		<description><![CDATA[TJ - we can all only take one &#039;step&#039; (hop, skip, jump?) at a time and so ideally make our progress and path through life.

i prefer to look at it as His wisdom more than &#039;courage&#039; - but it does indeed take courage to look carefully, critically and conscientiously at what it is inside of us that makes us &#039;do&#039; what we do.

at first we take &#039;baby&#039; steps and then growing in confidence we may take larger ones - hopefully, as we &#039;grow&#039; we learn to do so through Him and not through &#039;me&#039;, first.

		<description><![CDATA[&#039;Until then, I’m only going to tell me what to do.&#039;

Something you may like to spend some time &#039;considering&#039; is just EXACTLY what &#039;part&#039; of you is doing the &#039;telling&#039;...?

i mean, is it a human &#039;wise&#039; part of you? a human &#039;bossy&#039; part of you? a scared part? a hurt part? All parts combining equally to achieve a &#039;consensus&#039; and balanced opinion?

Or is it maybe a deeper, purely spiritual part? Does your wisdom of what to &#039;do&#039; come from you - or from Him? or is it a &#039;combined&#039; effort?? :-)

or is it sometimes more of you and your past and at other times Him and His?

is there anything You can do (are doing?) to ensure there is &#039;less of you and more of Him&#039; doing the &#039;telling&#039;?

i would hope that all of us consider these things.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been thinking a lot about talking more with &amp; asking advice of those in my parents&#039; generation &amp; older. They usually have much to offer, yet are just as often forgotten about or not asked. My dad is one that doesn&#039;t offer words of wisdom unless he&#039;s asked, which I respect. I want to become more like that - &amp; not talk so much. Didn&#039;t someone once say that even a fool is thought to be wise when his mouth is shut?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Self-realization is fun isn&#039;t it?  While I can&#039;t offer any solutions, as I am quite the messed up one too, I can tell ya, you have support and people looking out....NO, people looking UP for you.
I may not get a chance to put it in words daily on this blog, but I pray for you and appreciate all who you inspire with this corner of the world that is yours.]]></description>
