That it had dawned on him, that his introspection just wasn't working for him.<br /><br />So he decided to make a shift, and stop focusing inward, and start focusing outward.... toward Jesus.<br /><br />It was only then he saw growth.<br /><br />I am a very much a naval gazer. I love to ponder, and look deep within. I don't think he was saying it was bad, just that it hadn't really got him anywhere.<br /><br />Something for more for me to ponder.<br /><br />Anyway lovey, how have you been? How's business, and teaching and your beautiful family?<br /><br />xRiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01143878788693239293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226786543162913511.post-53774656496881207042011-04-03T08:01:37.019-07:002011-04-03T08:01:37.019-07:00Um ... that would be "difficult thinG" ....Um ... that would be "difficult thinG" ... need more coffee!

I am so glad I found you again! Love your post. I have been guilty of similar things - doing something for what people will think of me, rather than doing it just because it is the right thing to do - to love without expectation of return. It is a difficult think to live with our focus going outward, rather than inward. Love you, girl!txmom2jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464254694668995005noreply@blogger.com
