We do have some ugly terms, don’t we? I don’t like “pushover” either. Our labels can turn something good into something negative. But also vice-versa. Yes, I’m grateful too for Jesus and his upside-down ways. Thanks, Sarah.

It’s great that you are continuing to move in that direction, Amber. The way I see it, as long as our feet our pointing the right way, we’re on the right path. 🙂 We may not all take many or big steps, but God honors our intentions. I’m grateful for that.

Yes, I know I do the same thing, Jean, letting my own self-talk take me places I don’t want to go. It seems like it’d be such an easy thing to fix. ha.

Nike had it right after all: Just do it. Whatever it is, just take action. Yes. Thanks, Kristi.

You’re likely right, Laura—people may not want to ask us to do the same thing repeatedly anyway. ha. Fear can take some twisted turns…. Thanks for adding this angle.

Thanks for sharing a different perspective, Anita. You seem to be on the right track to me, even though you may feel you take it too far at times. I guess balance is needed in most everything.
