For me, parenting is the first time that I have felt so very insecure in myself...thus instead of looking to God, I look at other women. "Oh my...she homeschools, has 8 kids and creates cute birthday party buniting. I have 3...use public schools and forgot to order my 8-year olds cake...what kind of mother am I?" One that loves her spouse and children so much and has completely different gifts and talents!!! Thank you, Sibi, for your encouragement!!!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17633704862629969672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-36387959221063085852013-04-15T17:21:19.887-05:002013-04-15T17:21:19.887-05:00I so need to hear this often!!!

This was something i just thought was a nice sentiment and only realized just recently that it is one of the gifts the Holy Spirit. It is a gift that you also posses. I see others who are feeling down on themselves, who compate themselves to another and feel worthless and it breaks my heart because I view them as awesome children of God who have so many wonderful gifts.I have told so many of my dear sweet friends these words that you have so eloquently written here time after time. I truly believe every word and try to share this message not only with friends but also to the children I teach and even strangers. Some have accepted these words, while others have turned away from me unable to accept that they are beautifully made in God's own image and possess the exact right gifts he meant to use through them to bring glory to him. I have sometimes felt in myself the feeling that maybe I am wrong. Maybe I am wrong to encourage and encourage and encourage. But I know that I am right! I know it, because I know HE put those thoughts in me just as he put then in you. I feel your post today is an answer to prayer. I feel God brings people into our lives just at the right time because he's got something really great he is planning on doing. I can't wait to get to the Pearl Event III to meet you and share in worship with you of our most wonderful heavenly Father.{A*very} Blessed Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01344878658757561489noreply@blogger.com
