But to see them through is a life-long process that constantly checks our reality against our goals. Nothing we can do except hard work, persistence, and dependence on God. So, is anything possible? No. But we can tap in to possibilities for ourselves that are truly astounding. <br />(I bet you couldn't imagine yourself doing what you are doing today when you were a teenager?)Bradley J.

See, I want health more than hardship, wealth more than poverty, etc., not the opposite, and not both equally. <br /><br />Yet it's still my prayer because I know it's a wise prayer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125792591159561789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101059195328496385.post-18793347739680886922009-10-30T22:39:34.065-04:002009-10-30T22:39:34.065-04:00Sam, I can get completely on board with Ignatius, ...Sam, I can get completely on board with Ignatius, without hesitation. He doesn't say desire illness more than health (etc.), but only not to have a preference. I can do this because I completely trust my Lord Who loves me. <br /><br />The words sound reminiscent of Proverbs 30:7-9:<br /><br /><i>Two things I request of You <br />(Deprive me not before I die): <br />Remove falsehood and lies far from me; <br />Give me neither poverty nor riches— <br />Feed me with the food allotted to me; <br />Lest I be full and deny You, <br />And say, "Who is the LORD?" <br />Or lest I be poor and steal, <br />And profane the name of my God.</i>Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101059195328496385.post-50572652201215186072009-10-30T16:56:09.868-04:002009-10-30T16:56:09.868-04:00Anne, I hear you.

I'm glad I didn't get what I thought I wanted." <br /><br />To you and nAncY about the commercial's statement being true elsewhere: At first I agreed, but I'm not sure. So much happens beyond our control. We are dependent beings, indeed, perhaps completely on God (accounting for theological position) or perhaps also on the actions of others, natural forces, health, income, social settings....<br /><br />Either way, I do trust enough that God cares and wants my life to make a difference in others' lives. So I side (hesitatingly) with St. Ignatius: <br /><br />"Thus, as far as we are concerned, we should not want health more than illness, wealth more than poverty, fame more than disgrace, a long life more than a short one, and similarly for all the rest, but we should desire and choose only what helps us more towards the end for which we are created."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125792591159561789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101059195328496385.post-19246398610958500112009-10-30T15:54:17.173-04:002009-10-30T15:54:17.173-04:00At the ACFW conference I attended in September, we...At the ACFW conference I attended in September, we were challenged to write down five impossible goals with the faith God could bring them to pass.<br /><br />God <i>can</i> do anything. But based on my past track record, I'm hesitant to define what I'd want from life. I prefer the Lord's plan to mine, and am content to dream about and work for that for which He gives me a vision. Rather than being passive or lazy, it invites active engagement with God's perfect will.<br /><br />BTW, I fully appreciate nAncY's remark.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101059195328496385.post-14622589733739698882009-10-30T12:42:53.085-04:002009-10-30T12:42:53.085-04:00where you end up is entirely up to you.
