatever it takes" mentality! We need to be a complete follower of Jesus, a christian, Christ like.  Not a fan of what's happening, or of what the the Lord is doing. Hard to swallow but definitely resonating with my soul.  I'm much rather be a completely committed follower than just a fan!  My love for Jesus needs to be by far greater  than my love for family, friends, spouse etc… Luke 14:26

We need to be a complete follower of Jesus, a christian, Christ like.  Not a fan of what’s happening, or of what the the Lord is doing.

Hard to swallow but definitely resonating with my soul.  I’m much rather be a completely committed follower than just a fan!

There are SEVERAL things that have happened in my life that I feel have been carried down from generation to generation. One being that my grandmother, mother, and myself have all had eating disorders touch our lives in some way or fashion. I went through this time in my life over 14 years ago. I knew of my mothers battle with an eating disorder in her early twenties, as she shared it with me during this time. Only a few years ago did I find out my grandmothers battle with an eating disorder as well. I think it is no coinsidence that this has been passed down from generation to generation. I have worked and continue to work very hard to not pass this down to my two girls. On my phone I have always had the verse "Above all else guard your heart, for it affects everything you do." Proverbs 4:23 I am reminded every day to protect my heart by staying in God's word and having an ongoing relationship with the Lord. It is the only way!

]]> Comment on Proximity..the low-maintenance friendship..the easy way out? by Andrea Hayes http://www.treybailey.net/2012/01/proximity-the-low-maintenance-friendship-the-easy-way-out/comment-page-1/#comment-2277 Andrea Hayes Sat, 28 Jan 2012 12:49:00 +0000 http://www.treybailey.net/?p=2735#comment-2277 The friendship between David and Jonathon went well beyond a close friendship. It's what Anne of Green Gables describes as a "kindred spirit." someone who just "gets you" to the core without little effort. Someone who loves you on your worst days. If we are lucky enough to find 1 or 2 people like that on a lifetime, then we are truly blessed. I have had 2 or 3 women in my life where our friendship went beyond the boundaries of life circumstances, proximity and time. They are everlasting and maintain the deepest level of honesty and trust. It seems strange to just call those relationships "friendships" in my vocabulary. I'll stick with kindred spirits instead.
