I'm going to have to give my motto some thought. I would really like to actually have on and then live by it, or at least move my life in that direction! I may use some of your Life Words too! They are a lot of what I'm wanting to do with my life right now. Thanks for the great post! Great post! I’m going to have to give my motto some thought.

Thank you for sharing! I've been trying more and more (especially lately) to REALLY put my life's path in God's hands. I tend to want to fix everything, and expect that I can make all my earthly hopes and dreams to come to fruition. I need to remember that I am the Lord's, and His plans are FAR better than any I could possibly come up with. So my motto is: Let go, and let God. I know it's super-simple, but there's a lot of weight in it. For instance... I really wanted to have children. This past summer I cried all the time about it. But when I finally "gave in," and told God that I would listen to whatever HE wanted for my life. The peace and joy that He's given me now on that subject in particular just leaves me speechless. He knows our hearts, and He heals our hearts, if only we let Him... That’s really awesome, Mel! Thank you for sharing!

I've actually been in the process of writing a blog along these lines. Just never get a chance to actually finish it. haha But I hope to. At least before the Lord calls me home. :) And I'm trying to change one of my Life Words to "Yes". Not all the time, just some times. I'm too quick to say NO to a lot of things: new friendships, fellowship with people I'm not real close to, etc. It's a huge struggle for me. I completely can relate to the paragraph you wrote about authenticity. This goes along with my reason to say no a lot. I don't want people to know the real me. It's too hard to be "real" with people. Because *gasp* they might decide they don't like the real me. And that would be a tough pill to swallow. Thanks for this!! Awesome! Love this!
