I know that it definitely is not a one time occurence...it takes work and committment and self discovery without a doubt.Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828798619814725137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654865462543775620.post-56920188850046179632009-04-15T13:32:00.000-04:002009-04-15T13:32:00.000-04:00Thank you for your comment, Mary!

And your question: do we believe in all that is seen and unseen? I think this will be the subject of my next post...Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846547501253855220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654865462543775620.post-27308191155443776592009-04-14T23:19:00.000-04:002009-04-14T23:19:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846547501253855220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654865462543775620.post-91672754598220148582009-04-14T17:46:00.000-04:002009-04-14T17:46:00.000-04:00I only ask, is the (Me) God intended me to be, to ...I only ask, is the (Me) God intended me to be, to be fully human or, by living in His will, and with an open mind, do we transcend this human self by striving to live not in flesh but more and more in spirit? Can we accept that this is a radical change in thinking and in living? This Metanoia demands a spirit of acceptance for the idea of brotherly love and being one in the spirit.One with God, one with each other and do we believe in all that is seen and unseen? The power of Gods spirit lives! In us. Allow!

It reminds me of when I went to my recent confession, did my penance, and went home only to commit the same sin. Change is difficult. This "change" requires our complete awareness of the entire process. We must make more than a conscious effort to make a change, we must think about how we think about this change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
