But I keep forgetting, and so my kids keep reminding me! (Familiar?) Honestly, though . . . I didn't really get where the power to be transformed was until I finally got that I didn't have it myself just 'cause I was supposed to have it as a Christian! I love Jesus' own illustration of the vine and branches -- and am finally learning how to just cling to Him and obey Him moment by moment, and be glad for what He does in that. I also love Steve Brown, and his whole book about grace, freedom, and not getting any better -- and the way grace and freedom to learn do change us over the years as we walk on. Have a great week!

Honestly, though . . . I didn’t really get where the power to be transformed was until I finally got that I didn’t have it myself just ’cause I was supposed to have it as a Christian!

I love Jesus’ own illustration of the vine and branches — and am finally learning how to just cling to Him and obey Him moment by moment, and be glad for what He does in that.

I also love Steve Brown, and his whole book about grace, freedom, and not getting any better — and the way grace and freedom to learn do change us over the years as we walk on.

Have a great week!
