Chapter Five
Question~ Someone has said that each one of us is created "with a God shaped hole" and that we will never truly be satisfied until we fill the space with him. Unfortunately many of us, as Terri described, fill up on spiritual snickers bars. What do you turn to instead of God when you are feeling empty.
Imogene~ First I fill it with activities with other people. Then I turn to food if that did not do the job. God has had to scream at me, "Why are you going to all these other people and not just coming straight to me? I am the only one that can fix this." Also I love to eat. Growing up my mom had us on strict nutritional diets and so now I love junk food. It is scary how much I can eat. The I realized that I was emotional eating and it was getting the best of me. I had to start having second quiet times at night before I started my snacking.
Chapter Six
My first favorite song after I was saved:)
Question~ Who was the first Christian in your life to live in such a way that you could clearly see Christ? How did this person affect your live?
Imogene~ This one is an easy one for me, my sister. She was the one that called my up and invited me to go to Campus Crusade Spring Break and instead of drinking we were going to share the gospel with people and save them from hell. She has continued to be an inspiration to me. She helps me see what is really important, and it is not in this world. I love her!
Question~ What spoke to you most in this chapter?
Imogene ~ "Of all the identifying marks of a Christian, Jesus said love would be the thing that gives us away. "By this all men will know that you are my disciples,". I feel that so many times I am so caught up in my own self that I forget to look around to see who God may have in my path that may need a little extra love today. They are there, but am I looking? If I have my quiet time it sets my day off in his focus and I will try to look to see what he is showing me:)
