Over the last four months, Nay and I have had several times of particular difficulty. Hannah Gadlage (Her Anchor Podcast) asked a great question about what Bible verses we use to get through tough times. In this show I mention Nay's Testimony of how God healed her, and here is a link to that.Verses:Isaiah 43:23-3When you pass through the waters,    I will be with you;and when you pass through the rivers,    they will not sweep over you.When you walk through the fire,    you will not be burned;    the flames will not set you ablaze.For I am the Lord your God,    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;Luke 6:38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”James 1:17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.Proverbs 21:21Whoever pursues righteousness and love    finds life, prosperity[a] and honor.Psalms 37:4Take delight in the Lord,    and he will give you the desires of your heart.2 Timothy 1:7For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We all are learners...at least I hope you are. Here are a few tips to tell if it's succeeding in your life and what to watch for.Olan Hendrix ArticlesPolicy Governance Model (The Carver Method)

I always thought humility meant that I was to be humiliated. But according to a recent lesson from Kris Vallotton from Bethel Church, this is the idea: "God is opposed to the proud but he gives grace to the humble" - James 4:6 "To be humble does not mean to think less of yourself, it means to think of yourself less" - CS Lewis. From the devotional: Here are 15 signs of true humility: 1. You are teachable. 2. You are influenceable. 3. You can be corrected without defending yourself. 4. You rejoice when others are celebrated. 5. No job is too small for you. 6. You don't have to be right. 7. You naturally seek the advice of others. 8. You actually do pray. 9. You freely admit your flaws, mistakes, and failures. 10. You live to help others succeed. 11. You aren’t entitled. 12. You are patient. 13. You don’t promote yourself. 14. You let other people have a better story than yours. 15. You honor other people when they are talking.Links: Brian Regan "I Walked on The Moon" regarding letting other have the better storyKris Vallotton at Bethel Church in Reading, CA"Not Always Right": a blog about customer service experiences from the other side"Snacks with a Twist" is Nay's Snack Food site.

I've talked a bit about this before, but this time I give it a more spiritual look. God has a purpose for each of us, but we have to ask.

What are the influences in your life. It depends on who you listen to, watch or read. All these have an influence on who we are and how we react in life.

Last week, we discussed the do nots of how to handle conflict. I recently read Steven K. Scott's "The Richest Man Who Ever Lived" and in it, he quotes Gary Smalley's "Rules of Engagement" regarding conflict. Conflict is inevitable and Jesus even spoke about it in an encouraging fashion.
