I, too appreciate your spirit, and your appetite for The Lord, and His Word. I especially appreciate your willingness to share, AND listen. Your listening speaks to your submissive heart.

I agree with SincereSeeker, but he is somehow able to say what I’m thinking in a more receivable way. We all need “SincereSeekers” in our corner to remind us to “stay tethered to the Word”. Once you become comfortable with his “Elijah-esque sass” I find his admonishments are reminiscent of a good shepherd; a shepherd who might say to the flock, “I know that yonder pasture looks green and delicious, but it is intermingled with poisonous nightshade, so you should steer clear”.  
Keep listening, and yielding to His Word
