Its hard to remember that the one who's opinion really matters is God. So fortunate we are that he is so merciful, patient, and has promised " he that hath began a good work in us will perform it unto the day of Jesus Christ." <BR/>Thankyou for your post. It was a good reminder for me.ExploreColoradohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07959963840576012067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17242998.post-44027287684885900152009-01-17T04:14:00.000+13:002009-01-17T04:14:00.000+13:00:) Y'all are SUCH a blessing...I have missed my b...:) Y'all are SUCH a blessing...I have missed my blog-fellowship.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903079434457378243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17242998.post-19229851657606599382009-01-16T16:06:00.000+13:002009-01-16T16:06:00.000+13:00Heather, That is such a great post!

I have tried to have the perfect house, kids, school work, and body.(Yeah that body part, not going ever happen!) When I do this, God ALWAYS humbles me by having someone come over when my house is not tidy, my kids act horrible durring Mass(like lifting up a tooshie to toot or burping), getting your body measured and weighed in front of your personal trainer. The list goes on! The one thing I have learned is that the people we think have it perfect are really the ones who don't really don't. They struggle like the rest of us and beg for God's mercy. I guess we see what we want to. That is what our society has taught us. I still think we all should take pictures of our dirty house, the dinner that burned or the school "craft" that didn't go over to well and post them on our blogs! I think we all could use a piece of "humble pie" once and awhile!<BR/>Blessings!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17783786616306138851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17242998.post-78333925589582488402009-01-16T11:47:00.000+13:002009-01-16T11:47:00.000+13:00It is hard not to compare ourselves to others.

There is no such thing as a perfect person, just those that hide 'it' better. Which is sad. I don't believe we should all go airing our dirty laundry, but oh the freedom to share a pain or short coming in hopes of our fellow Christians taking it before the Lord and the Lord only!<BR/>Heather, your last several post have been great. I love the way you express yourself. <BR/>Enjoy the day and those precious kids you got!!!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17373730712059651436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17242998.post-16903653714013688742009-01-16T09:37:00.000+13:002009-01-16T09:37:00.000+13:00Heather, God has put "perfect" people in my life, ...Heather, God has put "perfect" people in my life, the ones who seem truly perfect anyway. I have tried to teach my girls to be themselves, don't be different at church than you are at home. It takes to much energy to adopt a persona for a situation. I won't say I am 100% comfortable with myself cause I'm not, I am and will continue to be a work in progress. After almost 22 years of marriage I find things to improve on ALL the time in being a wife. Thank goodness that both God and Wade and the girls love me, warts and all. Satan would have us to believe we are not good enough that we should fit into a certain personality or a certain way of doing things but there is GREAT peace in knowing we can all do things differently but still end up with the results we want. Praying for you and I am VERY happy to read your blog again...Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817178907594109794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17242998.post-81910092111805310022009-01-16T08:23:00.000+13:002009-01-16T08:23:00.000+13:00Thank you for the encouragement:) *sigh* I'm so gl...Thank you for the encouragement:) *sigh* I'm so glad I can just sort of let it all out on here and worry about what you think later ;)...Isn't God is so patient? I hope to be around to "visit" with you all later! I am trying to (don't laugh) use the computer in moderation...okay, I chuckled, but I'm serious!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903079434457378243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17242998.post-84210651403161268712009-01-16T08:09:00.000+13:002009-01-16T08:09:00.000+13:00Heather,I'm glad you've started posting again.

A humble and contrite heart is all he wants..one of submission to His will and to be ready and willing. I think you do. I think you are REAL. Be yourself dear Saint and know that you are contributing so much to the testimony of our LORD by letting Him work that perfection...day by day in you. I like what my husband says..We are ALL ...diamonds...in the rough! After 34 years saved..."He's still workin' on me"...I plan to post on "seasons" of a Christian's life...you must be in one of them now. Wait patiently, trust...and be yes, content in who God has made you, how he has made you and rest in Him.<BR/><BR/>I think you are beautiful..and I think your husband must think so too..he married YOU! Nose and all!<BR/><BR/>Hugs sweet friend...<BR/>HOPE (forgive me for the long comment)HOPEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593612195595034233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17242998.post-30655675387300113462009-01-16T05:17:00.000+13:002009-01-16T05:17:00.000+13:00You are blogging again!

I think it for me, is wanting Christianity, not a form what I call *churchianity*....I have had a few REAL friends in my life...and I tell you, those are the ones that I ultimately know I can trust. I will say Heather, we are in the process and isn't it wonderful that the Lord knows our heart and cuts right through when necessary and also brings comfort, through others and especially HIS WORD..sure helps me to get things back in focus....when I get my eyes off of my stupid self.....oh that old FLESH...<BR/>Deby~~Debyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288057520112643825noreply@blogger.com
