Lessons learned the first 50 years

I hit a milestone. I turned 50 years old. I am thankful that I don't feel 50.   I am thankful for things God has taught me throughout those 50 years. .  I have learned that God loves mercy and when I feel a sense that justice needs to happen over mercy, all I need to do is remember that I am thankful for when God gives me mercy instead of a just punishment.   (Micah 6:8 8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.) ( Luke 6: 36  Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. ) I have learned that hurt people end up hurting people.   When I am able to see that I didn't hurt them but I am bearing the results of that persons hurt inflicted by other people, it helps me forgive whatever hurt they pushed onto me and move on.  (Romans 12 : 18  If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. )  I have learned that anyone who thinks they have God

Happy Birthday, Joanne!


Joanne,
I found your blog, http://thesimplewife.typepad.com/, through my favorite Bible study author, Beth Moore.  You see, when I was 27, I joined a Bible study...a Beth Moore Bible Study...and I was finally set free.  Free from the lies of my past and the shakey blocks I had built my life upon.   She asked us to pray for you and it has been my pleasure over the last couple of months to pray for your complete healing.  I imagine the progress isn't quite at the speed as you would like, but I pray you feel His hands and His love helping you on this journey.  I imagine you hear His voice like you have never been able to hear it before.  I hope His love overwhelms you with Thankfulness and the Hands of the Body of Christ lift you up.  Have a blessed, happy birthday! 
Much love,
Rachel
Atlanta, GA
