I have not checked out any blogs in a while and for some reason I have been "in a funk" today and I feel that Christ has brought me to your page. I love to serve the Lord and I love to serve my husband.. but I fear that sometimes it does not show. This could not have been better timing for me. By the way- I really appreciate your blog. You seem like an all around amazing person, but you also seem real. I can totally relate to you. I do not feel like you are hiding under your blog! Thank you for your posts! Talk about Conviction!

I feel like I've been searching for you for the last year! I desire to be the woman you describe, but I feel so unequipped and don't know where to start. I'm on my knees now asking the Lord to grow that desire, to guide me as I strive to live a life that glorifies him. Thank you for sharing your journey. This is my new favorite blog.

I really needed this right now. I am a young mother, who loves my role at home, but am really feeling the pressure right now to finish my degree and throw my babies in daycare. Many of your posts, such as this one, are so encouraging for me to be what God has called me to be, and that being a stay at home mom, loving wife, and caretaker is "enough" no matter what other people may think.

I love love love being a mom but it is definitely a hard job. Sometimes it's easy to get lost in the mundane and forget how lucky I am that God chose ME out of all the mommies in the world to take care of my kids. Thank you so much for this gentle reminder!

This is true for all of us, isn't it? Ok Nola, get ready for the gardening posts... :) You're welcome, Jess! *HUGS* Sandi, you would have been a welcome third wheel. :) And great point about doing the right thing with the wrong motives! Cynthia, too bad we didn't get to connect! That would have been great! I'm so glad that you and your family were so encouraged by it, as we were!
