Thanks, Connie and Marnie, for spelling out what I implied. InScribe is a branch of Jesus, the true vine. We can individually and collectively, I believe, become a branch.<br /><br />In Romans 12, Paul talks about how we as Christians are one body in Christ. In verses 5-9, he discusses the gifts and says that whatever our gift is we should use it. Whether it's prophesy, serving, teaching, giving. . .we are to be generous with this gift. I believe InScribe members have a good variety of these gifts and each member uses his or her gift to glorify God and to help one another. Paul says, "If it (your gift) is to encourage, then give encouragement." <br /><br />Sometimes we are the encourager; sometimes we are the one encouraged. Either way, we learn when we stay close to Jesus, who is the true vine, and we walk in God's vineyard. Blessings to all of you.<br /><br /> Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-50553146634886604592015-08-11T19:22:50.869-07:002015-08-11T19:22:50.869-07:00Yes, it truly is a blessing to be part of the InSc...Yes, it truly is a blessing to be part of the InScribe branch of God's vine. I too learn so much from reading all the blogs--and I am encouraged. I am encouraged by your blogs too Sharon because your voice is real and honest and I feel like I'm not the only one struggling with writing and with life. Thanks Sharon.

We can be trimmed by the gardener, but if we are cut off from the vine, we are no longer part of Christ. We do well to let God make the plans.<br />Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-33302599327604314642015-08-10T16:03:43.719-07:002015-08-10T16:03:43.719-07:00Your closing comments are so relevant.
