Hi Amy,
i somehow stumbled upon this blog spot today while reading the "encouragement for today" entry that you wrote. i was just so encouraged by the introduction of yourself that you've written--especially when you talked about how you weren't good on your feet, but rather am able to digest and then respond later... haha i know it probably doesn't seem significant, but i just loved your honesty about it because i'm exactly the same way! and for a while i felt discouraged about how i wasn't able to express my responses about God or anything like that fluently in words, but am able to come back with responses after a while... anyway, what i mean to say is that i'm definitely encouraged by you in the fact that even with the limitations we may have, God has been able to use you mightily in sharing your love for Him...and that's what i'm praying He'll do with myself.
Hi Amy,
I just wanted to stop by and say hi. I don't know that you will remember me, but I was in the same evaluation group with you in 2005 at "She Speaks". We were together with Charlene Kidd. I think it's SO AMAZING that you are now part of the Proverbs 31 Team. Congrats! I remember the first time I received one of your devotionals via "Proverbs 31" - I saw your name and thought - I met her!!! So thrilled for all the Lord is doing in your life.
May the Lord continue to use you and may you continue to grow in your love for Him.

Dear Amy, It was so good reading your "encouragement for today" about the church, the bride. God used my disenchantment with church to teach me about the trap of offense and the freedom of forgiveness. How big is our God! He tells us each the same thing in different ways to accomplish
his purposes in us and we become one as a result. One heart, one mind, one body of Christ to the glory of God. How awesome is that!?

Hi Amy!
I read your e.f.t. and pondered on the verse you chose..particularly the word "acclaim". Those are blessed that learn to acclaim Him ~ what does that mean?? Well, I got it when I read the definition! Check this out!:
ac·claim [ə kláym]
1. vt praise somebody lavishly: to praise somebody or something publicly with great enthusiasm
2. vt pronounce somebody to be something: to declare enthusiastically and publicly that somebody holds a high position
3. vi shout enthusiastically: to demonstrate enthusiastic approval by shouting and cheering
4. enthusiastic reception: enthusiastic approval given to somebody or something publicly

The words that hit me were "praise lavishly" and "publicly"! The Bible says we LEARN to acclaim Him...as I get to KNOW HIm more the more I wish to ACCLAIM Him!!

I too have been led to you through Crosswalk. Your daily encouragment today was just what I needed to hear. You made me laugh and you put me back on the right track. I am in the midst of great changes in my life, difficult changes but when I remember to put my trust in God nothing seems too undaunting. Thanks for sharing yourself to us. God Bless You and your family this Thanksgiving.
NEVER is it wrong to teach right. My husband and I taught our children that God's way is the best way, and, since He said not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, then that's what HE meant. God has been so good. All three of our children married believers surrendered to HIM. How come people are afraid to teach what GOD says....these things ought not to be. I'd rather follow God and not be afraid of what HE says than to not follow God and be afraid of what my friends and the world says. Don't let the world squeeze you into ITS mold. Follow God! Romans 12:1,2
Amy,
Just wanted you to know that I CANNOT wait to see you @ She Speaks. I really feel like you had so much to do w/ me attending this year. You encouraged me so much during Ladies Rejoice, God really used you girlfriend - just had to share that w/ you! Look forward to seeing you soon!
Many blessings
~Christy
Just wanted to point out to you something you wrote in your Sept 2 Proverbs 31 email - you used the phrase "a rule of thumb". You might want to research the origin of that phrase before using it again in a description about interpreting God's Word. It has to do with the size of a man's thumb and what he uses to hit his wife in Old England. An internet search will give you more information. Your sister in Christ, Christina
Amy dear, as an aging woman I feel I managed to get through the problems you write about when I realised that all our wrinkles are but encouraging messages from our loving Father, saying: We'll soon be together. Since then I always smile when I look at my aging face in the mirror.
Hi, Amy:
Thank you for the devotional, "Turtle Neckin'". Since I have crested age-wise and find myself proceeding over the hill, I have also felt the need to speak boldly against un-Christian like behavior in my local womens ministry associations. Unfortunately, church politics being what they are, some very influential women have black-balled me socially. While what I have said was spoken for the sake of guarding the ministry from gossip, being over critical of others, etc., I have received threats,ultimatums and finally told I am no longer needed as a committee leader. My question is this, how do I remain true to the ministry that God has given me while at the same time I am being excommunicated socially from the very group of women I have devoted myself to over the years? How can I worship in a hostile church environment? (For that's exactly what it feels like right now.)I would really be interested on your advice.
Anonymous,
This question is a little hard to answer without actually knowing all the details, but here's what I suggest:
1. Pray--Ask the Lord if you truly handled this situation with love, kindness and integrity. If God doesn't speak to you about any fault on your part, please pray about your continuing participation with this group. It's possible that God will call you out of participation.
2. Ask a trusted friend--If there is a truth-telling woman who loves you and serves with you, ask her for her perspective. I highly value this kind of friend. Sometimes my truth-telling friends will reassure me and give counsel for moving forward. Other times they have helped me to identify how I might have handled a situation differently and how to repair relationships.
2. Walk in humility--Whether you go or stay in this group, God calls us to always interact with others in love and humility. We can tell the truth and still exhibit those qualities. If you continue to interact with others in humility, God's truth in the situation will surface over time.
I hope this helps, friend! I've been part of some painful circumstances with other believers, too. Please know that I'm praying for you.
Wow! Thank you for your Proverbs 31 post on today's date: 12/23/09. Your words have greatly encouraged me. A friend and I have recently talked about wanting to well just have an adult tantrum over what is expected rather than what we want to do. We have been praying about what God is teaching us this Christmas season. You have opened up another layer for me. Blessings
