Stop Faith-Fighting Fungi

Thanks for all the feedback on last Saturday's posting, which was a take-off on the news about a global fungus threatening all frogs (true). I invited suggestions of "fungi" in our lives that threaten our FROGging (Fully Relying On God). The comment section is still open, but here are the ones posted so far:

Busyness, "stuff"

Getting entangled with the "demands" of this world

Disappointment--in God not providing what we thought we "needed"

Disappointment--in ourselves for constantly failing our expectations to FROG

Not allowing the grace of God to take over and thinking we can never be forgiven (from Jake, Jeremy's good friend)

Lack of faith (I don't really believe God can or will act in a particular situation)

They all ring true. I think Jake got us started on the path to the "antibiotic" for these fungi: the grace of God. Where in all the universe is a god like our God--overflowing with mercy and grace to more than overcome every sin and failure in us!

Do you have suggestions for habits we can nurture to "keep ourselves in the grace of God" and be more consistent at FROGging? It's not that God will zap us if we fail here, but it really does make Him happy when we fully rely on Him, and I don't need to mention how much better off we are when we do. Scroll down to "comments," click on it, and add your "prescription."

Then, if you wish, scroll a bit further to the photo I posted last evening; it could be titled "Myrtle Beach February Bikini."

We're committed to trusting God for the outcome of this morning's CA 125 test. I'm feeling rested and ready for a day at work.

Blessings,
Carol
