Willingness to change...

...is a strength, even if it means plunging into total confusion for awhile," a quote I once read, and posted on My Quotes. I do a lot of quoting in my posts from songs, quotes, books, and scripture that I think explain, in better words than my own, what I am feeling, contemplating and learning in my life. My own words, I think, might lead to total confusion, because I am still a "work in progress." It just seems best if I don't say anything sometimes.

Living in Faith. Learning, maturing, then failing, then humility, grace and dependence on God. I will have struggles every day and weaknesses that God will not take away, to keep me dependent on Him. I will never have it "all together" or I'm just fooling myself, my loved ones and God. "Trusting God and others with who we really are" (from a book I am currently reading, TrueFaced), and accepting ourselves and others including all our failures and weaknesses might seem crazy but it is refreshing. God can use me even when I am weak, because He is strong, and when I fail, He succeeds. That is enough for me to live, some days in total confusion...

a typical night at our home: the kids painted themselves, and me, as wild animals, then went in the backyard and acted like wild animals! :)
