constantly learning...

life can be so messy

and i seem to do an awfully good job at messing things up sometimes

you know you have done something wrong when you feel 'dirty'

"wallowing in it" helps me

it helps me see the dirt

taste the dirt

feel the dirt

life lessons sure keep me reminded of how important it is to always just be me........no matter what

no matter what others may think of you.....it is always better to be honest with yourself

no matter what

I find it so encouraging to see how our past inspirations, influences and mistakes can form who we are today in such an unexpected way

some wonderful women have helped me to see my mistakes and where I need to go in my life -
they have helped me to remember who I really am
and who I shouldn't be

by force if necessary

thank you

to sum up:
I am permitting truth to empower and change

  3. You've touched on the feelings of all of us out here Anne Marie, and I know from who you are that it is Christ's truth that empowers you. You share your love for Him so well, and it radiates out in everything you write. Your family is blessed to have you :)

  4. Its a result of seeking after God, desiring Him to change us, allowing Him to use what is needed to bring the truth of change, its a tender, gentle heart that sees the dirt, tends it and watches for good fruit to result.
    Thank you for your heart, I am always blessed by your posts.

  5. First...your new blog banner with baby Danny says it all...sums up who you are in one photo. Second...the photo in this post of Mary Mother of God conveys the gentleness that my heart always seeks after. "It is his kindness that leads us to repentance." You are in a good place.
