Ruth Elizabeth Barron's journey. Tag Archives: John 16.7-11. Note: this was posted by Joshua, but it's still Ruth writing). That sounds so right, something at which you can nod your head. We are sinners. We need God to show us our sin continually, or we would ignore it, continuing in the same sinful direction we’ve always gone. It is the theme for which we expect our pastors to pray and on which we expect them to preach. Here is God’s standard, God’s ideal. Have you arrived yet? The issue troubling me wa...

Ruth Elizabeth Barron's journey. April 29, 2015. God's care for my oldest daughter's heart was healing and strengthening, but the roots of my worry about my children's hearts were still there. Just a week later, my heart turned to worry about the heart of my then youngest daughter. It was her birthday, and she was turning three. The problem was that we were in transition. I was grief-stricken that I could have messed up something so important. She answered. So, I made the muffin cake and iced it. My daug...

Ruth Elizabeth Barron's journey. October 23, 2014. Note: this was posted by Joshua, but it's still Ruth writing). While we were in the States for our furlough, I noticed something at a church we attended several times. It was something that on the surface seemed customary, expected, fitting. But underneath, that something nagged at me and made me uncomfortable. It made me feel off-balance and weighed down. Every service ended with the minister praying that we would be convicted of our sin. The issue trou...

Ruth Elizabeth Barron's journey. Lately, however, this fear has been fading from my heart. The more I grow in knowledge and relationship with God, the more experiences I have of His presence and provision and healing, the more this issue fades. Suddenly, I heard, "Maybe I want her to ask me for it." At that very moment, I finished my oldest daughter's song, and she started to cry, "My song is so short." I felt like I was dreaming. "Did she really notice tonight? March 31, 2015. A Birthday Gift ».

Ruth Elizabeth Barron's journey. Bugs, Dolls, and Healing. Early in our second term in Kenya, my second daughter, then five years old, began asking daily for a certain doll, and where would I get it? Why are you angry with your sister? I asked. She couldn't answer. I wrestled with what to do. Should I ask her whether she felt jealous and thought that her sister was favored over her? If I was wrong, would that plant a new idea in her head? And a flood of tears was my answer. My daughter was finally ab...

Ruth Elizabeth Barron's journey. Flowers in God’s Garden. Was I really talking to myself? I had a picture at that time of me standing in the doorway listening to God urging me to come out and follow Him, but I was afraid to shut the door behind me and follow. Interestingly, what God was calling me to was a life of less deprivation, of less self-sacrifice. That was scary to me because the Bible talks so much about taking up your cross. How could it be right to let God delight my heart? October 29, 2014.

Ruth Elizabeth Barron's journey. They’re all the same to me. Goliath is not challenging the army of a man or of a human kingdom. He is challenging the army of the living God. That same God is the one who gave me victory over the lion and the bear. How is this different? I have seen how much more effective my prayers are when I pray according to God's leading rather than my own thoughts, so what would I do if I heard nothing? What if nothing happened when I prayed?
