Hi
I am learning so much about what is and is not me. Have you ever read "Boundaries" by Townsend and Cloud? A few of us are going through it...learning about what is our responsibility and what is not. What to let go of, what to ask help for, what to do ourselves. God gave me a picture about it...He wants to teach us how to fish. It isn't rules and regulations as much as it is freedom to live and be productive in life. How to interact with others. How to grow up. The beauty of fly fishing was the image...I have never attempted it but it appears to be so graceful and yet dirty as well. We are not removed from the elements but in them. Knee deep. Somehow knowing what my role is and what to leave for others is such a mystery to me. At times I "get it"..for a situation or moment it is clear. I suppose that is what living is about.
Anyway, it is good to be alive and knee deep. I believe the Father is teaching and will continue to show us the way to freedom and living abundant.
Bless you today in your pursuit of these things.

What a great picture. Standing in the middle of the river - feeling the force of nature, struggling to keep standing, being one with the elements, feets in the mud, being cleaned by the river - this starts to sound like life!
