oh Annie–do you remember meeting? I remember your sweet smile. I wish we had an opportunity to connect, because I get you. I get your struggle. I get your desire to know people right in front of you more than via screen. I’m there. It’s the conversations that hold me & push me further up & further in that I need. I need my girlfriends who know me in & out. I need my husband, my best friend who loves me passionately. I need my little girls to know me & for me to know them. These relationships mean the most to me & I NEVER want blogging to interfere with them.

I think I have found the balance of going to Jesus & asking him what he thinks of me. Once I stop seeking approval from others, I have found blogging to be that much more enjoyable. I could write & talk so much about it. But, I went away from Relevant knowing my loving Jesus, my perfect Father exponentially more & it wasn’t really from any of the speakers words, simply through spending time away from normal & being with him.

Oh, Annie! I’m so thankful our Heavenly Father crossed our paths!
What a lovely post, sweet friend. The picture, oh, the picture, takes me back to that lovely round table moment.
Thank you!

You are sweet, Jennifer. It surely does not feel (or look) glorious in the day to day, but that the hard places and honest living would reflect His glory, I do hope.

Annie, your humble surrender, your choosing Him, His plan — and with it, all the unknowns — is glorious. Thank you, thank you, sweet friend.

oh sister. You’re speaking my language here. The language of abiding and remaining in the love of Christ. I loved meeting you and hearing your voice again here.

Yay! I was delighted and found SUCH pleasure in being a part of those 2 am convos and this journey that “we” have found ourselves on….I love knowing you and HEARING your heart here…and HOW God has spoken His very breath into your soul especially in the trying times of your past year and your now.

I love you, friend! THANKFUL to be “with” you, even from far away, on this crazy adventure together.

To abide in that hushed place, right? Your words & your heart that weekend and on your blog are such an encouragement! Thank you.
