[Faith-talk] Reflection

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hello,

Interesting perspective. She did indeed share a lot of her struggles with 
the list and I certainly want to be supportive to someone in that situation. 
I did also write many messages to her and encouraged her to get the 
accomodations needed such as braille music lyrics needed to participate in 
service or the choir.
However, it did get somewhat repetetive.

Maybe she'll take up my offer to have someone assist her with the Iphone. 
There are ways to edit messages and dictate to it in a way that comes out 
clear. Someone with that big a struggle needs to talk to people as well to 
puzzle things out. Its good that you all will talk to her.

Have a good weekend, everyone. And, I hope to see you all on the next 
conference call.

Ashley

Well I've been a doing a lot of cleaning today because the nieces are coming 
over tomorrow. To make the chores less boring of course I talk to God. Well 
it came to my realization that God sent Jenni in our midst to teach us all 
something.

I want to personally thank Jenni for posting on here no matter how it came 
out. Second, I want to thank everyone who has given advice and stood by her. 
And that's no matter how it came out as well. Third of all if she does not 
subscribe to this any longer then I will share this with her.

It's my personal believe that when  you reading the Scriptures/scared text 
of faith, or have experiences in your life God is trying to teach you 
something. And if he never puts situations in life that tests our faith, 
understanding of others, or of ourselves then we are not really growing in 
our faith. So with that said, Jenny has taught us a lot! She's taught us 
patience. She's taught us how to improve our communication skills. She's 
taught us the importance of asking questions. She has taught us that 
everyone does not have the same life experiences we do, or financial 
situation. Not everyone learns the same way we do which should be obvious 
since the NFB  message says that we are like the general population, we just 
learn differently. We also learned that sometimes answers can't be found 
immediately. We've also learned that even if God is changeless, we need to 
be. If we did not need to change our ways and learn from our experiences 
then we do not have any need for God.  If we don't need to change then we 
don't send therefore we don't need God, right?

So much of the New Testament calls us to walk with our brothers and sisters, 
to understand them and to help them. Sometimes we don't know how but just 
listening which I think helped Jenny the most and what many of us did helped 
the most. I'm done with my reflection and I can greatly say I have huge 
respect for pastors who have to have it together every Sunday. This took a 
lot of thought and editing.

Praise be to God who never changes but changes us to be more and more like 
him every day!  Praise God that he alone knows how we tick and leads us to 
those who can help us change!  Praise be to God for everyone on the journey 
from the beginning to the end!
