Just rereading that statement almost brings tears to my eyes again. It's something I needed reminded of! Bethanie, sounds good to me! Though, our shower is currently kaput, so I'll have to keep having mine in the car! Georgiana, I’m so glad if it blesses you too. Just rereading that statement almost brings tears to my eyes again.

Bethanie, sounds good to me! Though, our shower is currently kaput, so I’ll have to keep having mine in the car!

Often I'm standing there letting the warm water wash away the stress of the day, and the Lord speaks to me. Crying,singing,praising the Lord-in the shower.

I love you so much and wish I had more days in the week, and hours in the day to somehow show it more. It is wonderful and He's blessed me with all of you!

It is wonderful and He’s blessed me with all of you!

Your blog today just shrieks of Romans 8:28 and 2 Cor. 4:15. Another reason for me to give thanks. And your blog friends are such a blessing to me too. 'Aint life wonderful' with Him at the wheel?

Thank you so much for telling me that you're letting it sink in. I sometimes wonder if all the layers of what I want it to say, are coming across. Sometimes personal "epiphanies" only make sense to those they happen to! I appreciate ya! Beck! Thank you! I will never forget my first visit to your site, when you were banging your head against a wall due to wasting time reading a poorly-written inspirational novel. Since then, I've seen your point more and more often (sadly!), but (hastening to say!) still think there are a ton of great Christian fiction novels out there! ;) So all that to say, your compliment, regarding my non-fiction, really means a lot! Geri, thank you! I published this that morning, went to church and thought off and on all day...did that make sense at all, or did it sound like a big whine fest...as if I believed the whole Christian life was One Big Drag, which I don't! I'm so glad to come back and re-read it and see you all's comments, and know it "worked" out. Thanks so much for all your encouragement! Colleen, love you too!
