Good luck with the cholesterol pondering, Lisa. I know that’s a hard call, and people tend to have such passionate opinions about it. Or maybe that’s just some people I’m elated to? 🙂 I also appreciate your thoughts about being a “good” Christian. It’s kind of like trying to be a “good” mom … like who sets the standard for that, anyway? We do the best we can and trust that God will take care of the rest. He knows our hearts, offers rest for our souls, and equips us to love as He loves. You’re right … special knowledge is not required for that!

Good reminder. I struggle with the enough issue – am I enough? Am I doing enough? I will never be enough> yes we are through God who is enough – I know this yet I don’t fully know this. Sigh

This is such a good truth, “It’s Not Just What We Know. It’s WHO we know that matters the most.”
I pray you come to a place of peace about managing cholesterol levels.

Thoughtful post, Lisa.
The best part is your saying, “We know enough to run to Jesus, to learn from him, and rest in Him.”
Why do we ‘run around”, either literally or in our minds, striving for what we already have? I believe He is trusting us to trust him and open ourselves to receive what He wants us to know – whatever way He chooses to deliver that knowledge.

I have been getting caught up in the thought that I must know more; I need to know the answer to any question I might be asked. Seems silly writing that out. I can never know it all, but I know enough to love someone. Thanks for the reminder today, Lisa!

Yes, Lisa, if we are following Jesus, we know enough. In His arms we find true peace and comfort, knowing we are understood more than we can possibly understand.
I do hope all goes well with the process of reducing your cholesterol, too. Danny has been sailing that boat for ages.
Blessings!

Wow, so true that the gospel is not simply good advice that we need to investigate for pros and cons. I wonder how much research I would do if I were drowning and someone threw me a lifeline…

Lisa, I appreciated your thoughts as they remind me this morning to simply act upon what I already know to do.
