Reading a great book and wanted to share an excerpt:

"Like a sapling that bends and gets muddy during a storm, a person who is merely sorry to be soiled by sin will sin again in the next high wind. The susceptibility to repetition will continue until the sapling becomes a tree - a person so strengthened he no longer bends."
Brad Wilcox in the Continuous Atonement.

I love getting "older" and having things like this really "sink" in! I get it when not long ago, I did not. I was "unconscious" on a few levels but am grateful for the growth and learning that being here in a family provides me. I have so far to go! But feel good when each day I can honestly turn my will over to His and see where He leads me! Life is good!
