Number 4 really spoke to me because He has had to 'prune' me more than once over that issue. I think I've finally got it and my life has been so much better. So thankful He loves us enough to keep on pruning!!

These are areas where I know God is working with me-anxiety, trying to control everything and being unhappy that God is not "fixing everything" the way that I want it! It's painful but necessary pruning in my life.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314254638454546970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033320547792994210.post-26353081775332496922020-04-16T10:21:54.585-04:002020-04-16T10:21:54.585-04:00Oh, no, thank you for pointing out that we're ...Oh, no, thank you for pointing out that we're all different, but still ALL in need of our Savior - and that we need each other. I know He made each of us with our own unique personalities for a reason! I feel more like myself than I have in quite some time, since I've starting sharing my heart again!

Thank you for being open and honest and sharing these things with us, as it may be just what others are needing just as much as you. For myself, I know that I am not really a "people pleaser" kind of person. Sometimes I wish I were more that kind because it might make me more sensitive to the needs of others around me. Sometimes, people like me, tend to think we can handle things just fine by ourselves and that we don't really need other people so much. That can be just as bad as being a people pleaser, because we get too focused on doing it "my way", and sometimes we miss the blessing that God has for us by allowing others to do things for us and with us and also doing things for others. My self-reliance also can make me not rely on God as much as I should and think I can handle it without His help. He has proven to me over and over again, however, that I cannot do that. Without Him, I would be unable to cope with the things that "life" throws at me. So, there needs to be a balance between these two extremes. Together, we can help each other meet somewhere in the middle, with God in control and right there by our sides. Thank you for stirring up these thoughts today. You are a blessing to me.Pamela M.
