Thank you, it is a blessing to me today. I am encouraged by your waiting and the real process you share about here on your blog. Not easy but God is always right in His ways. Not easy to grapple with in real life. <br />I am now also waiting. I am not waiting for a new member of the family but on political choices all around me which force me and my family into solitude for which I wait to be released. I have friends as you may well know already from my mom whom are waiting too in captivity and the process is the same for us all as we submit to Him who created us and whom we have given our lives; we are not good at waiting. We are not naturally good at going at another's pace. But keeping step with God is right and has it's awesome benefits. I am blessed by the blessings you freely bestow on those God has given you to love and shepherd, and am reminded to bless those I have been given in my waiting as I am leaning hard into my savior for Him to be my patience as I am unable to produce any more. As my soul yearns for freedom I remind it to be still and wait for God, is theHe is the everlasting God.<br />May God bless you today!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848602351510580682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950059392664203140.post-15199406352076350542013-06-06T23:34:15.246-07:002013-06-06T23:34:15.246-07:00lovely!lovely!SLMW8MANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920990998559419696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950059392664203140.post-7713148636397486192013-06-04T09:46:39.509-07:002013-06-04T09:46:39.509-07:00Beautiful telling, roomie.

I was just telling R that I can't wait to have cable again, there is so much I feel like I am missing when family and friends atart talking about things. However, now I am reminded that my simple life of reading and spending that time in the evening with my children doing homework and reading past their previous years bedtime is much more precious then tv. We have 1 show, ONE, that we watch every week and that is Parenthood. More so because it hits close to home. Thanks for the reminder that we are happier and in a better place not having one and two shows a night to watch. The quality time is inmeasurable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11286603511046151147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950059392664203140.post-48634288656244268192011-01-12T00:51:27.560-08:002011-01-12T00:51:27.560-08:00Praying for a healthy baby or babies.Praying for a healthy baby or babies.SLMW8MANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920990998559419696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950059392664203140.post-65519231551965025022011-01-10T15:42:52.588-08:002011-01-10T15:42:52.588-08:00So glad you wrote this post, I love it!

I know it takes us Barnhill billies a while to get on with the lastest techo stuff. But I am here now. <br />This post reminded me of something Francis Chan said in Crazy Love...It is God's Movie. There may be a little glimpse of us as the camera pans the crowd scene, but really the movie of our life is His...for His glory and His Fame as the song says.<br />I can remember when this really hurt my pride...stung my senese of worth and useablity, but God has done somthing new in me these last few years and it all began with a little desire in my heart to be average. This little thought now when I think it makes me feel all gooey inside like when I get to go to the art supply store, or my husband gives me a great compliment. It is not unlike love. It is growing because I am learning to find happiness in Him and in the small world I live in. To know that is enough. We often snuff out this little seed of love when we strive, and reach for fame to be world changers. It is enough to live with Him, for Him and because of Him. Nothing more is required...then if he orchestrates the spotlight to shine on you and your little role in life...make sure you are looking to Him and everyone sees you worshiping your king. He is Marvelous!<br />SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848602351510580682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950059392664203140.post-78877927853819242162010-04-28T17:46:08.390-07:002010-04-28T17:46:08.390-07:00Thank you for sharing:)Thank you for sharing:)jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16767029674178003916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950059392664203140.post-66177031429302858972010-04-27T17:04:02.954-07:002010-04-27T17:04:02.954-07:00Beautiful post Christy!!!

I don't like shopping with the kids in general... all my good intentions of it being educational end in disaster anyway. But, WinCo is just always the worst. I'm really not sure what the difference is. I went there consistently when we had no kids and I remember I still felt a little pressured. Maybe my brain is not wired the way they lay things out there. Who knows! I just needed to vent my ridiculously horribe (worst ever actually) trip to the grocery store and I needed someone to blame so WinCo gets it! :)Rooted Renaissance Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494275732259460708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950059392664203140.post-50250266391652815672009-12-26T10:33:00.537-08:002009-12-26T10:33:00.537-08:00I am so sorry that you had such a bad experience t...I am so sorry that you had such a bad experience there. I don't see how being at Fred Meyer or Safeway would be much better except that you know the store lay out better. When kids are tired and the store is crowded it is not a pleasant expierence any where. In a few years WinCo may be a more enjoyable then the kids can actually bag the grogeries for you. I like them learning about what to put together and how not to squish the bananas and my kids do enjoy helping me there. <br />DianaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
