I realized tho that people pleasing in a sense has been an idol to me. Didn't really realize it til tonight.<br /><br />Thanks for hosting another good book!

My thoughs on the not being fullfilled makes me think about eating. How we eat and eat till we can't even breathe but there we are just a few hours later hungry again.vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069818864143680698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-18251301899250132622009-10-15T10:43:01.901-05:002009-10-15T10:43:01.901-05:00Don't ask me why but your comment of "fol...Don't ask me why but your comment of "follow Him around up above" made me chuckle. I invisioned you (or any of us) following Him around on the back of His heels. Wouldn't we though? Aahhmmmm<br /><br />I followed Lysa's lead and posted about my own "if only" list and also replaced each one with scripture. A little vulnerable and putting myself out there but I did it anyway. <br /><br />I so know what you mean about purchases. It seems I get such a high out of purchases. Maybe because I don't spend excessively or all the time. I just got a new purse (from Walmart...RED, barn red!) and I walk around just loving it. Or when I got a new phone, I want to continually make calls or texts. I think it's about the change or the new thing. Because even hanging a picture (that I already had) on a wall that I pass often, I find myself looking at it and still enjoying it three weeks later. So, it's a chase for me but maybe just a chase for the new even if it's not a new purchase per say. <br /><br />I've noticed this temporary fulfilling feeling ever since beloved left two years ago. I think it's my heart longing to be filled, filling that hole beloved left. I know I should fill it all with God but it's like God has His place and now I need to fill beloved's spot with either beloved or stuff/change/new/excitement.<br /><br />Reading that last quote makes me think I should have used the title: Hollow to Holy but I used Hollow to Whole...showing that He is the one to fill our hollow and make us whole. <br /><br />I bet that quote from Mark Batterson is from one of his books. We did both in church (topics of the sermons): Lion and Goose books. <br /><br />Love ya,<br />PaulaPaula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-23609099023814667312009-10-15T10:01:59.637-05:002009-10-15T10:01:59.637-05:00Hope you two feel better soon.

Years ago, I had the problems of wanting others or things to "fill me up." For the past few years I've been focusing on my relationship with God so I am much more secure in who I am as a Christian, wife, mother and friend.<br /><br />Part of my journey was working at a church for over 5 years. I ended up leaving that job because of people behaving badly and suffering in my faith. (I did not attend church where I worked.) So I haven't worked since 2008 and after this time of healing, I am once again looking for employment. I won't work at a church again and am grateful that I do not define myself by whatever job I find in the future.<br /><br />I thank God for His love and healing of my bitterness and I also thank my husband for his love and support during this time of our lives. (Hey! 27 years of marriage and hub is almost perfect! Ha!)<br /><br />See you next week!<br /><br />Cindy in PAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-40123825876363277512009-10-14T23:26:53.248-05:002009-10-14T23:26:53.248-05:00Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day to in...Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day to invite me over to talk about Lysa's book!

Chapter 1 just blew me away. I knew it was going to be profound based on the post from last week and the comments that were made. It is definately something I need to re-read before I move on to Chapter 2...proabably a few times. Thank You for hosting this study...can't wait to dig deeper! I hope you and your family gets better soon!<br />CrystieCrystiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14783462249174892632noreply@blogger.com
