Wow,...Hi Jennifer,<br /><br />Popping over from Marla's.<br /><br />Wow, what a wonderful post! I think my husband and I could use a time out, too. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'd love to link to this post on my blog in tomorrow's post.<br /><br />I'm a new follower :)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02568583187756261273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-77002695485569011102010-09-23T03:44:46.271-07:002010-09-23T03:44:46.271-07:00You have a wise husband.

Fear can be so debilitating that it shuts down the very energy and passion that drives success. The energy and passion that leads to success can only thrive when we remain faithful in the little things and trust God take care of the big picture.Rod Robisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835904007182975990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-86517040611056751402010-09-22T18:26:34.550-07:002010-09-22T18:26:34.550-07:00I love that - a time out!

Amen! Amen Jen!

I can get so caught up in trying to sew things to sell so I can have money to give away that I ignore Isabelle and get stressed out and ignore my wifely/motherly/youth pastor's wife duties! And I also need to remember that God can use any small obedient thing I do for Him and turn it into something BIG! Sometimes that's even better because we can say, "Look what God did" instead of "Look at how many countries I've affected for Christ!" or "Look at all these sacrifices I've made!"<br /><br />And you are so right on when you talked about how the different roles perspective can lead to apathy--like since I am called to be a stay-at-home Mom I can (wrongly) focus completely on Isabelle and ignore all the starving people all over the world. God knows how much we can handle (with His strength of course) and He has a plan mapped out for my life of how He wants to use me. I just want to be completely surrendered and willing to say "Yes" to whatever that is every step of the way.Bethanyhttp://www.xanga.com/YoYoYodernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-10648019277846309422010-09-22T12:14:48.587-07:002010-09-22T12:14:48.587-07:00I need a time out...and a nap.
