I'm so happy that you're being good to yourself as you approach the brink of parenthood, Crystal.

I began to type "good for yourself" (it's early on the left coast) and come to think of it, that works, too.

When my sister in law had my niece, and she was stressed, my brother told her this bit of wisdom, "There are only 3 things she needs: me, you, and dipers. The rest we can do without."

Crystal,

I love the priorities you've set before yourself for this year. Thanks for sharing.

Can't wait to hear how the transition from couple to family goes for you. It's always life-changing. And it can be very, very sweet.

Praying for sweet, here.

Re: One Small Step [Book Review of #theunlikelymissionary]

I'm really blessed by this review, and I think you've nailed my heart in writing it. I'm also really pleased to see here (and with other reviewers) that the PRAXIS stood out as a major factor in the reading of the book. I like the stories that I was able to share, but think they are meaningless unless there is something in there that can spark something in others. I guess I accomplished that mission!

Thanks again for the amazing review!

I'll bet you find freedom in this to explore and experiment as you write stories and share things that matter to you. Because if they matter to you, you'll probably write with interest and passion, drawing in your readers. Don't you think?

What are you curious about? What do you love? Write about that and you'll connect with like-minded readers.

I think about our resistance to change and I think about how we bear His image--an unchanging God.

Hmm.

I love that song! I grew up in a church with a blended service that included at least one traditional hymn in each worship service. I'm loving the trend in christian music to update the old favorites. We used two oldies but goodies: "Come Thou Fount" and "Be Thou My Vision" at our recent wedding. Continued congratulations to B, C, and D Rowes. Can't wait to meet little B when she gets here. :)

What a wonderful post! We have three children ages 9, 8, and 1. We always played a mix of new praise and worship along with some old hymes that we grew up listening to when they were in her womb. My older kids recognized some of those songs we use to play when they weren't born yet. It kind of amazes us. My 1 year old daughter loves to dance, especially to the songs she heard in the womb. There is something about those old hymes that move my spirit everytime.

As I read this I am reminded of Ephesians 2:8 which says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the Gift of God." My own salvation was influenced by his pursuit for me. Oh, how I am thankful to HIM for HIS love for us!

I love that image Joe - of you praying as you make the bread. For me, communion feels so much more important when we use "real" bread rather than wafers. It's something about the work that goes into making the bread ... the ingredients ... knowing it's "whole" food. Makes me feel closer to Christ.

Thanks lady! I just read your recent post about similar things ... I think just after I posted this actually. Glad I'm not alone!

Crystal Rowe — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 09:31:41 -0000

Thanks so much for your kind words!

It's so easy to get caught up in the "blogging hype" that I had to take a few steps back and remember why I blog in the first place. The perfectionist in me sometimes gets away with herself ... I want the "perfect blog" - lots of views, lots of comments, lots of followers ... but I guess I finally realized that the only way to really be successful is to be true to who I am - and that doesn't necessarily mean following all the suggested tasks :-)

OMG thank you for this post. Over the last couple of weeks I have bought books on how to be a creative writers. I started my first ever blog in August about my journey in weight loss. I received great responses from people and it was because I was blogging about me and my struggles. After a while I started blogging what I thought people would want to read and try to please them. I started getting fewer responses. I realized that I can't please everybody, one of my struggles, but keep it sincere and about me. I have always had this thing within my spirit to write a book or something. I haven't figured out what I am going to write about someday but I know it will come. But you won't lose me as a subscriber. I have enjoyed all your blogs since I have subscribed. Have a fantastic and productive day!
