I totally struggle with this one a lot! Thanks for the encouragement – I think God’s been trying to teach me about the truth that He is ENOUGH so I don’t need to be chasing after all these things that perish!

Oh, I can so relate! I often find myself in the midst of a big ole pity party. I get so hung up in finding my worth in what I do rather than who I am…and feeling like all I do lately seems pretty worthless. Thanks for the reminder – Actions first, feelings follow.

You’re not alone! I envy others over the silliest things at times. The thing that gets me out of it, is part being thankful for what God gives me, and also part keeping an eternal perspective. My problems and “feelings” seem so trite when I compare what I’m thinking to what my God views as important in terms of eternity.

BTW, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one with “fuzzy” floors. Have a great weekend!

Hey there friend…let me just tell you again how much I appreciate your REALness! Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share the “yuck” stuff…thanks for not trying to give excuses for it or “spiritualize” it away…I’m so thankful for you!!!

All these emotions are human nature. We all have them, some just handle them better than others. The best we can do is to ask God to help us overcome them.
You’re not alone, I promise. Consider it a test! God likes to keep us on our toes.

I don’t like to admit but if does get to me some times as well. I think you did the best thing to over come it. Really the only thing that can overcome such a strong emotion. Thank God for His strength and goodness.

Green eyed monster – no. Droopy blue eyed depression monster – yes. I just feel so alone and so out of whack and Satan is really convincing me that no one likes me and that I don’t actually fit in. Somewhere deep down, I know I do and I know I am loved, but for whatever reason, I feel like I am stuck! Stuck in this stinky pit of saddness and blah! I need God. I have been praying a lot…but could use prayer from others! Bleh!

Marla! I love the look of your new website! I am entering to win the book not because I am pregrent lol don’t get too excited but because a friend of mind has found out recently that she is expecting. Unfortunately she is not in a steady relationship and really struggling. i’m sure she would appreciate your prayers as she is preparing to be a single mommy.

I struggle with this green issue sometimes also and it is so comforting to hear another Christian talk about it. Thank you so much!
