		<title>A Psalm For Women</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Psalm For Women
&#8220;Shalom, daughters of God!
Your Father is pleased with you.
How good it is to be called to serve in the household of God.
Thus saith the Lord, &#8216;Give flesh to the Word of life,
break the bread of justice,
feed all who hunger to take their place at the table.
Lift the cup of freedom filled with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tearsinabottle.wordpress.com&blog=2395208&post=648&subd=tearsinabottle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Making peace with our past&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been away from the computer for awhile as I’ve been in the middle of a move. We are all settled in now and I hope that time allows me to write and share more of what is on my heart&#8230;.where God continues to lead me.
 This morning my heart is somewhat heavy.  I have so many mixed emotions, so many thoughts [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tearsinabottle.wordpress.com&blog=2395208&post=643&subd=tearsinabottle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Humble Heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you want to know the joy and freedom of having a humble heart?  Or do you fear it as I often have?  I think we usually use the word humble incorrectly.  We use it to mean shame or humiliation, like when we say &#8216;he had to eat humble pie&#8217;.  In [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tearsinabottle.wordpress.com&blog=2395208&post=642&subd=tearsinabottle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>At the Scent of Water</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease. Though its root may grow old in the earth, and its stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tearsinabottle.wordpress.com&blog=2395208&post=632&subd=tearsinabottle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Captivated Woman~An Irreplaceable Role</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read a wonderful fictional book last year called, Healing Stones, by Stephen Arterburn and Nancy Rue (I highly recommend it and it was like reading my life’s story)&#8230;anyway, in it there was a part where the little girl was upset and decided to run away from home. The dad didn’t hurry to go looking [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tearsinabottle.wordpress.com&blog=2395208&post=628&subd=tearsinabottle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Captivated Woman continued~Romanced</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I believe it was in Captivating where Stasi talked about romance novels as being the bestselling novels and the fact that they don’t even have to be great works of literature, but women are buying them up like crazy.
I can&#8217;t help but wonder if these authors have tapped into something at the core, at the heart [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tearsinabottle.wordpress.com&blog=2395208&post=624&subd=tearsinabottle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What About God?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Victim’s Prayer 
Oh God, I am so torn and ashamed&#8230;.things have happened to me that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy. The wounds I’ve experienced are deep and ugly, I feel stained and abandoned. 
Trusting, really trusting another is pretty difficult for me. And if I can’t trust people who I can see how [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tearsinabottle.wordpress.com&blog=2395208&post=620&subd=tearsinabottle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>When our trust issues have been distorted&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Self trust&#8230;.. Is it a blessing or can it be something that so easily ensnares us?
For people who have been abused our trust issues have been distorted. We often fear trusting our instincts and our boundary lines become hazy or unclear. Whether as a child or as an adult if we put our trust in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tearsinabottle.wordpress.com&blog=2395208&post=617&subd=tearsinabottle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Where Am I?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case you are wondering I have been extremely busy and unable to write.  I really miss this opportunity to work on my relationship with God &#8216;out loud&#8217;.  He&#8217;s still working with me in the mean time, always leading me in the paths of righteousness.  I hope to be able to share my thoughts with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tearsinabottle.wordpress.com&blog=2395208&post=615&subd=tearsinabottle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Twice Refined</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Continuing on &#8230;A Captivated Woman
As a little girl I loved to read, and fairy tales were among my favorites. Thumbelina made me cry, Cinderella gave me hope, and I laughed through Snow White delighted by the seven dwarfs. I would gaze at the pictures for hours imagining myself in their fancy ball gowns; dancing with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tearsinabottle.wordpress.com&blog=2395208&post=612&subd=tearsinabottle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
