Truth And Trip Johan’s Testimony (Ps 119:43; Romans 1:25) (Sanctification) 2
Sonja and I learned how to pray the TRIP method using the “Daily Texts” from Ingrid Trobisch. She came to Mount Carmel in 1987 at the invitation of our friend Jean Bierly (and her husband Bill who is now with our Lord). After that Ingrid came every summer and we developed a couple’s retreat ministry based on one she was leading. We trained 10 couples to be leaders of these retreats which were held at many sites in the Midwest. The purpose was to help couples listen to God, to one another and to practice the deepest intimacy we can know, transparent prayer, using the “Daily Texts.” As with anything God does, it takes time for these changes within us to happen. Yesterday, Ingrids’ daughter, Katrine, (Margaret’s mama), told me a phrase her dad’s mom would use in German, “Jeden Tag ein bißchen” (everyday a little). This phrase applies to how God works in us. My prayer is that your life would find the daily changes God has given me. God took His time and He is still taking time to do His work in my life and in our marriage. Paul described this process well when he wrote, “As we behold Christ’s face, we are changed from one degree of glory into another” (2 Corinthians 3:18). A little bit each day is all we need.
