Assignment #1, ACCEPTANCE

Hello fellow travelers,
As I have been contemplating and concentrating on the word ACCEPT, I have been confronted with the fact that there are different kinds of acceptance that I face as a Christ-follower. So I want to ask that you please chime in to share in the comments of this post.

The Assignment:
Look carefully at the definitions and synonyms listed in the earlier post (below). Think about the subtle differences in the meanings. Where have you had to face acceptance in your walk with God recently? Is there a word or phrase that really stands out to you in this Oxford definition? Why does it stand out?
Please share an experience you have had with acceptance or how the word impacts your engagement with others.

God is God quote

God is God. Because He is God,

He is worthy of my trust and obedience.

I will find rest NOWHERE but in His holy will,

a will that is unspeakably beyond my largest

notions of what He is up to.

Considering CREEDS

If you haven't gone to Dalene and Linda's Facebook page for the book, you need to view the video they posted with Clayton Jennings expressing WHAT HE BELIEVES. Which got me thinking about writing my own CREED.
With that in mind, here is some of the information I have found about creeds.
