Things We Say Wrong

About Karen Romine

I am a woman after God's own heart. I want to see, feel, think and do like Him. I have a heart made for worshipping Him, and a voice created to sing His praises. He has gifted me in many areas, and given me many abilities in order to bring glory to Him. I am a Worshipper, a Leader, a Musician, a teacher, a Sister, an Aunt, and a Friend. What else is there to know? Some of my favorite quotes are: I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am. Phil. 4:13 (The Message) 1-4If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. 5-8Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn't claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion. 9-11Because of that obedience, God lifted him high and honored him far beyond anyone or anything, ever, so that all created beings in heaven and on earth—even those long ago dead and buried—will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ, and call out in praise that he is the Master of all, to the glorious honor of God the Father. Phil 2:1-11 (The Message) Romans 8:28 James 1:5 Romans 12:1-2 Habakkuk 2:3 "Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate." ~ William Arthur Ward ~ "Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail." ~ Confucius ~ "Those who do not know how to weep with their whole heart don't know how to laugh either." ~ Golda Meir ~ "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. ~
