		<title>LEARNING TO ABIDE IN HIM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John 15:4-5 &#8220;Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livingwhole.wordpress.com&blog=7248694&post=154&subd=livingwhole&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>DISTRACTED by Chronic Pain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
1 Corinthians 1 Paul refers to Jesus Christ nine times in the first nine verses. We are correctly focused when we can say from the depths of our being, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21, ESV), and that our determined purpose in life is “that I may [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livingwhole.wordpress.com&blog=7248694&post=111&subd=livingwhole&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;It&#8217;s gonna be OK&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1 Corinthians 14 
Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts&#8230;. the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. 
Now and again I hear a story that touches my heart so deeply that it gives me reason to &#8220;pause&#8221;. In the case of the following story, not only did [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livingwhole.wordpress.com&blog=7248694&post=91&subd=livingwhole&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Ripple Effect of Pain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The extreme greatness of Christianity lies in the fact that it does not seek a supernatural remedy for suffering but a supernatural use for it.&#8221;~Simone Weil

The depth of my relationship and knowledge of Christ oddly enough can in some ways be measured by the depth of pain I experience both emotionally and physically. I know [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livingwhole.wordpress.com&blog=7248694&post=41&subd=livingwhole&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Chronically Living in the Moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[~~Knowing that testing of your faith produces patience.~~ JAMES 1:3
One of my favorite quotes comes from John MacArthur: &#8220;Don’t ever doubt that trials will accomplish something positive…With every trial, we build the tenacity of spirit that holds on under pressure while waiting patiently on God to remove the trial at the appointed time and then [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livingwhole.wordpress.com&blog=7248694&post=31&subd=livingwhole&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Looking for GRACE in a Broken Body!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I never would have imagined that chronic pain and illness could bring me so much LIFE. I know that sounds utterly crazy. Amidst so much LOSS I have begun to LIVE WHOLE &#8211; spirit, soul, and body. But, this &#8220;positive&#8221; attitude hasn&#8217;t come easily. I prayed long and hard for it. It took a long [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livingwhole.wordpress.com&blog=7248694&post=17&subd=livingwhole&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Is this life I live today Part of the Potter&#8217;s Plan?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.” Isaiah 68:8 NKJB
My imagination soars when I think of being living clay. The idea that we are being molded and made WHOLE by the Master Potter excites my being to it&#8217;s very core - spirit, soul, and body!
For my SPIRIT [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livingwhole.wordpress.com&blog=7248694&post=3&subd=livingwhole&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
