Of course, we need to identify weaknesses and seek to grow and become, but the attendant condemnation of judgment is something we should not do. It's just so darn natural! <br /><br />2) Our RS President writes a wonderful blog (click on Patty in the comments on Papa Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704974609266088416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199387660357003170.post-81622454177711679412009-05-31T23:53:13.038-04:002009-05-31T23:53:13.038-04:00It is so uplifting to read things like this.

I wish you the best in the process.<br /><br />RE not judging, I've had an interesting experience recently... blogged about it, actually. I've gone back through my journals from when I was a teenager and I have a hard time not judging my teenage self pretty harshly. I'd be interested in a discussion about something like that :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466860937596192472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199387660357003170.post-81156125747354509492009-05-31T11:43:14.922-04:002009-05-31T11:43:14.922-04:00I was so happy and pleasantly surprised when Miche...I was so happy and pleasantly surprised when Michelle told me about the house. I've watched several families over the past couple of years have such miraculous and amazing blessings presented to them in the midst of what would seem to be confusing or almost impossible situations. It's a real testimony to me of how Heavenly Father not only knows us but really wants to give us what we will enjoy.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01088835513981961640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199387660357003170.post-77222812780510715022009-05-31T02:00:23.658-04:002009-05-31T02:00:23.658-04:00Re: Recognizing God's hand after the fact.

I almost wrote it differently, so I hope it was inspired just for you. Anything for Mama's oldest daughter. *grin* <br /><br />SimplyMe, I recognize most of the more powerful moments in hindsight - which I think is a fascinating reason to "endure to the end". It's cool when I can see His hand in the moment, but sometimes it's even coolerPapa Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704974609266088416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199387660357003170.post-75936245741584637442009-05-30T02:38:20.513-04:002009-05-30T02:38:20.513-04:00I understand completely, although I don't remember...I understand completely, although I don't remember seeing God's "hand" in many of my decisions. I'd like to be able to identify God's involvement the way that you explained. I try to involve God in prayer and in trying to identify the spiritual promptings but I've always struggled with making decisions.

I can see that is my life also. Thanks for this post, it comes at a time when we are considering taking a drop in salary to take a job where we feel we need to go.
