Yes, so many things out of our control! This year has been like none other. Thanks for your encouragement, Wemi! Easing up on myself is something I’m still working on…..

Thanks, Marielle. Beth’s message really spoke to me as soon as I read it, and then I returned to it and it affected me even more. I so appreciate our community of God-centered people (including you!) who share their insights on their blogs with all of us. Hope you have a wonderful weekend as well!

Thank you, Bettie. I appreciate your faithful heart to praise God and encourage others. You’re a treasure and a great example of someone who has learned how to enjoy God despite hard circumstances.

Ugh, I so relate to projects taking longer than expected. I sketch out my day in the morning but even when I try to pad for unexpected interruptions, etc., I still find that I grossly underestimate how long everything will take. I need these kinds of reminders to loosen my grip on what I count as “productive” and see it from God’s perspective instead. Thanks, Jed!

I think you’ll appreciate Beth’s article as much as I did, Patti. She has some great insights.

That’s how I felt when I read Beth’s post, too, Michele. It was very refreshing to hear her viewpoint!

This is such a great message. I also loved that article you featured and appreciate your further application of it. Resetting our purpose and vision of success is so helpful. I have also found it’s true that “enjoying God will give us more contentment, even in the hard times.” Thanks for hosting and have a great weekend!

Thank you for hosting too. Wishing you a happy Friday!
