We fill our lives with so many things, yes-even good things...but we need to first be filled with HIM.<br />I know I've shared how tough that first year with Brayden was. I think satan can isolate us when we're not in fellowship with other Christians and more importantly with our Father in heaven. I felt Him pulling on me, pulling on my heart, asking for more time. <br />I have SO far to go, but I understand this feeling you speak of. There's no place like "home" in a church that feels like just that.<br />Your writing is unparalleled- still waiting on that book of yours ;) for real!!!! Truly awesome writing, my friend.OUR WILD ZOO!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06475955406192671635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5449551179146558035.post-47877939165722751802010-08-17T15:16:31.315-06:002010-08-17T15:16:31.315-06:00Sara,

I have been in a similar spot and have to remind myself that He is JEALOUS for me every day. He is jealous for me. He deserves me. And not just a little part of me. ALL of me. <br />The wonderful thing is that He is always there. Waiting for his prodigal daughter to come home with open arms.<br />Love and hugs to you and thank you for posting this!staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691383741205469117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5449551179146558035.post-50668174168495865522010-08-16T22:08:15.854-06:002010-08-16T22:08:15.854-06:00I know God very personaly.

I don't think I could forgive the stares or unkind words from strangers with out him. I don't think I could be the mother and wife I want to be with out him. These past several months have been hard while Bubba is recovering from his last surgeries.... I have not been able to go as often as I would LOVE to. I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (like Anonymous above) and am grateful for the chances that I have to serve and learn through serving. <br />You have a heart of Gold and God knows that. You are in my heart and prayers.<br />BIG HUGSPresley familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906362945920064243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5449551179146558035.post-87239865055050874132010-08-16T20:59:05.772-06:002010-08-16T20:59:05.772-06:00Beautiful.

In other words- my time spent doing things for God was greater than my time spent with God. I think that it is so hard with these little children who need us from waking until bed time to spend as much time with God as we would like to...at least that's how I feel most of the time.Beth@Not a Bow in Sighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951201240926600134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5449551179146558035.post-1321678441484569522010-08-16T10:46:06.015-06:002010-08-16T10:46:06.015-06:00Your little white church sounds exactly like the C...Your little white church sounds exactly like the Church I attend and love dearly (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) I was raised Catholic but only came to realize the true depth of the potential of my relationship to God a few years ago.
