I'm thrilled that you can relate to this post - for one thing, it makes me feel like I'm not a total freak! ;-) Seriously though, I'm happy that you found encouragement in it (Sandy B. - your comments made me blush!). <br /><br />Blessings!C.G.

May God give you peace and even surprise you with joy in the present. : ) <br /><br />By the way, I read several blogs but yours is my very favorite. I love how you are so real. And I love when you write posts like this, that share your own struggles (or victories) and lessons you're learning in a way that we can really relate to our own lives. Just wanted to let you know that even though your current job seems like a mis-match in that it doesn't seem to be using your gifts, God is using your blog to touch people you've never even met, like me. : )Sandy B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899893125552679366.post-26039100554689937112011-09-28T17:04:31.345-04:002011-09-28T17:04:31.345-04:00GREAT post, Carrie.

Glad God has something for us in EACH MOMENT. =]Kaysihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358830869263496501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899893125552679366.post-72127354964007584392011-09-28T07:19:36.996-04:002011-09-28T07:19:36.996-04:00Wow. This was a great post. I loved it because I...Wow. This was a great post. I loved it because I can definitely identify. Yeah, I know our life circumstances are totally different, but I know that I often find myself struggling with discontentment and focusing to much on where I've been and where I'm trying to get (not where God has me now!). Although, I've been finding that God has totally used the "in-between" parts of life to teach me more about reliance on Him and patience then I could have learned if life went exactly like I would plan it. Not that that makes life any easier... I think you are absolutely correct about attitude and CHOOSING to live in the here and now. Hang in there :)Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389005030066413697noreply@blogger.com
