I can see myself in your words. It may not be Chai Vanilla Latte, but I too easily return to temporary soothing before I surrender to His grace and love. I've been overwhelmed lately as I've thought about Jesus love and sacrifice that gives me forgiveness. Blessings!

I have struggled with letting earthly things bring me relief, even when they are a poor substitute for God and His Word. I'm thankful that we have been privy here to what God is doing in your life so that it may resonate with us as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701362919026534336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531909281927126909.post-81008627614322970772015-03-03T12:52:41.738-08:002015-03-03T12:52:41.738-08:00Me too, Joan!

Actually the latte helped for a brief while, but eventually, the pain came back. Interestingly, once I posted this on my blog and expressed what I had learned, my pain had completely subsided! I truly think God really wanted me to learn from my experience and share it here. He has such an amazing ability to do that!cairncottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10205290020671696920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531909281927126909.post-55448360317123620722015-03-02T22:01:39.804-08:002015-03-02T22:01:39.804-08:00Stepping out into thin air must be something like ...Stepping out into thin air must be something like walking on the water. :-) Sorry the vanilla latte did not help as much as you though it would.
