Sunday at...Oh Ms Mindy, your post hit home with me. Sunday at church our Associate Pastor gave the message and it was, "Let Go, Let God." It was a great sermon and then this week's word is "release." So I think God's trying to get my attention. I like your mention of the shield of faith and we should use it. So the rest of this week I'm gonna try extra hard to take my shield and release the fears and let go and let God. Btw, LOVE your books, you're a wonderful writer.....Karen Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711803445934476038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-19575936443009774202021-05-05T17:03:59.915-04:002021-05-05T17:03:59.915-04:00You're welcome, Angeline!You're welcome, Angeline!Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-88166101376657153402021-05-05T15:48:28.959-04:002021-05-05T15:48:28.959-04:00Thank you for the giveawayThank you for the giveawayAngelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06585458445226897034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-26648015458300876802021-05-05T13:32:40.788-04:002021-05-05T13:32:40.788-04:00Aww, thank you, Vince.

Like I mentioned to someone else, our default often seems to be worry or whining when should simply hold up our shield and stop those things that threaten to derail us by turning them over to God. Indeed, faith without action isn't faith.Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-40494675960351420142021-05-05T13:27:44.398-04:002021-05-05T13:27:44.398-04:00Lynne, those pesky distractions can, sometimes, su...Lynne, those pesky distractions can, sometimes, suck the life right out of us.

Your post made me think about faith.
...Hi Mindy:<br /><br />Your post made me think about faith. <br /><br />I believe that faith is belief in action. <br /><br />As Cassius told Brutus when events seemed to overwhelm him, "Of your philosophy you make no use if you give place to accidental evils." Brutus was a Stoic but he failed to turn his faith in Stoicism into action. <br /><br />In Luke 17-21 believers are told that, "the kingdom of God is within you."<br /><br />Our shield is within us. All we have to do is use it! Yet to use it, we have to believe it is there to be used. <br /><br />The best way to build faith is to put it in action. <br /><br />BTW: "A Brother's Promise" is a wonderful, 5 star story. It was so refreshing to enjoy an older hero and heroine. Just loved the ending. It was beyond happy!<br />Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.com
