(Also, funny, I used to say exactly the same thing to *my* children--God chose their mother, knowing exactly the right one for them--He makes no mistakes:) God has made each of us, and it is important to accept our "design." Another idea I subscribe to is, "I'll focus on deepening the message and let God widen the ministry." (if He so chooses)<br />I'm reminded of this saying, too: "I will do my best, and leave the rest to God." Maybe cliches, but true, nonetheless. Thanks for your comments--I'm always blessed by your thoughts and words.<br />Have a great day!<br />WendyWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230575436747893912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858170935046417472.post-84290134126226567012010-02-04T10:01:18.762-06:002010-02-04T10:01:18.762-06:00Wendy,

They weren't the reasons for me to start the website and might get me distracted. If someone is interested in reading fine, but if not, I'll still continue on because I benefit from the effort.<br /><br />Like you said we are all different but that is the way God designed us. When my younger children would say I wish you would do this like ____________, I always pointed out that the Lord planned me for them. "I'm the perfect mom for each of my children, not that I'm perfect, but God knew what they needed. That includes the good, the bad and the ugly." That doesn’t mean I don’t strive to do the best I can though.<br /><br />Berean WifeBerean Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10658068276440524205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858170935046417472.post-28530067630711516162010-02-03T22:28:56.836-06:002010-02-03T22:28:56.836-06:00Oh, thank you, dear friends!

Smile with the knowing of what you're speaking about. <br />I've felt "less than" before and then I have to shake myself and realize that I'm not blogging "for" anyone other than my Father. He blesses me with the ability to share a story that's unique. As the same with every one else.<br /><br />While accolades are nice, I'd never want them if it means I lose sight of my calling....being acceptable to God.<br /><br />Be abundantly blessed :)<br /><br />KelaKelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074115439003700205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858170935046417472.post-4426946324587404662010-02-03T18:37:35.427-06:002010-02-03T18:37:35.427-06:00Thank you, Denise.
