Life is a balancing act, isn't it?
Trying to be hopeful, without getting your hopes too high.
Staying optimistic, yet realistic.
Being humble, with confidence in yourself.
Enjoying a homemade oreo, but not the entire batch.
I read this and this today on faith. They were helpful and interesting to me.
About Me
I was 19 the day that Eric and I got married and I had my whole perfect life PLANNED out—a time table, a list of goals, EXPECTATIONS, and dreams. But LIFE gave me something EVEN BETTER than my limited vision and plans: a chance to learn and grow and BECOME by experiencing infertility, foster care, adoption, special needs (autism) parenting, breast cancer, and more. Our lives are often challenging, PAINFUL, and complicated, yet it is no doubt that they are GLORIOUS, wonderful, and exciting, too. Our EXPERIENCES, the ones we DELIBERATELY seek out and the ones we would never have picked but we have to MUDDLE through anyways, SHAPE us. We CHOOSE what that shape will look like in the end by our ATTITUDE and our willingness to EMBRACE the moments of life. For it is the MOMENTS that DEFINE us. I choose to WALK FORWARD in the BRIGHTNESS of hope by noticing those moments, LEARNING as much as I can, SEEKING the good, and TRUSTING in a loving God.

Thank you, thank you for the links. . .it's taken me a couple of days to get to them, but I've been able to add insightful notes to my scriptures and make notes of things I hadn't realized before or that will help me improve. Much thanks!
I love you Laura! And I completely agree!
Thanks Laura, you are precious.
