Hey Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the reading last night. I had forgotten this was the section about Job, and as we read on, I could feel my excitement as we got closer to the parts where God explains what he was doing with Satan. As we were sitting there reading and enjoying what we had been shown, I could feel, for a very long time, a sensation of chills running over me. I had the thought, ‘Oh, I’m getting a little chilly’. But as we sat there and read and enjoyed it, I realized that it was the spirit of God running very faintly all over my body, and for quite a long time. It felt soo good. Even still after I got home, I kept replaying what we had read and heard and felt last night. It was a very good thought to me, when you said that as long as we think we have any bit of control of a situation, then we are not fully trusting in the Lord, and that we have not fully given it to Him. (I think that is how you said it) It is the human nature to “keep things under control” in our own realm of life, and where we have control of daily, even hourly and minutely, situations. But truly letting Jesus guide our life is always seeking His will. We really don’t know anything without Him. We don’t know how to be a good wife or husband, sister or brother, or anything else without Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last night really was good to my soul!<\/span><\/p>\n

p.s… Cliff and I won’t be there Wednesday night. He is in Hickory all this week for school, and I am going up on Tuesday night and spending the rest of the week with him.<\/span>
\n Aww…I hate that. Last night was so good!<\/span>
\n ==========<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks, Julie. Rob and I were talking today about how the feelings from this weekend followed us home and have continued. So you were not the only one feeling that way!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Concerning the point I was making, as long as we think we have something to add to God, any advice or wisdom concerning any particular situation, we really haven’t fully realized that we know nothing without His help. He really is our only hope – BUT He is enough! He loves us, and He is enough.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Hope you and Cliff have a wonderful week together. Thanks for writing.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
