I am well aware that I have things I need to work on along, but it is nice to know you have friends to lean on if you need to once in awhile.

Excellent post. It’s these times in my life, when I bare things to God that nobody else knows that my relationship with Him is at it’s best I think. I don’t always have the courage or even the understanding to change what I see in the mirror, but He does and will help me do that. I am impatient by nature, and always need to remind myself that on a walk in faith, things won’t ever move within my timetable, and that is the frustrating part for me, but it gets easier.

I could not agree with you more here. There are things in our lives that are simply too multi-faceted to try to explain and share with anyone. Some things never were meant to share. Only God and you need to know them and work through them together. Great post! Viola Jaynes's last blog post..An Easter Package

As I get older I find that I spend more time on my own. I think the real drive is to really understand myself and my relationship with everything — my family and friends, the world we live in, society and the creator. Sometime at first my thoughts are self-defacing but I’ve found that if you give it some time and try to put it into perspective with all of life’s relationships then it can be very illuminating. Once this happens I’ve found my self-esteem is increased.

Interesting insight. Way to take the time to really think about something and I think you are right relating to the quote is easy.

You are a breath of fresh air, Hopeful Spirit. Can I thank Viola Jaynes too?!

God has been working on me to be more forgiving when I look in the mirror too. Satan has been playing a sly trick on me for years, making me believe my disapproval of myself is humility. Thank you for the gentle reminder.

It's amazing how people fear being alone; It's such a human thing and yet with God...We are thankfully blessed with a loving Father who is there to strengthen us...Wonderful post! Twinkle Mom's last blog post..In Other Words Tuesday-Quote by Mary Forsythe (with Beth Clark)

Very deep, very insightful, and meaningful beyond words. I love the way you used other media to make your point come home. Unlike the man in the video, we must stand before the mirror and ask God what it is we cannot see, how it got there and let Him gently deal with us in love and truth... GREAT POST! Blessings.
