Comments for Suzy & Spice http://www.suzyandspice.com a pinch of this, a dash of that and a wag of the tale Sat, 17 Mar 2012 20:40:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Comment on Truth, ultimately by Suzy Oakley http://www.suzyandspice.com/2012/03/16/truth/comment-page-1/#comment-6341 Suzy Oakley Sat, 17 Mar 2012 20:40:11 +0000 http://www.suzyandspice.com/?p=3308#comment-6341 One thing you don't have to worry about is your writing. It's obvious you write from the heart and that it's Spirit-led. I thank you for the gift of transparency you offer to the women you wish to minister to, including me. It took me a couple of years of reading those "perfect" women's blogs (my friends from my church in North Little Rock) before I was brave enough to start doing it myself. In fact, it was one of those creative types (on staff at the church) who told me it was "time" for me to get with it. It has been a blessing, and my desire is to bless others. Janae, you are a blessing, and I look forward to keeping up with your blog. Thanks again for sharing it with me so that I could share it with others.

I think it is awesome that you have been blogging this long. I am so insecure in my writing and yet felt God propelling me forward since 1997. There are many things I feel confident with the gifts of teaching or leading, but NOT writing. Yes, I would say if something I write impacts someone then it was the Spirit, because whether it is teaching, leading or writing - I really don't believe I am capable of doing anything substantial apart from God and nothing eternally sound for certain. Thank you for your encouragement and letting others look in on your locker room. Your/our transparency is the key to the God using us as His instrument, a tool for His purposes.

Those puppies are precious and don't deserve that kind of start in live. My two dogs are both rescue dogs and I've had a long string of rescue dogs. Thanks for doing a good deed this morning.

I was just telling another running buddy this morning that I don't know if Phyllis came up with it, but it's a great word. I, too, have thought it should be in the dictionary. Wish I could say I invented it. Running buddy Phyllis introduced me to the word.

Happened across this recently on the http://www.littlerockmarathon.com FAQ page: <blockquote>What is the elevation change for the course? Is the course hilly? Our standard answer is "what hills?" (wink.wink.nudge.nudge....that's why we have that t-shirt.) Or “it depends on your perspective.” One man's mountain is another man's bump in the road. The elevation change is no more than 250 ft over the entire course. </blockquote> Regarding faith, I am also neither alone nor do I live without hope. I do not find it in your source.
