I always feel like I'm in the spotlight to prove that I'm up for the task of mothering all these children, and hence struggle with the expectation for the youngins to perform in order to prove themselves, and their mother, worthy. I'm not as much in the spotlight as you are, but enough so to feel the pressure. <br /><br />It used to bother me more when they were smaller, but I think I've found a little bit more confidence in myself (but moreso in God).<br /><br />You're a good mom. <br />I always wanted to go to Africa. I love your pictures. Do any of the moms over there need cloth diapers? I can make a donation.Angela Sundara... etchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652890942310474048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336773065190388825.post-67804524821427646022009-09-01T23:20:02.858-05:002009-09-01T23:20:02.858-05:00Sara, I admire the work that you are doing.

Then I can go back there in my mind and envision people where they are.<br /><br />Talking about Kirby brought to mind a fantastic book that I'm working through called "Love Focused" by Bob and Judy Hughes and I highly recommend it. I am a mom who struggles with wanting to seem like my kids "have it 100% together" when really we are right at about 35% or less! This book has helped with what you were talking about, working on how to love in the moment instead of focus on our own needs and agenda. Way to seize that moment for your little guy!<br />Lovingly,<br />JulieHi!

I just found a link to your blog on your website, and wanted to leave you a little message. You song "I saw what I saw" was part of my inspiration to go on my first mission trip. I knew the Lord was calling me, and that was around the time one of my friends went to an art music justice show. She played that song for me, and I would literally WAKE UP singing that song. :) The Lord was working on my heart. Just wanted to thank you for inspiring others, and also for GOING! :)<br /><br />I blog, too. Feel free to read about God's work in Peru and Haiti.<br /><br />for His kingdom,<br />Rebecca GriggsBechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095737094138198470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336773065190388825.post-67984692122852251452009-08-25T10:52:37.655-05:002009-08-25T10:52:37.655-05:00What a GREAT reminder of how I will need to check ...What a GREAT reminder of how I will need to check my motives before I handle a situation with my child (our first is on the way due this February) in public and make sure that I'm saying what I'm saying and doing what I'm doing for their good and not for my own image.Joylynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11716776610302013232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336773065190388825.post-71248199117771283512009-08-20T21:50:31.470-05:002009-08-20T21:50:31.470-05:00As a former MK, I think it is exciting the wonderu...As a former MK, I think it is exciting the wonderuful opportunities that you and Troy are opening up to your children. Teaching them to be Jesus with shoes on. The pictures are so beautiful, so scenic, so engaging. I hear a song in the words Land of a Thousand Hills.....:)I hear the drum beat from the distant lands. <br /><br />My mission field is my town and my county of Isanti. 80% of the people in my area here do not go to church. Which is odd..as the number of churches in Isanti (the city) is 4 or 5 all within a mile radius of eachother. My mission field is my public school classroom as well. <br /><br />Bless you as you minister in the name of Jesus in all the many ways your family does.Kimberly Hurd Horsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345751576951313621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336773065190388825.post-33998509188169882312009-08-20T21:38:07.661-05:002009-08-20T21:38:07.661-05:00Yesterday, I figured out why my son misbehaves and...Yesterday, I figured out why my son misbehaves and displays a bad attitude at times. I caught myself acting like him in his bad moments, and realized that sometimes he has been imitating me. How embarrassing! Hopefully that never happens to you. :)Terry Laudetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17725093818552655944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336773065190388825.post-5644341080746131872009-08-20T21:28:21.307-05:002009-08-20T21:28:21.307-05:00Very touching, Sara.

I'm still enjoying Tell Me What You Know so much, but as always, look forward to hearing your new project!ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599871838824233964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336773065190388825.post-70709107696040323252009-08-20T21:09:33.717-05:002009-08-20T21:09:33.717-05:00What an amazing journey!

For now, we will do our missions here in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Just yesterday my husband and I went to the deepest streets, bridges and railroad tracks of St. Paul to seek out the homeless. We're starting a ministry and desire to end homelessness in the Twin Cities one day. One person at a time. Anyways...this just touches my heart and I know it touches God's heart as well. Bless you in all that you do. <br /><br />And I'm so excited to have you at our church in October. Just got all the papers this week! <br /><br />In Christ,<br />Christine EngmanChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06310517201642115486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336773065190388825.post-22989144047377825022009-08-20T20:10:03.138-05:002009-08-20T20:10:03.138-05:00I find that all too often, I do the same thing to ...I find that all too often, I do the same thing to my little one. She is 5, so far from understanding hidden motives... but I know that those days are drawing to an end. Oh, to have the forgiving heart of a child.<br /><br />I love the pictures, the work you are doing there (and everywhere.. even daily, in my home through your music) is amazing. They are lucky, as am I, to have you.<br /><br />I can't tell you how excited I am about your new album coming out. I am literally thrilled.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390418429076727693noreply@blogger.com
