learning to live out of our hearts and not our intellect -- podcast to listen to

Living Out of Our Hearts

Religious people who are trying to make sense of their pain end up in some pretty scary places. That launches Brad and Wayne into a conversation about learning to live out of our hearts and not our intellect, which tries to understand what God is doing without a real engagement with him. They discuss the lessons of Job and its unique place in the Old Testament, as well as how in a growing relationship with God, making requests of him to fit what we want makes far less sense than learning to commune with him so we can be part of his unfolding purpose in our lives and in the world around us.

cat allergy

Man oh man… my cat allergy is getting worse.  I picked up the kittens to bring them in to feed them some soft food and now my throat is reacting (itchy, feels like it is closing, sore).  Thank goodness I have allergy pills on hand.

They are so cute… why do I have to be allergic?  Grrrrr!

expectations = unhappiness

I learned this lesson a few years ago… expectations kill relationships.  This article addresses the husband/wife relationship but the lesson translates to all our relationships.

After I learned to let go of my expectations in one particular relationship in my life, I found any interactions with this person a gift and I appreciated them instead of being irritated with them for not meeting my expectations.  I can now enjoy the freedom of just being in relationship… no strings attached.  :)
