Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. 1John 1:9 If we confess our sins,he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I WAS JUST REFLECTING ON THE GOODNESS OF GOD THIS MORNING. IF WE COULD ONLY TRUST HIM IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCE OF LIFE, WE WOULD BE TOTALLY FREE. TOTAL FREEDOM TO BE ALL GOD CALLED US TO BE. TO KNOW IN EVERY FIBER OF OUR BEING THAT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT COMES IN OUR LIFE OR HAPPENS TO US IS WORKED OUT FOR THE GLORY OF GOD. IF WE COULD SEE THE BIG PICTURE AND SEE HOW CONNECTED WE ALL ARE IN CHRIST. WOW!!! ONE BODY WORKING TOGETHER FOR ONE PURPOSE!!! GLORY TO GOD. HE DESERVES ALL OUR PRAISE!!!

WOW!!! I STARTED READING THIS BOOK IN THE CAR WHILE WAITING FOR MY MOM TO FINISH WITH HER EYE EXAM . I NEVER WOULD HAVE BELIEVED THAT A FICTION BOOK WOULD AFFECT ME SO DEEPLY. I FOUND MYSELF CRYING IN THE CAR FOR OVER AN HOUR. THE MESSAGE IN THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. IT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH, CRY, AND SOMETIMES IT IS SO PAINFUL THAT YOU HAVE TO LAY IT DOWN AND GET ALONE WITH "PAPA"(GOD) AND WORK THINGS OUT BEFORE GOING ON IN THE STORY. WHEN MOM CAME OUT AND I STARTED TELLING HER ABOUT THE BOOK, WE WENT HOME AND I FINISHED READING IT TO HER FOR OVER 3 HOURS TILL WE FINISHED..SHE WAS AFFECTED THE SAME WAY. AGAIN, THIS BOOK IS AMAZING AND WONDERFUL!!! I CAN ONLY SAY EVERYBODY NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK!!! IT WILL TOTALLY OBLITERATE ALL YOUR PRECONCIEVED IDEAS OF WHO YOU THINK GOD IS!!!!!!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK !!!!!!!! I AM TELLING EVERYBODY IN MY LITTLE WORLD:) GO TO: www.theshackbook.com AND READ HOW THIS BOOK HAS AFFECTED SO MANY!!!!!

IT IS SO WONDERFUL AND CHALLENGING TO SEE HOW GOD IS TRYING TO TEACH ME TO BE MORE LIKE HIM WITH THE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES THAT ARE IN MY OWN FAMILY:) I LOVE MY FAMILY BUT THRU THEM I SEE HOW MUCH CLOSER I NEED JESUS TO UNDERSTAND AND DEAL WITH MY OWN REACTIONS, MOTIVES AND INTENTIONS IN THE THINGS I MANIFEST THRU THE DAY IN INTERACTING WITH THEM. PATIENCE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOUNTAINS AND PRIDE ANOTHER BIGGIE!!! I LEARN HOW MUCH I NEED JESUS TO BREAK ME!!! THANK YOU FATHER GOD FOR ALWAYS BEING FOR MY GOOD AND SEEING WHAT I NEED TO CONFORM TO YOU!!! LET YOUR GLORY BE REVEALED THRU ME!!!
