I discovered something this morning, or maybe I should say I re-discovered something. I have this terrible struggle going on inside me all the time. It is one that I thought I had put to rest a few years ago, but it has resurfaced in the past few months. It is the struggle of significance.
I noticed it this morning when I was checking the list of blogs that I feel I must read daily. I had psoted a comment to a friend and she cammented back that I hadn't posted anything in sometime. My first thought was, oh well, I have been gone and I haven't had time, then it was well I guess I should post about Jr High Camp and the YFC confrence I was at for the longest 8 days of my life, or I should talk about all that Jake is doing this summer.
Then I stopped and my thought was "Oh why bother? I don't have anything worth saying anyway. Who is gonna care what I post? I don't think anybody even reads this stuff."
I thought about all that for a while and then I realized that it is that same struggle that I thought I had put to rest years ago. The idea that my words are of no value. That my thoughts and opinions have no worth to anyone but me. Satan kept me imprisoned by that lie for many years.
I would just like to challenge you today that if you ever find yourself feeling like I have to stop and remember that all things created by God are of value. That no matter who agrees or disagrees with your ideas, they are still valid as your ideas.
Do not be shaken my friends-stand firm in the knowledge that you are a child of the King!

I check your blog every day, Jenn! I check everyone's blog at least once a day because I'm so BORED and have nothing else to do!
I've been dealing with a very similar struggle within lately, as I sit here all alone in Michigan waiting for our house to sell. Some days the dog and David (by phone) are the only ones I talk to. I know however, that this too shall pass.
So whatever you post, be sure that I will read it!
