The quote about Kirk Cameron made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that! :) And thanks for your insights on this subject. I heartily agree that Christians can (and should) do better. I did like Soul Surfer, however. The fact that it was based on a true story helped the believability to me. But I did think that they glossed over the struggle that the surfer-girl went through. It was more a dark minute of the soul. :) Welcome to The High Calling. I can't wait for you to dig in and become acquainted with our wonderful community. I hope you'll do that soon.

Haven't heard it put just this way before, but it makes so much sense! Can't wait to read more of your posts. We're glad to have you as a new member of The High Calling!

Congratulations on your baby…and you're he High Calling. We so right, a baby changes absolutely everything…in the best way(s). We're glad you've joined us at The High Calling. We have a lot of resources for you to use in parenting, work, and your faith journey. With a baby coming, we pray (and expect) 2012 will be your best year ever. :)

My family and I have experienced the same thing this year as we stepped out in faith to move closer to family and pursue a ministry God was calling my husband to. It's been difficult, but I've learned how FAITHFUL He is. Every. Single. Moment. I'm glad you've joined The High Calling network and look forward to reading more about your journey.

You're so right--we want a quick fix, but God calls us to "work out our salvation with fear and trembling." Good post--and welcome to the High Calling Network! We look forward to getting to know you as you have time to participate. :)

This is timely for me. :) First, welcome to the High Calling blogs community. We're really glad you've joined us. I had someone that was offended by something I said recently. I was too flippant about a touchy subject, and apologized. But this person would not let it go without attacking me, and making sure I knew just HOW offended she was, etc. I do think she's not a happy person, and tried to not let it affect me too badly. I like what you said in the first part of the post-if we're all flawed, then why should be so upset when someone (and that includes ourselves!) says something dumb? I'm just thankful for grace. Again, welcome to The High Calling. I look forward to interacting with you.

Denise, I'm so glad you're being honest about your blogging journey. We are thrilled to have you as a new member of the High Calling network and hope to feature you there soon. Let me know if I can be of help at all. :) I pray you'll feel encouraged by the posts, comment and community at The High Calling. I have a feeling you'll find lots of kindred spirits there!

April, You write with great skill and great vulnerability. You're a welcome addition to The High Calling community! It's great to "meet" you. (No badge, no category yet)

I'm so, so glad you've joined The High Calling network. I've read several of your posts and really enjoyed them. You're a wonderful writer! I look forward to getting to know you better as you have time to participate.

I think worship is one of the places where we are often tempted to make it about us, instead of about God.  I love how you're having meaningful conversations with people about worship and what a great analogy about familiarity and liturgy.  Welcome to The High Calling!

Mike, thanks for the thoughtful post. I have watched the events unfolding over the last few months with curiosity, dread, and a great deal of trepidation. I'm so glad that we know-whatever happens-that Christ WILL come and His perfect kingdom WILL be established. Welcome to the High Calling network. I'm a fellow Wordserve author (Greg is my agent), and I'm also one of the welcome editors. We're really glad to have you in the community!

I love this. You're right on! :) I also love that you linked to The High Calling, and that you joined us in the HC community. Welcome~I look forward to getting to know you better as you have time to participate. :)

I'm a suburb girl who visited a dairy farm this summer. I didn't get to see the cows finding water sources but we did get to see them being milked by a giant milking machine. :) I think your cows make for a good parallel. This post reminds me of a song I was singing today about being thirsty for Living Water. I love how God does that - confirms His word in us in a variety of ways. Thanks for being part of His living word today. And welcome to The High Calling!

I love that--the right job is out there, waiting for her. Amen! :) I also love Jer. 29:11. It has been a lifeline for me so often when things "look" out of control. Thanks for your honesty, and sharing your journey with us at the High Calling. Welcome!

I'd love to get a masters' degree. And get a children's book published. I have a lot more, but I'll leave it at that. By the way, welcome to The High Calling. We're so glad you've joined our community and hope you find inspiration and encouragement. :) Like Reply

Thanks for these resources. I'll definitely have to check out the Nativity Lego instructions. And thanks for joining The High Calling. We're glad to have you! :) Let me know if you have questions about how to get involved. I'll be emailing you shortly with more info. Blessings on your Christmas week!

How I adore this song! :) One of my husband's old college buddies, Chris Rice, wrote it, and my favorite words are the last chorus. Stunning stuff. Thanks for reminding me of "Welcome to our World" today. And by the way, welcome to OUR world of The High Calling (I know that's extremely cheesy-but I couldn't resist!). We're glad to have you!

She is "ready to kiss and tell.' Nice imagery. Tony, we're so glad you've joined The High Calling. Welcome!

I've been reading Ann's book, and it is so challenging and encouraging. I agree-it's life-changing. We're glad you're recommending it, and we're glad you've joined her-and us-in the High Calling network. Here's praying that 2012 brings you lots of joy, "SEEING," and gratitude!

Wow. I am so floored by the life you're leading. I work with refugees and know that those who died were refugees trying to escape persecution. Any how, I adore the title of your blog (such a neat picture, too) and I absolutely think your boys are going to grow up to be extraordinary men. Thanks for sharing a little of your life with us at The High Calling. I look forward to reading more!

Congrats on the success you've had in 2011. I pray you'll see lots more blessings in 2012. And thanks for joining the community at The High Calling. We are glad to have you!
