Good stuff… I loved this line…

As my dad used to say… that’ll preach!

WOW! Andy….this blog post spoke so much to me! I found it today randomly while going through the blog world. I love your honesty about yourself mainly because I can relate so much to it! I feel the same way in searching for significance in my life. The pursuit of trying to show people how much I’m worth is so draining! Right? It sure does keep me humble in knowing that I don’t need that reassurance from anyone else to find my significance. But my pride just keeps trickling back up and telling me that i do need it. Your illustrations through your words is just incredible!!! Makes me think a lot!!

I’m going to follow your blog now! LOve it and I’m so glad I found it today!!!

So glad you are back to blogging! I struggle so much with being consistent with mine. I love how you always write from your heart and you are always so real.
I am constantly letting go of what I thought I would be (sometimes kicking and screaming along the way) and grabbing hold of every moment of who I am. It’s just that I don’t recognize her sometimes – I lived so long with all these dreams I had. But you’re so right – God has blessed me so much with people and things I never knew I wanted. They fill my heart with so much good stuff. And I have to trust I am living the life that’s best for me, planned out by the Creator of the Universe. And I live another day, trying not to get in the way of what He’s doing. I still have my dreams, but I leave the weight of them with the One who wants to carry them – the load is too much for me to bear. And I know that just over the horizon another dream is waiting, though I may not recognize it, and I hope that I’ll be able to see it with His eyes.
Looking forward to lots more of your writing for Mom’s Moments in a couple of months!

“something pithy on twitter to steal a few handfuls of admiration”…how much more transparent could you be? Girl, I love how you put the pen to our often vain motives.

Andi-
What an amazing post! I know God led me straight to it because it is exactly what I needed. So often I find myself in exactly that place, seeking worth, wanting so badly to be “known” and loved, comparing myself to others, striving for perfection. What a great reminder that I just need to keep on loving. Thank you for being so honest and real!

Andi – You are a wonderful woman, wife, mom, writer, friend, sister, daughter, and to me a very special prayer warrior.

I thank God each and every day for giving you the gift of love. It shows in so many ways. Thank you for loving me, when I didn’t feel lovable. Thank you for showing me that friendships with women are possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such a wonderful obedient woman of God.

I love you sweet friend.

How refreshing. Love reading your posts. It’s like you put in words, so perfectly, exactly what my heart is trying to say. I never could state it so beautifully the way you do. So gifted Andi. Thanks for sharing
