I also became much more teachable. That is the part I love about the 30's. I don't have much left to prove. I just want to learn...and I'm STILL in my 30's. God has made a lot of progress. We all need him so much!idahogiffordsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108194060749821039.post-49045611906440881732011-07-12T12:19:38.346-07:002011-07-12T12:19:38.346-07:00Bless your heart.

But in the midst of the storm, when times are at their darkest and my heart is about to explode from the anger I try to keep within, I simply stop, look around, and quote Psalm 46:10 - "Be stil and know that I am God..." Such a simple little statement with such a profound meaning. It does calm me faster than anything and makes me realize that EVERYTHING I am, I owe to Him, for even in anger He still loves me. I pray that your next decade will be calmer. Will it be smooth sailing? I'm sure it won't because life happens no matter what. Just remember when in the midst of any crisis to "Be still and know that HE IS GOD."Mamawsplacehttp://www.mamawsplace4.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
