More PBA links

A couple more Performance-Based Acceptance stories have been posted, and I updated the original post with links to these stories. As I said before, it's never too late! Let me know if you post your story.

Here are the latest two:

Lydia Joy (a joy to be me): Performance Based Acceptance..........

The Lewis Family (Propitiation): My Story - continued

Performance-Based Acceptance Stories - Links

Wow... these stories have had an impact on me! On the one had they've left me hurting, feeling, aching, crying and growing in compassion - knowing that our stories represent so many people around the world who deal with legalism and the bondage of performing for God and/or others to earn or maintain acceptance. But of course I've also found my heart being filled with joy as I've read how God has set hearts free and continues to help people live in the freedom for which He set them free!

On the day that all this came to my mind, the word "story" kept going through my mind. I then read Paul Anderson-Walsh's quote, "Each and every one of us has our own story to tell about the problem of Performance-based Acceptance." The words of a commenter on Aida's post stick out to me: "It is so important we share our stories with each other." Thanks to all for sharing your stories, and let's not stop doing that!

Below are the stories of those who participated in this synchroblog (that I'm aware of). It's never too late! --- If/when more stories are posted, I'll add them.
