I could just about ...Oh Joy, Just loved this post! I could just about hear your heart pounding at the thought of entering that elevator! :) <br /><br />This week I read in my homework from my Beth Moore Bible Study, "Have you noticed that God often requires us to leave our comfort zones to answer our calling?" She went on to say that if we consider ourselves to be a Christian, according to Romans 8:30, we must consider ourselves called! No amnt of comfort is worth missing the greatest adventure humankind can experience. <br /><br />Oh Dear Father, Thank you for bringing dear Joy into our lives! What a blessing she is to all of us!

Wish I was there to walk this road with you, but then again, I think you're doing great on your own with Jesus.<br /><br />I'm not a fan of heights either, or dogs... But I am a fan of Jesus, and he is, indeed, our peace for every step of the journey.<br /><br />~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810396843383456111.post-19562640555487751392010-01-20T22:29:31.254-05:002010-01-20T22:29:31.254-05:00Great post my friend.

You knew he needed something and you didn't let your fear stop you from getting it for him. <br /><br />Maybe the lesson here for us is "can we face our fears with the same faith for ourselves as we do when we do when we face them for the benefit of another?"Chef Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364679764455626661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810396843383456111.post-11906740498459750912010-01-20T18:25:32.015-05:002010-01-20T18:25:32.015-05:00Joy--Yaay for you, I get the verse immediately &qu...Joy--Yaay for you, I get the verse immediately "He who has been trusted with little (like riding elevators) will be trusted with much.

I am with you in that struggle against fear and anxiety, for I have it, too, and can totally relate. I know the Lord will not ever leave us, so He's with us in all we go through, but there's no denying those feelings of dread, etc., when they come. I have the same issue with elevators as you do - and have overcome it at times in the past couple years - but still it comes and goes. I celebrate your victory in there with the wheelchair! Just take one step at a time each day - don't have to conquer every fear on your list (I, myself, have no interest in flying). <br /><br />The Lord is faithful and compassionate toward us in our fears, so don't be discouraged. Remember, He Himself said, "...for apart from Me you can do nothing," (John 15:5).<br />Love, AndreaAndreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810396843383456111.post-33009208866183139862010-01-20T09:35:59.760-05:002010-01-20T09:35:59.760-05:00Yay!
