I've been thinking about reading Feminine Appeal for a while and you've encouraged me to do so. I plan to add it to my summer reading list! Thanks for a great post.

The farther into "Me-ness" I go, the more resentful, angry, and "poor me" I get. The closer my walk with Christ, the farther I get from the "Me-ness". You would think I would never wander away, but it is amazing how we can get off track and lose focus. What a blessing that He is always there to receive us back! Thank you for this post!!

Right now I'm 29 weeks pregnant with my fourth, homeschooling the older two, dealing with an impatient two-year-old and trying to take care of ministry responsibilities at church and keep up at home. Then I came down with a cold this week. Prime pity part circumstances. I can get really grumpy. I needed the reminder to serve selflessly represent the gospel well, especially to my children.

I've been having a rough time lately just figuring things out and am trying to keep the right mindset while figuring it all out. God has brought me encouragement lately by giving me two wonderful gifts from others that I can really use to help me in my life, that were SO unexpected and SO helpful to me in my role as a wife and mother.

How encouraging it is to know that our work done in obscurity is every bit as important to God (Psalm 78:70). What a wonderful post! Thank you for the reminder.

I've been focussing on 'poor me' and not on what I need to be doing. Being a wife and mother. Right now, that is what I have on my path and I'd better give it my best effort because time is short. One thing I struggle with is comparing myself to others and trying to keep up with that, rather than what God has given me in my family and in my own individual personality. I really liked your post a few days ago about "doing the next thing". There are things I wish I could or would rather be doing. Or, I have so many things bogging me down, I just don't know where to start. So I've been telling myself to just do the next thing. Don't worry about tomorrow, just do today. Being 8 months pregnant, this is a good thing. Yesterday it was a game of Monopoly with my kids. Right now it's folding a mound of laundry. But it won't get done unless I start right? :-) Have a good day! Yes, that is so me too right now. I've been focussing on 'poor me' and not on what I need to be doing. Being a wife and mother.
