Great post. Thanks for sharing the insight. I can relate to some, as I'm still a 20 something single.

I love Kale chips. I fell in love with them the first time I ever tried them. I actually enjoy using Garlic Olive Oil to kick up the flavor a bit.

Thank you for your upfront honesty. I would love to know what you do to have your internet usage monitored.

I used to let my past control my future. It was hard to get out of the victim role. I had to learn that even though I was a victim, I didn't have to stay a victim.

Now I celebrate that I am a victor and conqueror in Christ!

Thanks so much for the encouragement.

"I wonder how many good men and women have lost the ability to dream because their heads are simply too battered and bruised to see past the wall?"

So true. As a leader, I kept trying to do everything on my own. God had to humble in many ways before I started to learn to ask for help. I had too many walls built up in my own heart to break through other stagnant walls.

Thanking God He has me back on track with wonderful accountability and others to follow so that I can be the leader He created me to be.

My recent post What Would Jesus Tip

My heart comes alive when I watch the lives of women I mentor change. My heart comes alive when I get the opportunity to write about things I love. My heart comes alive when I begin to dream about the awesome things God is going to do in my life. My heart comes alive when I get the opportunity to share my testimony with others. It's not about me, it's about what God has done in me. Great post.

Sounds like we have a lot in common in our pasts. So grateful God has brought you through it. Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. Psalm 34:5

Thank you for this post. Too often we compare ourselves to others. I agree with you that it must break God's heart. She is a beautiful little girl.

Love this. I've been searching for that cabin myself. Starbucks or my bedroom seem to be the two most predominate places to write. I would love, though, to seclude myself for three days in a one bedroom cabin surrounded by beauty. I could write the whole book in three days, I know it.

Way to stay accountable. Get in the car and get a move on it! :)

Good luck
