' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 2 Corinthians 12:9<BR/><BR/>"Not feeling original." -- For thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are They works, And my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139: 13-14<BR/><BR/>"Feeling guilty about stuff." -- There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1<BR/><BR/>"I still haven't finished my lesson plans." Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans will be established. Proverbs 16:3<BR/><BR/>"Having trouble with my identity." But when the fulness of time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, in order that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as [daughters]. And because you are [daughters], God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying ," Abba! Father!" Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a [daughter], and if a [daughter], then an heir through God.<BR/><BR/>Oh, Kim, I love you, and "... I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man; so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fulness of God. Amen.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371994218147964192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33854077.post-77297907913323212552008-01-15T20:15:00.000-06:002008-01-15T20:15:00.000-06:00"My pride and people's reactions to me give me anx..."My pride and people's reactions to me give me anxiety over changing their education."<BR/><BR/>I find it so sad when other people are very firm in their opinion of there only being ONE "right way" to educate your children.<BR/><BR/>I've made a decision to chose an education that Justin and I feel is the best for our child and our family. Unfortunately, there will be people we know who we will just have to politely ignore their reactions, and remind ourselves we are doing the best thing for our family.<BR/><BR/>In choosing your child's education it's so important to embrace your strengths and weaknesses and your children's strengths and weaknesses. And to realize if you can work with those together or if it's best if another teacher assisted with them their strengths and weaknesses.<BR/><BR/>March forward, don't let others distract you and pull you down!!!!<BR/><BR/>Love you,<BR/>CariThe Heltonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13258819180428501031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33854077.post-65535676942235105272008-01-15T18:18:00.000-06:002008-01-15T18:18:00.000-06:00What can I say that hasn't already been said?

I could even tell you that you're too stubborn for your own good but that probably wouldn't make you smile...could even make you continue to cry. <BR/><BR/>What I'll say is, "I love you, cousin-in-law." Let's work through this life together, being failures, being achievers, being God's little ones.The Heltonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13258819180428501031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33854077.post-80048301314810024142008-01-15T18:17:00.000-06:002008-01-15T18:17:00.000-06:00Kim, you're a beautiful person.

He just doesn't see what we see. <BR/>God will lift up your head... especially if you go listen to that song really LOUDLY right now, and listen to the words. It's jars of Clay.

I said cheerful, but that's not what's needed....Ok. I said cheerful, but that's not what's needed. Here's the truth. You're broken, filthy, beaten down and no good. These feelings of failure and insecurity are the result of sin manifesting itself in your flesh. Instructions: <BR/>Step 1: Understand how and why that sin manifests itself in this way.<BR/>Step 2: Using the gifts God has given you, namely the grace of Christ and the power of the Spirit, beat, kick and pound that sin into submission.<BR/>Step 3: Replace it with the glorious, life-giving gospel.<BR/>Step 4: Repeat daily until that sin is dead.<BR/>Step 5: Convince me to do the same.JBLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616735857425857736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33854077.post-82981875035783517432008-01-15T16:53:00.000-06:002008-01-15T16:53:00.000-06:00Funny.

But about the insecurities and not knowing my place and all that jazz. Not easy times. I wish I could say something really cheerful, but we're rowing the same boat right now.
