So much to be learned from the little ones...how they trust and love so purely and freely. <br /><br />I love how you relate your responsibilities with Alivia's...yes on different levels but the same degree of "hugeness" for the person. <br /><br />I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. Phil. 4:13. <br /><br />Only through power of Jesus and grace of God can we accomplish anything at all. Only.<br />So glad you had such a restful and peaceful weekend. Sounds wonderful. Love the image of Amiyah letting go, trusting, and dangling those cute feetsies of hers. <br />Love ya.Paula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-41775172645991121382009-09-10T09:50:12.343-05:002009-09-10T09:50:12.343-05:00Lelia:

Left to myself, I'm just a complete pile of mush and nothingness. With Jesus, I'm enabled to participate in the "divine nature" Peter talks about in 2nd Peter 1. God's enabling Spirit within is my strength from day to day. When I am tempted to offer my "i can'ts" I remember God's presence in me.<br /><br />You're speaking some good truth here, friend. You're not alone on the road. Take that one to the spiritual bank!<br /><br />peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-50462934771638992022009-09-10T00:51:26.041-05:002009-09-10T00:51:26.041-05:00Can I change my can't to a ..'I don't ...Can I change my can't to a ..'I don't feel like it'?<br /><br />Just got back from a few days away with my man. Amazing; Amazing; Amazing. Want to go back.<br /><br />But I'm sure we would tire soon enough. And I"m sure if I trust Him to walk me through the "I don't feel like it", I will get into what even it was I didnt feel like in the first place.<br /><br />Know Rome wasnt' built in a day but it definitely didn't build itself either so better get back into things<br /><br />.... help me God!!Sandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606869771327737827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-52294661967476162482009-09-09T22:30:15.556-05:002009-09-09T22:30:15.556-05:00AMEN!

It's weekends like your Labor Day camp that HE gives to us so that we CAN - and only with His help.<br />Great timing for this post and thought as I leave for retreat tomorrow!<br />Love you! And Amiyah is becoming more and more beautiful!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797249102281133361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-79238011477923914972009-09-09T21:52:03.008-05:002009-09-09T21:52:03.008-05:00Oh--I know that feeling.

Maybe if I read enough of them I can recreate my past!<br /><br />I can totally relate to wanting to stay on the mountaintop, away from "real life."

A HUGE family thing. We don't do that anymore now that our kids are growing up. It's sad in some respects, yet in others, I don't know if I'd want my daughter around the family for that long of a time period. *sigh* But, we are making new family memories and friend/family memories.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14297702598120453725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-48014389895228867682009-09-08T19:32:08.469-05:002009-09-08T19:32:08.469-05:00What an adorable little girl.

There were so many "I can't" moments in the lawt 24 hours that I cringe thinking about them now. Thank our God for the blessing of Jesus. I pray that I ably put all my trust in Him today. xoxoPaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998506662161051393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-68820903188597442062009-09-08T15:38:41.156-05:002009-09-08T15:38:41.156-05:00Hugs and much love,
