Like a car, indeed! Your essay was such a good explanation - inspiration had to come from Him.<br /><br />Your writing moves me, Glynnis.

I love it that God doesn't speak to us in old fashioned ways, but uses things that we can relate to now in current times.<br /><br />I'm so glad that God desires to be with us, and wants us home with Him. It's not just a desire on our part. It hit home as I read your post. It also fits in well with what I learned at our Homegroup yesterday, that Jesus desires to be pursued and known. And just like He often did in the Gospels, He doesn't always reveal Himself fully. He leaves us to pursue and see if it's really Him, or leaves us to pursue hard after Him to see if our hearts are truly for Him. The question for me is, how hard do I pursue Him?<br /><br />Connie ~ WinnipegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-84214246969444241482011-01-22T12:54:51.131-07:002011-01-22T12:54:51.131-07:00Feeling like an old car myself these days I could ...Feeling like an old car myself these days I could really relate to your post. Hopefully, recent tune-ups will enable me to drive as long and as efficiently as He wills me to do. Loved this post Glynnis. Thanks for the reminder that while we can, and should, enjoy the journey we do have an ultimate destination. I'm so grateful we do.Tracy Nuneshttp://tracynunes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-32198132715992878992011-01-22T07:22:40.824-07:002011-01-22T07:22:40.824-07:00This morning I read in Job, "You have decided...This morning I read in Job, "You have decided the length of our lives. You know how many months we will live, and we are not given a mninute longer." Job 13:5<br /><br />Our "engines" will someday stop, but until then, I want to fill up my "tank" and live in the abundance of all He has planned for me. I don't want to park my "car" in the "garage" of fear because I need some "repairs". This little engine-that-could is going to keep going until God turns the key in my "ignition" off for the final time. Then I'll travel streets of gold in a brand new "vehicle", as my body will be whole and fueled with everlasting joy in His presence.<br /><br />Loved the analogy :)<br />JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-30622807223686929302011-01-21T22:58:26.876-07:002011-01-21T22:58:26.876-07:00Beautiful!
