It's funny now as a mom, my littles always want to be right there in the middle too. Sandwiched in tight with arms and legs right up next to me. And in all truth, besides the elbows to the nose in the middle of the night on occasion, I find it comforting too.

I guess it is the same way with us and God, when we're going through something tough it can be scary but when we look back we think, Oh, that wasn't so bad. I'm so thankful for my many growth opportunities, even if I didn't appreciate them at the time.

He is there to encourage you, direct you and yes, even protect you from yourself sometimes. Rest in that fact but then move forward.<br /><br />I am trying to move in a different direction work-wise.

Who doesn't love Kermit the frog?! He is the best. Such encouraging words this week. We should be green and be proud. At times it is so hard for us to embrace all of who we are-even the parts we think stand out in a bad way (as you stated here). I suppose there is no bad. Only different "colors" as we are all unique. I will be green along with you today :)Rebekahhttp://weliveinspired.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835263578522511208.post-74052459930441910202013-05-03T20:22:47.808-05:002013-05-03T20:22:47.808-05:00Hi Amy,
