Here is a quote from the movie's trailer: “Life can only be understood looking backward. It must be lived forward.” <br /><br />Yesterday, we learn in class (from a substitute of Ray Hollenbach). That we have burdens that are like stones pull us back from giving all we have to God. Burdens like hatred, anger, and of course worry. <br /><br />It is not easy to realize that we have been keeping ourselves away from God but yet we claim that He walked away from us. It is truly a shame that we did and say bad things about our Father when He is our Father! <br /><br />It is also often a OK thing for us today to put things on hold. We are so used to pushing the pause button that we dare to put God on hold. This article truly is a reminder to me!

The ...I love this post and can really relate to it.<br />The final lines were spot on. There is such a fine line between responsibility and seeking first God's Kingdom, but then again, it's clear that the Kingdom must come first on our to do lists, our desires, and in every other way. It's easy to repeat that truth, but a bit harder to actually do it!ed cyzewskihttp://www.inamirrordimly.comnoreply@blogger.com
