I wrote a post last week about things that change the older I get. Today, I'm going to expound upon one of the things I listed; "The older I get, the more I realize that I am not running the show." I would like to think this is how I feel. This is how I should feel. The more I mature, the more I should see God working in my life and trust Him with my live. The More i should realize he is "running the show" and I should one, stop worrying about things and two, not fret when things don't go my …
A little blog/group housekeeping…
Hey there! As many of you know, Aimee has graciously given me the reigns of this group, and I couldn't be more thrilled! As I'm trying to get my mind wrapped around the in's and outs of this group, I did notice that many of you are using an older version of our blog button. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but Aimee had a newer button designed (or did it herself) and it's FABULOUS! I would absolutely love for each of you to put one of the buttons on your sidebar! Check them …

How God Is Using My Marriage To Change Me
My husband and I will be married a year next month. I have often praised God for providing me with such a kind and loving companion. But lately, I am thankful for how God is using my marriage to change me.Since getting married, I have learned a lot about myself. I have learned that I am impatient. I have learned that I can be passive aggressive. I have trouble forgiving and accepting forgiveness. I can be selfish. I knew before I was married that I wasn’t perfect, but marriage has made me …
