How children help us believe God
I have to admit when I sat down to write this summary of Andrew Murray’s chapter my “blogger” self didn’t feel it presented any new and interesting information.

right? I haven’t fixed it since the first day (in which I straightened it 3x!). Glad to know I’m not alone in my minimalist approach to wall-hanging.
thanks Julie!
I agree with Julie and was about to say the same thing.
Loved this post!!
Thanks Sarah for your encouragement. Hope He reminds us daily that we can “let down” our efforts and rest in His all-sufficiency!
Great post. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks stacie…I have witnessed you (via your blog) “being still & knowing He is God” through some extremely challenging events. Even though we’ve never met face-to-face I was so blessed with your faithfulness through Gavin’s treatment. You are a gem!
Maybe Bruce feels right at home with the crooked piece.
ha! yes! That’s so true. Actually does make me feel better…although it may be bothering Bruce more than I realized given his history with askew wall hangings.
This was just wanted I needed to read this morning; God is using you and He used you to encourage me, a sister, today!
