What if the next tumbler is even harder?!? Can we get too comfortable in the tumbler we are in??<br /><br />Thoughts I am now pondering since reading your post. Again .. Very good!!<br /><br />(Sent over by Cheryl but have been reading your blog for sometime. I think it was the first year you did the Christmas song title theme and Laura joined. It was fun and you were both so creative :)<br /><br />~Kristi~the ten of us~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12510273571130395495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28541038.post-46851071017689216972011-01-27T13:37:29.320-06:002011-01-27T13:37:29.320-06:00Beautiful, my friend.

I feel like if I can't go out and make the most beautiful piece of artwork I've ever made, I might as well not even try. But who cares? The reason I'm an artist is because I enjoy the outlet to express myself for me. I once said I wanted to be an artist, but I'd never sell my work, and now I think I have to be some hot shot who's work is all the rage and a hot commodity. Sigh... <br /><br />Thank you, again.Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982052746962496182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28541038.post-25674906687698630572011-01-22T15:51:31.413-06:002011-01-22T15:51:31.413-06:00Jamie--

Its hard not to compare your spiritual life with past times when all you had to think about was your spiritual life, school, and other personal endeavors. Thank you for reminding me that God is the one who does the changing and growing in us. For a reformed person, it should be so easy to remember, but I so struggle always with this idea that I am in charge and have all the control over everything in my life, when its really just fake control. Praise God that I do not have the real control, because I fail constantly. Its so much better to have a perfect person holding the reins.Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982052746962496182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28541038.post-17431793222296068632011-01-22T15:32:13.900-06:002011-01-22T15:32:13.900-06:00Books sounds great, fab post as well!

A few close friends of mine & I always make this comment: it is about perfection, not progress. i can work on making progress, but perfection is only Jesus, not me. :)hilarylarsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378456893589821624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28541038.post-78240836643494544622011-01-22T08:46:48.314-06:002011-01-22T08:46:48.314-06:00I enjoyed reading this post. I am all or nothing ...I enjoyed reading this post. I am all or nothing person as well, and have a hard time with balance.<br /><br />One Sunday at church, I think you were outside with S, Chad specifically addressed moms of little ones near the end of his sermon about Wisdom (Prov 8). And encouraged us that, according to Scripture, she is calling out to us in the chaos. And although we aren't able to 'get away from it all,' and have a whole lot of 'quiet time', we should be encouraged. Because he said, we aren't called to lived cloistered away and that real life happens amidst the noise, and that, by His grace, He is right there with us.<br /><br />I am looking forward to reading "Loving the Little Years," it sounds to good!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759869157457848081noreply@blogger.com
