  2. Hi Andrea,
    visiting your blog from UBP#14. Nice to meet you. I took a look around your neat blog and have to tell you that we share a common place to reflect on God and have some quiet time--the bath tub : )
    Most folks I know take showers, but I always like to relax in the tub and always have my "tub Bible" next to me (a Bible that has been dropped in the tub a few times and the pages are bit water marked)
    God bless,
    Gail (Bible Love Notes)

    1. Gail, my baths have become such a great place for me to regroup after crazy days of homeschooling and diapers and craziness! I started taking one bubble bath a week since the new year and wonder why I haven't done this for years!!

  9. I loved reading your story! The quote that caught me was, "The consequences to desiring our own pursuits can unravel your entire life and squander the purpose He has called you to. " I totally agree- I think we drive ourselves crazy with anxiety, control, perfection, individualism, and more, trying to avoid the will of God because we have "better plans." Thanks for sharing- look forward to reading more!
