I've taken sort of a self imposed break over the summer... visiting here and there... posting here and there... overall just taking time to enjoy my family and listening to God.<br /><br />I've so enjoyed spending some time this afternoon catching up with you. You have such a way with words and spoken such truths over the summer.<br /><br />Praying for you and looking forward to being back by soon for a visist!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766966678007928170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689868815257965373.post-71583801738495488972009-08-27T15:29:10.189-04:002009-08-27T15:29:10.189-04:00Paula,

You were the first one and WOW!! This is AWESOME!! You have such a sweet yet powerful spirit and you are talented more than I think you realize. I am praying for a breakthrough for you soon. You are definitely an inspiration to me.<br /><br />Love in Christ,<br />DanaDanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264099229367291676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689868815257965373.post-80297799635998704922009-08-26T20:01:08.261-04:002009-08-26T20:01:08.261-04:00What an awesome post.

I wa...You always have the best posts.<br />I loved this.<br />I was just reading about perseverance this morning in James chapter 1. And, I heard a tv preacher give this definition of perseverance Sunday.<br />He said it's willing to be unhappy for a while. <br /><br />Thank you for your comment on my post. I wanted to write exactly what you wrote....and tie it in with how God gives when we ask etc. <br />To tell you the truth that simple little post took me so long to get posted. I uploaded the pictures that morning and kept trying to make a little devotion out of it and finally decided to just post it. I'm thankful you wrote all that you did. It's so true...if that girl hadn't bragged on the cookies and made such a big deal I probably wouldn't have bought those and never would have thought to give them to her specifically.<br />I know God loves it when we do the same.<br />Thanks Paula.<br />Love,<br />Valvaleriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506291993756087418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689868815257965373.post-22093521061336609522009-08-25T10:23:35.945-04:002009-08-25T10:23:35.945-04:00Don't you love how God teaches you things even...Don't you love how God teaches you things even when doing something as little as yardwork?

I love to listen in the garden.
