I've been through a similar awaking to intimacy with God. Mine was instigated by reading a book that I bought because it had a great title (well, I thought so, since I'm a fancy coffee addict!!) "The Gospel According to Starbucks." It lays out the idea that for us to be effective as Christians, we must be authentic. That authenticity only comes from an intimate relationship with God.<BR/><BR/>Blessings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822873065635870307.post-65357246502398303672008-09-02T13:18:00.000-05:002008-09-02T13:18:00.000-05:00Michelle, this was a great post. Thank you so muc...Michelle, this was a great post. Thank you so much for sharing what you've learned regarding intimacy with the Lord. When you said, "He showed me that the discipline of intimacy is a privilege and that I should regard it with great care." It is a privelege to be intimate with God and we should regard it as such. We should dust it and polish it and give it first place in our lives! God bless you for picking this quote. It meant a lot to me and revealed some truths to me that I needed to search out. And thank you for the sweet comment on my post for today.Laurie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10125770034519297114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822873065635870307.post-8357201674778903642008-09-02T11:52:00.000-05:002008-09-02T11:52:00.000-05:00Thanks Michelle for stipping by to let me know you...Thanks Michelle for stipping by to let me know you had Mr. Linky up and running. I had to leave the house early this morning and was afraid I'd miss you!<BR/><BR/>Great post and a great quote. Your words reminded me of a time several years ago when I went next door to the church early every morning to walk and pray. It started out as "exercise" but ended up and an exercise in intimacy. We moved to a new state and new church since them, but perhaps the Lord is telling me I need to get back to that time spent alons just walking with Him.<BR/><BR/>Bless you Michelle!Bonnie Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348002062378879350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822873065635870307.post-77283150645156812412008-09-02T09:48:00.000-05:002008-09-02T09:48:00.000-05:00Boy, we always have to try and do it our way first...Boy, we always have to try and do it our way first, second, third...and the list goes on.
