Judy,

Loved your post and agree with all you say. The thing is that it seems so opposite of what I thought I learned. I thought key to living the Christian life is to try and strive and perform. I looked for formulas and 5 steps to this and 6 steps for that. Yet, over the last 6 1/2 years, I have learned that Christian living involves rest and receiving from Him and depending totally on God. I am learning to rest in Him rather than striving myself and things I do just happen. I have more to say, but no time right now. I would like to hear from others and then join back later this week.
