If our desire is to be the best we can be and be something, quite frankly, that is a delight to the man God gave to us, I think it's wonderful.<br /><br />I have been trying to comment on your past several posts, but either my end or something keeps messing up. I'm trying again.<br /><br />I loved the Mary Janes in the last post.<br /><br />I have been doing my own version of this and following your thoughts since you started. I have the hair issue too where I don't want to over wash it.<br /><br />Here's my biggest issue: My husband is gone during most of the week. When he isn't home and I'm not going anywhere, I get really lazy about hair and makeup. <br /><br />Trying to improve. But for me, the weekends are the MOST important time, especially when he walks in the door. <br /><br />Great series, Mary. I am enjoying it.<br /><br />Now, pleasepleaseplease let this post...Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148788601596226747.post-69716509395635992512011-10-29T14:51:07.312-07:002011-10-29T14:51:07.312-07:00Oh Mary, I can so relate to you! (Hair stuff...hmm...Oh Mary, I can so relate to you! (Hair stuff...hmmmm, haven't many of us been there?!?) I think that the older our homeschooled kids get, the more important it becomes that we mamas are "in the fight" with them...when they're little, maybe we're not so creative, but they can learn something just by snuggling with us. But when they're in high school, snuggling doesn't teach biology and algebra too well, LOL! I am so tired, so often, but the stakes are high with these senior-high'ers, so I ask for strength through Christ for the tasks, and then praise Him for every ounce of energy He provides.<br /><br />Blessings and {{{HUGS}}},<br />LoriIllinois Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823043316393624821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148788601596226747.post-66033655893143024952011-10-29T11:14:49.055-07:002011-10-29T11:14:49.055-07:00Sounds like you are doing good.

Looking "cute" and "attractive" is something we shouldn't focus on. I personally think that the more we grow in godliness the less we desire "cute" and the more true "beauty" radiates from us. Not sure if that makes sense....<br /><br />The more I've asked God to show me my beauty it seems that area of my life (clothes, accessories, make up, etc) has gotten way more "simple."<br /><br />I think my husband desires me more now then ever before....and one other thought....I think the amish wear purple linens too :)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401052769644309532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148788601596226747.post-72857929110016576042011-10-29T10:00:59.999-07:002011-10-29T10:00:59.999-07:00I'm so happy for you that you are feeling enco...I'm so happy for you that you are feeling encouraged and strengthened in an area in which you struggle so!

I lo...This is good stuff, Mary -- keep it coming! <br /><br />I love Sarah Mae's words: "I also want to teach them to be self-disciplined." <br /><br />It is interesting to consider how our habits will become those of our children; if I am not self-disciplined, how will be children be (and how can I expect them to be?). If I have a house full of unfinished projects I am teaching my children that follow-through doesn't matter. OUCH.<br /><br />Thanks, thanks, thanks for sharing these wise, wise words.<br /><br />Blessings to you and yours!! ~LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760735212107263086noreply@blogger.com
