Feature Friday!

Another week, another list of great posts! So happy you guys are enjoying this series. I get the greatest comments and sweetest emails from those who are featured and those who love finding new reads and follows through this series. That was my hope when I started this—that new followers would emerge and new readerships formed. So I’m glad to know I’m succeeding!

• Accepting Motherhood by Tina @ Life without Pink: This post made me laugh out loud as I read it. I found myself nodding in agreement to everything she was writing, because I’ve so been there. And there are some things about parenting that you just can’t change!

• Fearfully & Wonderfully Made by Courtney @ Perfect Imperfections: I cried, I smiled and I was totally overwhelmed with how fantastic this post is. You guys are well aware of my never ending battle with self-doubt, and this post was a great reminder that there is a little person [and hopefully one day a second little person] looking up to me. I highly, highly encourage those of you with daughters to go read this.

• Self Discipline by Darcy @ My 3 Boybarians: I loved this post [boy that’s original…I never say that…]. I think I liked it because it was so real. So honest. And it gives [gave?] such an insightful and open look at what life  is really like. Overwhelming, busy, never enough time to do everything that needs doing. But there are ways to get things done…and Darcy talks about them. But you’ll have to go read her post to see.

• Carpe Diem by Carlotta @ Pastor Girl’s Ponderings: This post was a great reminder about what kind of things really matter. We all get so caught up in the “need to and should do’s” of our own lives and we tend to overlook the tiny things that will vanish soon enough. Her post was a fabulous reminder that there are some days when you just gotta kick your shoes off and play…without worrying about anything else.

• Don’t Pull on the Curtains by Rachel @ Finding Joy: I found this blog through her daughter’s blog [Aspire] and love, love, love it. This post really resonated with me because there are some days when I find the tension and the anxiety that comes from little hands and little messes is too much. She reminded me that soon enough my little boy won’t be little at all. Oh! And did I mention that Rachel is raising SEVEN kids? 🙂

• My Path into Unfamiliar Territory by Melissa @ A Familiar Path: I think this post was placed in front of me for a reason. I connected and identified with everything Melissa said here, and even spent a good portion of my day on Tuesday reflecting and praying over this very same thing. God placed this post in front of me Tuesday evening just because he knew that I needed it. Love when he works things out like that. Now…you should go read it too!

• Words are Important, too by Lisa @ Graceful Abandon: This is a new blog for me, and this happened to be the first post that I stumbled on. I fell in love immediately with the words, the writing and Lisa’s amazing heart for Christ. I find myself all too often trying to weasel my way out of doing something that needs doing in favor of something that I want to do. And this post struck a nerve…and was a great knock on the head for how things should be.
