When you are tempted to second guess....

When you are tempted to second guess the past, live in regret or wish for a do-over, remember that God sees you. You are known. He remembers. The details of your life aren’t random. ~ Shelly Miller,  Redemptions Beauty.com

You don't have to convince them.

be patient with the ones you love, who may not get it at the time. Let God speak to them. Focus on Him and not them. He will change their heart, so you don’t have to convince them.

The little, small, ordinary things.

As Oswald Chambers wrote, and Emily Freeman quoted in her remarkable book about embracing the everyday versions of ourselves:

“It is ingrained in us that we have to do exceptional things for God – but we do not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things of life, and holy on the ordinary streets, among ordinary people – and this is not learned in five minutes.”

I’m still learning it. I imagine I will be learning it for the rest of my life.

quote from Lisa-Jo Baker, Surprised by Motherhood blog.

Good stuff.
