You are honest and have a good heart... and you're human so we can totally relate!!! I think all the things you do can fall under being a good steward of what you were given on earth... that's important. Faith can be a quiet reverence or a soul moving experience... each is just as wonderful in God's eyes and both will happen when you love Him.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529749426074359749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-43972057459742417592011-05-25T13:27:59.061-07:002011-05-25T13:27:59.061-07:00Thank you so much for sharing this... it's a g...Thank you so much for sharing this... it's a great reminder and so encouraging!

And you forget we're all humans, sinners, craving for that something to fill our souls. I'm a believer too! And this post showed me we all go through those rough places sometimes. Right now I'm going through a break-up with a guy I thought was my future husband. And looking at your blog I wished I could have something like what u have. But God's showing me the separation was for the best, and He has and wants the best for me. So I thanks you for helping me heal a little more. For showing that we all feel like that sometimes, and still He loves us and can't wait for us to sing from the soul. And we're getting there. :)<br />Blessings & Hugs from Costa Rica.<br />U are beautiful!!Priscilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07964222108076831648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-4950173335237353192011-05-23T20:08:13.032-07:002011-05-23T20:08:13.032-07:00can i give you all a virtual hug?!!!can i give you all a virtual hug?!!!Rubyellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12665592531250476367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-43539597922239772752011-05-23T19:10:56.125-07:002011-05-23T19:10:56.125-07:00beautiful couple and family!

All of his books are fabulous...he is all about becoming the best version of yourself...in other words, living it well. Being all that God created us to be. Living with passion and purpose.<br /><br />I, too, have words, or phrases that jump out at me. At mass this morning, it was REMIND...and ABIDE.<br />I love God. I live for Him. But not always...I need to constantly REMIND myself.<br />And I want to abide by Him...and live in His house...live for Him...and Him alone.<br /><br />Your blog is, for me, a reminder of Gods love. Your talent to write, and share and your eye for detail and vintage and all things beautiful are a God given talent to you...your family, your honesty, your marriage, your faith, your creativity...all inspire and intrigue me to become the best version of myself. To live it well.<br /><br />Your shared life is so very much an example of living the Gospel. Not speaking it. But living it.<br />And that is a beautiful thing.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15985522830610197074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-29760857094644674202011-05-23T09:46:24.758-07:002011-05-23T09:46:24.758-07:00I want my soul to sing too!!
