This reminds me of when one of our little granddaughters was around
four or five years old. She was asking her daddy (a pastor) why this and
why that. He carefully explained that was because Daddy was a male and
Mommy was a female. She told him that if he was a male and mommy
was a female then "Daddy, that would make me an e-mail".

We both love very similar food.
We both love animals.
We both cannot handle more then 5 minutes with children!
When looking through THREE thick books of house plans, we both picked the EXACT same one as our favorite! -granted this was when we were planning on staying in WI and building.
Speaking of.... .We're both looking forward to moving to Arizona!
Our "Dads" are a lot alike!
We both have 'virtually' the same spiritual believes and convictions. (Not exact but very very close!)
We both love hiking and rock climbing!

How are we different?
She is two inches taller!
She is just a tiny TINY bit smarter then me. At least that blasted exam said so..... IF you trust that sort of thing....
She likes dogs that are on the smaller side -I like bigger ones. (Which is why we 'settled' on a Border Collie, although we are currently getting a 2nd smaller dog through a rescue.)
I like national attention -trying to get on an episode of a popular home buying show on HGTV. She can't stand it.

He looks like 90% of the men in the US.

You look like .0001% of the women in the us.

So that is the called out message?

Is it called out or surpressed?

Huh?

Are you on the right thread?

Sherri,
There is much the Lord has called me to do. I would say for the past 30 years. It is hard at times because I have not been in the right place or time.

I am seeking the Lord but my avenues have been taking care of family related health issues.

Or tied to business.

I long for the moment that I can have the assurance and sense of doing his will as you have found.

I get excited when I see God move in the lives of others...

It gives me the hope that one day it will happen....
