Her message, or His message through her, is so powerful, whenever I read the words she spoke I can hear her speaking them all over again and they sink deep and they make me so weepy. I never expected to have such a deep experience at Relevant - God really met all of us there, didn't he? Such a blessing.Kairahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015499511568725750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-81910383754445133432010-11-03T17:50:33.164-04:002010-11-03T17:50:33.164-04:00Monica,

You encourage me so much in the things you do to seek & serve God, in the little ways as well as the big. I love your gift of hospitality and the way your gift for craft making is such a blessing to others and in making your house a 'home'.<br /><br />I really felt to tell you how beautiful your heart is, you are a virtuous woman indeed! When you soak up God's love, you can't help but feel beautiful ; )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-55739846159596433992010-10-27T18:47:22.728-04:002010-10-27T18:47:22.728-04:00He is always asking us to surrender something more...He is always asking us to surrender something more isn't He. It is the way He brings us closer, grows us, burns away the dross. It is only by emptying us of our selves that we can be filled up with Him. Thank You for sharing your heart Monica, and your experiances at the meetings.asnipofgoodnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17044277532211684597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-91260634379105339212010-10-27T16:30:41.297-04:002010-10-27T16:30:41.297-04:00Monica,

You remind me where I need to be ....in God's word.<br />I know I always stop by your blog because more often than not you are blogging about something that God wants me to read about. You share what he impresses on your heart so beautifully every day.<br />Praying you will let go of being so hard on yourself. I too suffered from this when I had littles.<br />God loves you for who you are, just the way you are.<br />Oh, and I didn't see where the painting was ripped or torn anywhere...It's beautiful to me.Cherylhttp://quiltingmemoriesfortomorrow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-75188125257943086792010-10-27T12:31:44.789-04:002010-10-27T12:31:44.789-04:00Just the others have said here, you are a beautifu...Just the others have said here, you are a beautiful person with a Godly heart.

I think of you as such a beautiful person that it is hard to realize that you didn't have the same vision of yourself. I am talking about beauty of spirit (not that you aren't physically beautiful, too!) because that stands out so much in everything I know about you. The question of surrender is so important. I need to think about that. God is working on me. I am so thankful that He is working on me and hasn't given up. I would have given up on me a long time ago. <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful spirit with us. You are a gift from God.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02883096095980241281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-4884865156415496022010-10-27T09:41:48.155-04:002010-10-27T09:41:48.155-04:00this is beautiful Monica, and you are beautiful, w...this is beautiful Monica, and you are beautiful, what you write is beautiful.

Thank you so much for sharing. I think that God has a way of teaching us in the most unusual ways. Who would think that a simple picture could speak a novel to you or even to me and now all your blog readers. He knows our hearts and wants us desperately to see our selves the way He sees us. I think it is a continual effort to do, but with Him we can.Blissful & Domestichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05725781323332766843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-45701006980731808332010-10-27T08:56:39.399-04:002010-10-27T08:56:39.399-04:00It looks pretty amazing in that spot, too.

I have been reading this eweek, and go throuought the day thinking about the topics youve discussed. I kept thinking yesterday...Does God REALLY have the first place in my heart?<br />Today, you touched on a personal matter Ive been struggling with, and also my daughter. God sees us as beautiful, why cant we?<br />Something to think about, and to pray over. Have a very blesssed day.

I want to see the beauty that He sees. To see myself the way He sees me."<br /><br />It was a moment of holding my breath when I read this statement. I am so hard on myself. I am quiet and not overly confident in myself. I always struggle with feeling like I am good enough. <br /><br />After a very hard day this week I left for some time for myself. I am sitting in the parking lot pouring out my heart in a journal and crying out to Him when my sister calls me. I then pour it all out to her and after listening to me she says "Wendi, you are to hard on yourself." She reminds me that I am not the only one that feels this way. That life is hard and we are not expected to be perfect; only to do our best. <br /><br />Oh, I needed to hear that from her. It was just another reminder of how great our God is. He knew what I needed and sent my sister to help me get back on the right track. Just as He knew hearing that you struggle with some of the same things would be comforting. Another reminder that we are not alone!Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547001714523524390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-19727277681650252382010-10-27T08:02:48.406-04:002010-10-27T08:02:48.406-04:00Funny how HE does things like that..using a pictur...Funny how HE does things like that..using a picture to make a point..yes I feel broken all the time.Tina Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644273440522679531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-82531319350389030792010-10-27T06:50:21.811-04:002010-10-27T06:50:21.811-04:00What a Word from the Lord, today.

I am one of those people that anything that needs done, I'm there with my hand raised,saying "I'll do it." I was taking on too much. My spiritual life and family life was suffering. God (and my husband) desired me to let go of some responsibilities, and focus on what He wants of me. I have not given up everything, just did some weeding. God showed me that there are those whom He has called to those jobs, who were being robbed of blessings by saying "No, not me." <br />I'm still very active at church, but just had to say, "No" to what was not in God's plan of service for me. <br />Monica, your blog is ALWAYS a ministering tool in my day. Never doubt that. As SAHM's, often our community in a day is the blogs we read. Your words from the Lord are always inspiring to me. Thanks, with love!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
