I read it a few weeks ago + it is funny because I had no idea you were reading it too! I am hoping to write a post about it soon- it has seriously been one of the most life/thought changing books I have read in a long long time. Really wishing we could talk more about it! <br /><br />And I love your list. Ever since I read that chapter in the book I have been so convicted to write my own...<br />xoAndi Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13781123413341494058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185744470283939886.post-33351819830777592352011-03-15T05:59:34.303-07:002011-03-15T05:59:34.303-07:00I found my way here through Tonia's place.

My problem is applying the list in the moment and not equaling my "don't do's" to failure.

We all only have so much time in the day and it has become more and more precious to me! As my kids grow and our life grows...I have to remember God's priorities for our life...the life I chose and He has blessed me with. It is so easy to say "yes" to so much that I put my family's at the risk of stress and an overwhelmed momma. In today's society there seems to be such an emphasis on doing, doing, doing...even when your kids are so little. My prayer this during this lent season is to stop...don't say yes until I have heard from God what His will is...even in the little things and only DO what He will have us do!

I don't keep a spotless house either nor do I sweat about misspellings on my blog..there are many. I don't blog if I don't feel like it, and I don't shower everyday either. I read something a while back about moms and homeschooling mom's at that who are too concerned about clean and less about real time with their kids. I do real time...sounds like you do too. Micheal Card's wife Susan says in her homeschool experience she listens for the voice of comfort. this is usually from God. She says it is hard to remember that His voice can sound like that. Michael reponds...why would you think it would be different? May you find that God in His to do list for you today has an easy yoke that is comfortable for especially you to bear.<br />BTW your trip pictures to NZ are fabulous!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848602351510580682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185744470283939886.post-79056546487713915022011-03-08T03:59:45.060-08:002011-03-08T03:59:45.060-08:00You and Bon are soooo cut from the same cloth!You and Bon are soooo cut from the same cloth!hifidelnortehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744161475432063378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185744470283939886.post-64705802027510881852011-03-07T20:40:35.994-08:002011-03-07T20:40:35.994-08:00i don't have kids or a family yet, and i read ...i don't have kids or a family yet, and i read these words today and thought this little baby business that i am growing feels like one or both of those (for better or worse), and i groan under the pressure of all these things you listed. sorry about the run on sentence. thank you for the honesty. it inspires the non-navel-gazing kind of reflection that just might lead towards change.erinhttp://www.justmetoyou.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185744470283939886.post-79134726761797122322011-03-07T15:36:32.097-08:002011-03-07T15:36:32.097-08:00what is within my power here to not get under, so ...what is within my power here to not get under, so that my home is peaceful and my kids aren't victimized by my emotions under pressure?<br /><br />how did you know? did you see me bawling today, trying to hide my tears from my little boy who wrapped his arms around his mommy?<br /><br />oh misha. you, and this list, and this place... thank you.Mommy Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989213786947802537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185744470283939886.post-36083830342010210402011-03-07T13:37:22.706-08:002011-03-07T13:37:22.706-08:00Jennifer Jo - that is an INCREDIBLE quote.
