Genji

What I found most interesting is the progress of your letter this time. You started and ended your letter by statements of: suffering writers block. You quoted Anna Whitehall Smith saying ALL came from Him. I think your busyness and writers block would fall into that catagory. Often we are told to give thanks in ALL things. Most of my suffering has been caused by my own hand. I make choices and want then to feel the victim role. Oh what a miserable life I have. I think complaining, suffering and being a victim to any circumstances is in conflict with thanksgiving. If we are doing what we feel we are told to do, we will be empowered to accomplish it. If we are doing more than we are empowered to do, then I think it is time to reexamine all of our commitments and see which are His and which are ours. As a recovering addict, I know that blame was my main problem and was what I found out of the mouths of most people in recovery. I think one of the whole points of the NT is to remove blame by taking responsibility for our own actions, thoughts and future. This is the true freedom. I think it is available to you also.
