Beauty

So, first of all, I am blown away by the response I've gotten from my guest post over at Casey's blog.

Seriously, I am so thankful she asked me to do it...and that God was able to use my story to encourage so many people.

(I took this pic fairly soon after getting my iPhone. I love how vibrant the sky is and how puffy the clouds are)

But, I am really excited about something else. And, I think you should be excited as well.

The beautiful Danielle, who blogs over at take heart, came up with a wonderful idea. She made a Beauty Book that is going to travel all over the place. In it will be the stories of many different women...stories of their current or past issues with self esteem...and how they are finding out that true beauty is found in God's eyes.

All you have to do is visit this post and follow the directions to sign up. She is accepting emails until next Friday, so sign up soon if you're interested.

(This pic is from our first trip to CO...with our backs to the entrance to Shove Chapel. I love pics of paths like these)

I am very excited to be able to share my own story and to read the stories of the other women who will be writing in the book before me. I really hope you will consider sharing your story as well. This could possibly be life changing for you...or for someone who may read your story.

For any of you who have been reading my blog for awhile, you'll know that I am all about carrying each other's burdens, as we are instructed to do in Galatians 6:2 -

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Are you willing to carry someone else's burden?

I hope many of you will be willing to participate in this.

Be blessed, friends, and have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

just found you through Caseys blog. Your faith and trust in God's plan is encouraging. My situation is very different from yours, but last year I was put in a place where I had to soley lean on Him- and it was hard- but the peace that came from it was rewarding. My whole outlook on life changed by placing 100% of my faith in His perfect plan, not mine. Thanks for sharing :)

I also came over here from Casey's blog. It was my first time visiting hers, and now my first time on yours! Your story about infertility was so true and really inspirational. Thanks for sharing it. God will definitely bless you for trusting Him!

I just read your guest post over at Casey's blog. It's beautiful & I can relate. I too have PCOS & have dealt with years of infertility. I'm fortunate to now have 3 little ones, but it hasn't been easy. I just want you to know that you're not alone in your struggles. God bless!
