I'm not sure if people just hide it real well, but I see a lot of Christians around me kind of walking the walk in a straight line...growing and strengthening with dignity! Not me! My walk is kind of like that kid's rhyme...."jelly on a plate, wibble wobble wibble wobble, jelly on a plate"! I wobble all over the place....I fall....I get up....I fall...I get up. I have so many bruises on my spiritual body, and I often wonder what sort of example I set for non believers. It worries me sometimes. It's not that I turn away from God...it's just that I am one of those people who always seem to learn the hard and painful way!  But today God reminded me of a dream I had a while back.... I saw a wide driveway that arched outwards. It was a light yellow brick. It was pristine, not a mark on it and it looked kind of appealing. Then I saw a narrow path, kind of like a sidewalk. It had scratches and gouges, handprints, smudges...it was kind of dirty and yucky. But my Bible (my Rainbow Bible!) sat on this path. God showed me through this dream that even though I walked a tough little road, lots of mistakes, lots of falling over....He walked this road with me. He wasn't on that wide arching driveway...He was here with me on my yucky little smudgy sidewalk. I used to hate being me, coz I didn't think I was worth all that much. I really like being me these days, even though sometimes I still don't think I'm worth all that much. I like being me coz I'm pliable to Him. As much as I fall and bruise myself, as much as I take the long way around, He knows the desire of my heart, He knows I want to be exactly whom He wants me to be. So on these days when I get real mad at myself for my doubts and fears.....I am so glad He reminds me of the bottom line! I love my Jesus!  I am weak, but Thou art strong; Jesus, keep me from all wrong; I'll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee. Just a closer walk with Thee, Precious Jesus, hear my plea, Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. Through this world of toil and snares, If I falter, Lord, who cares? Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee. Just a closer walk with Thee, Precious Jesus, hear my plea, Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. When my feeble life is o'er, Time for me will be no more; Guide me gently, safely o'er To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore. Just a closer walk with Thee, Precious Jesus, hear my plea, Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. Penelope Captive of Hope

I'm walking that wobbly walk right with you my friend. Why, I even thought you were writing about me at first and you were just pretending it was you to protect my dignity. The main thing is getting back up again...and again.....and again...and again...... Let your gentleness be evident to all. Philippians 4:5

thats very natural Penelope cos people walk on different paths. The most important of all is not be discouraged and keep focusing on Him and determine to press on to reach the finish line. God bless you.

Even though the path seems to meander, when viewed from above it is a straight path to God. He is no fool if he should choose to lose the things he cannot keep to gain what he can never lose.....Jim Elliott Deena

. I wobble more than any of you !!! Do not argue the point with me either. As we grow the wobble should disappear? Could have fooled me? You look like you walk better than I do. . . Saying I am sorry is WORTHLESS without real repentance. True or FALSE ? Without a personal and intimate relationship with God, how can you ever realize the true identity and person of God? Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you. This time is short, serve Him well, serving all. Without exception. Know ? Yes ? ? .

Oh, I am so very glad you are a GOOBER! Jim said his friend called his children goober 1 and then goober 2, etc. It is because they wobbled and fell down, but then with his encouragement they would get up and try again. Jim explained to me that he and I are goobers too, but our Heavenly Father helps us get back up again until we become more mature and don't fall as much. So from one goober to another.....Got any chocolates?

ms_warriorthingy replies on 10/5/2008 2:57 am: Cat's don't wobble! Ooops I forgot...no arguing the point!! I guess I assumed the wobble would disappear as we grew. Maybe the wobble keeps us humble, Mr Cat? And no, my friend, I don't think I walk better than you...you got two extra feet remember? I WISH I would have had the video camera ready when I brought my Bagheera home after being neutered...he was still pretty groggy...and he wobbled down the long hall like a drunk cat trying to get out the door!

Sweet sister, what they will remember is not so much that you fall down often, because many of us do. What they'll remember is that you get back up and keep going forward. This quality makes you a bright shining light to inspire others. Keep doing what you do. Daddy loves you so much! Thomas and Robin

It's leads to that man behind the curtain who has no real power and is tricksy! Keep walking in the Light and you won't fall down and bump your head. (paraphrase mine)
