I could easily spend a whole week humiliating myself by taking pictures of the messy stuff in my life!

It happens often. (We are still working on potty training arrgh.) That makes me the worst, I hate messes that I didn't make but have to clean up.<BR/>I never thought about THAT when I was dreaming to be a mama. ;)<BR/>What I love about this blogging thing is I can lay it out there, bare it and know that their are others in the exact place as me, only how they got their is different. I like knowing that I can support someone when they need it, I like hearing the wisdom from each person. I think it is pretty special how we have this blog circle...I have never met ANY of my pastor's wives and I know plenty and yet I have 4 friends online that are! (My friend Molly doesn't count cause I met HER first and her Hubby was never MY pastor, he was my drama coach.)Sara@iSasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12957397803528050139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856599582815103185.post-9927525585323978792009-01-29T08:51:00.000-06:002009-01-29T08:51:00.000-06:00Beautifully said.

It does feed our natural tendency to compare and think another woman has it so much more together than we do. But the truth is that we're all the same. We have strengths and weaknesses and despite every fault and failure we are loved, loved, loved...wholly, fully, eternally. It's mind blowing. Thank YOU for your honesty and this beautiful reminder today.Heather of the EOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607422301391841377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856599582815103185.post-40267613127106926722009-01-29T08:08:00.000-06:002009-01-29T08:08:00.000-06:00well said...it's nice to remind ourselves of that!...well said...it's nice to remind ourselves of that!
