I think the meloncoly/introspective side of us creative types can rear its ugly head and make us doubt ourselves and Gods perfect plan for each of us. Like you these past few months God has gotten to the deep core of some long pushed back issue i had needed to face head on. With his help, i can see how healing it has been. And i am beginning to be content with me, who i am creatively and am no longer comparing myself to the amazing talent others. Its been so freeing!<br /><br />Bless you for being allowed to be used of our Most High!<br />Love, LorenaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266383410969740448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-15402309798847484872012-11-01T19:03:45.762-05:002012-11-01T19:03:45.762-05:00Congrats to Steve Reb.

I think you are like ALL of us in that we will never feel we are good enough. I think it's satan getting into our mind, heart and soul. God says we are all created equal and he alone will judge and that we are bought and purchased with a price! God does think we are good enough and that's all that really matters. I get to feeling the same way as you and get depressed, but just remember we are all alike in our insecurities! Congratulations, Rebecca on your 1000 post. You have touched so many people. Thank you!!! xo PamPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09694690768295741675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-67667819266443803282012-10-31T22:52:25.555-05:002012-10-31T22:52:25.555-05:00What a beautiful post, Rebecca.

That teacher did not like children or she would never, ever had said anything like that to a child. Children are gifts and need to be treasured and told so every day! My kids at school might think it strange when I tell them that I love them, but I think they LIKE hearing it!

First of all, Congratulations on you...Dear Rebecca,<br />First of all, Congratulations on your 1000th post! That's quite a milestone in blogging. And I am so glad you took the initiative and wrote that first post otherwise none of us out here in blogland would have had the pleasure of meeting you and your creative genious! <br /><br />You know some teachers shouldn't be allowed in the classroom. I had two in particular who were pitiful! They succeeded in making me feel like a real dummy. And for years, like you, I struggled with feeling 'not good enough'. Actually, I'm sad to say, my parents did a good job of that on their own. But then I met my sweetheart who loved me enough to marry me {who would have thought I would be good enough to be loved by someone as wonderful as him?}. And between him and God, I am who I am today! <br /><br />I'm finally at peace with myself, at least most of the time. But it took me and those that love me, a very long time to help me see that I was 'good enough.' <br /><br />Thank you for being you, Rebecca. A warm, generous, creative, beautiful lady whom we have all come to know and love through blogging. God bless you, my friend. And we look forward to many more posts from you.<br /><br />Blessings and hugs,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-42436537006020989062012-10-31T13:05:02.370-05:002012-10-31T13:05:02.370-05:00Sweet Rebecca,

One of beauty, inspiration, devotion, caring, and love. Your photos are captivating and your words are honest and uplifting. The fruit of the Spirit is such that certain people are given different fruit, and yours are different than mine, though I hope there are certain ones that overlap!!<br /> The encourager that you are is so very obvious, and the creativity and self-motivation are traits that you share selflessly with us. We are so delighted when you have something to share with us! The gentility of your nature reaches out and touches others and you are a witness that God is using to speak to us to reach higher.<br /> Thank you so much for being a light of beauty and godly womanhood others can see. You truly are an amazing woman. And I know your husband thinks so too!<br /> Congratulations and God bless you!<br />DoniDonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463870105004468081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-86160585053498633142012-10-31T10:34:01.861-05:002012-10-31T10:34:01.861-05:00P.S.

Already clicked on submit...but it kind of haunted me to not reassure you that you are GOOD ENOUGH! God says so!! The "enemy" is so relentless with lies and falsehoods! You are God's child and you must immediately fill your mind with His beautiful hope and promises when those negative thoughts come flooding in! :) I can truly relate with the spiritual warfare that goes on in our minds, though!<br /><br />xoxo CarolynCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812909403595609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-20827283936181927792012-10-31T10:17:39.258-05:002012-10-31T10:17:39.258-05:00Dearest Rebecca,

As you sum up in the end, yes you DO weave the love of The Most High into your writing, your live, your things. That in itself is a big bonus as we do have a president who wants to do away with that... A shame and it only leads to the morally falling off the economical Niagara falls!<br />You are a very honest person and yes, by writing about ourselves we do become vulnerable but there are so many others that share our dreams, our moral values and it helps and supports us to move on.<br />A big hug to you and thanks for sticking around for all of us!<br />Your Grandparents will be so proud of you as they too upheld those high morals, no matter how tough their earthly journey was...<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-21764359755804339692012-10-31T09:47:28.014-05:002012-10-31T09:47:28.014-05:00Wow! 1000 post, congratulations, that is a great a...Wow! 1000 post, congratulations, that is a great accomplishment!<br />YOU are GREAT enough!!

Thank you for your transparency, as it is often hard to dig down and reflect on the sometimes painful past. I've been walking through the soul searching time and have wondered why God has me in this envelope of time. It is amazing to me how easily we become defeated when we have SO much to be thankful for. You have a beautiful God given talent that is reflected in your blog posts. Thank you for your sweet open friendship and your encouraging comments. <br /><br />Hugs and blessings,<br />JocelynJocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714577523744715551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-70060549315776560132012-10-31T09:40:16.487-05:002012-10-31T09:40:16.487-05:00Congrats Rebecca!

I THOROUGHLY ENJOY your posts and look forward to them!! I don't always have time to comment bec of my busy work schedule and busy home life, but I always find time at the end of week or on good weeks, every day to see what is going on in your sweet little cottage world! :D I enjoy both the crafty things you do as well as your beautiful pictures of your loving family and the stories...and I also ENJOY the devotional posts, as well!! AND I also have to say that when I am down and out, this little pick-me up site has the ingredients to put a smile on my face!

And I have found it remarkable approaching 300-not having reached 100 FOLLOWERS yet. btw I find for blocks or milestones it is usually a good and useful thing for me to revert back to THE BEGINNING and review why I started this blogging and what my goals and motivation were at the time.

After having 4 children and homeschooling for the last 26 years, I sort of lost myself! I am so comfortable with who I am and I'm so happy- most of the time. I will admit that at times, I think, "I shouldn't be this happy, something will probably go wrong." <br /><br />There's a name for that but I can't remember what it is... Anyway, here's to being imperfectly good enough! ♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
