The Magnificent Obsession: Embracing the God-Filled Life by Anne Graham Lotz
Family Life Ministry Pastor Ken Kopal: 602-738-0532 PastorKen@firstsouthernpv.org
Are you restless in your spirit? Is your heart yearning to know if there’s something more to this life? More purpose? More joy? More satisfaction? Anne Graham Lotz has known this struggle, too. As she searched for answers to her heart’s yearning and emptiness, Abraham walked out of the pages of her Bible and into her life. Abraham’s life was full of twists and turns, riches and losses, deceit and redemption, failure and success. Nevertheless, his story holds the key to satisfying a longing heart: embracing a God-filled life. Join other women in studying Abraham’s example on Tuesday mornings from 10:00-noon or Thursday evenings from 6:00-7:30 beginning March 17 or 19 through April 28 or 30. Come and join us.

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains — where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” ~ Psalm 121:1-2 (NIV) ~ I received an email a few days ago from a company specializing in “resilient furniture”: simple, sturdy, water resistant tables and chairs — not fancy in any way — but built to last. They’re not cheap either; a plain white folding chair is about $60. They happen to be the same chairs that we have in the Fellowship Hall already. The email served to remind me that not all tables and chairs have the same life-span.

There’s something to be said for basic, unadorned resiliency — the ability to get through, get over, and thrive after trauma, trials and tribulations. In this sense, sturdy beats stylish every time.

USA Weekend did a cover story a few years ago on the subject of resiliency, asking the question, “Why do some people bounce, and others break?” The article noted how some people who experience trauma withdraw into a shell, while others facing the same crisis not only bounce back — but bounce back stronger than ever before. It talked about how resiliency is being studied in universities and taught in corporate seminars. Resiliency, the article said, could become the most important skill of the 21st century. Why do some people break down while others bounce back? Unlike furniture, I don’t think it has to do with our design. A chair can only be as strong as it was made to be — it can’t decide to be more resilient or less resilient. We, on the other hand, have access to support beyond ourselves. Our “design” — our emotional make-up resulting from parental and societal influences — can be overcome. A person who is naturally weak and easily discouraged doesn’t have to stay that way. continued ...
