Does that make any sense? :) Seriously, I admire you for what you're doing. In my heart of hearts, I know I could do it if God called me to, but I'm really glad He hasn't called me to it --- NOT because I think you're weird!!! But because I don't think I could handle the pressure. I would a terrible job and then never forgive myself for the terrible job I did. I love the way you claim God's grace in your life. I wish I were more like you.<br /><br />I also really wish I had done this Daniel study. You girls are doing some great stuff!Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284165488156415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14425061.post-620029298546397932010-02-09T21:15:16.139-05:002010-02-09T21:15:16.139-05:00Girl.

I have LOVED watching/walking in the homeschooling journey with you. <br /><br />This post was perfect for my heart today...<br /><br />ps--I ran a 5K Saturday and won 3rd place in my age group!

I have felt many of the same things that you write of. Many. <br />I love this: "I'm learning that my desire for God to use me in a big way! to do big things! (read: in a very public way with myself at the center) takes my focus away from the truth: God's willingness to work in my life IS the big thing." LOVE THIS!!<br />And totally needed to hear it. Again. :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144241206876112473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14425061.post-5473279971833528732010-02-09T12:23:38.655-05:002010-02-09T12:23:38.655-05:00I really relate to what you're saying on so ma...I really relate to what you're saying on so many levels.
