I am so glad someone is talking about this, in a public forum. I've been in both kinds of jobs--those where my worth has been extremely valued, and those where I've felt like a business expense. In the first, benefits were offered (not just wages, as you accurately said) which made me more loyal. In the latter, I felt used, abused, and cranky. God's wisdom ALWAYS trumps the world's. Always. Thanks for posting this, and for joining The High Calling. We're so glad to have you aboard!

I have fallen flat on my face more times than I can count, when I've relied on myself (or the world) instead of God. Thanks for the reminder to find my balance in Him. And thanks for joining The High Calling. We're really glad to have you!

I love your message. It's so needed! I'm glad you are speaking the truth, unashamed. We have been bamboozled. Keep after it--and thanks for joining the High Calling. We're really glad to have you in the community!

'm so glad you've linked up with The High Calling! I love your photos and your blog, and hope that you'll find our community a warm place to "hang out" and to find encouragement and inspiration. You are obviously very talented and creative-so I think you'll find some kindred spirits at THC. Welcome!

Wow. I love this post. You have a real talent for capturing Truth through your words. I am thrilled that you've decided to join The High Calling community, and was touched by your post on "ordinary." Welcome to our HC family-I hope we can be an encouragement to you as you share His love through your blog. (I love the name, by the way!) Blessings! Your comment is awaiting moderation.

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.

I'm so sorry for what you've been through. And I know how insecure women can feel when we look at the "perfect" (who aren't really) bloggers. I've been there! I'm thankful you are still holding on to God, and grateful that you've chosen to link up with us at The High Calling. May God continue to carry you in His arms of grace.

That opinion underscores the lack of real leadership in the world today. I get irritated when people treat politicians as potential saviors-because we already have One. But I do wish that world leaders would step up in times like 9/11. Great thoughts! Thanks for sharing them, and for joining us at the High Calling network. We look forward to hearing more from you. Welcome!

I LOVE that quote (thanks for sharing it!) and totally understand the struggle that blogging brings. Jesus' view of success is totally opposite of the world's, isn't it? That's what makes it so hard--and helps us rely on Him. Thanks for joining the High Calling network. I pray we can encourage you in your goals, and hopefully--as a bonus--bring new readers to your blog. Welcome!

I'm so glad you're talking about this issue. And I'm thrilled that you've joined The High Calling. Welcome aboard. I look forward to getting to know you better! BTW, I will be featuring this post tomorrow in a New Member Feature. Well deserved-congrats! :) Leave a Reply

Kristin, I see you're an avid reader! I have two other books that I would highly recommend. The first is "Sink Reflections" written by Flylady (Marla Cilley) and is a wonderful book that practically addresses clutter in a way that is not overwhelming. There's even a Facebook page for Flylady. The second is 1000 Gifts by Ann Voskamp. It's a wonderful book about practicing the discipline of gratitude, written by someone who struggles with agoraphobia. Powerful! And welcome to The High Calling!

I thought the same thing when I read Ann's post. We've been doing a lot of remodeling in our home this year, and seeing that kitchen...well, it puts things into perspective, doesn't it? And by the way, welcome to The High Calling!

What an incredible story of God's protection! I was so struck by the fact that you had the presence of mind, or maybe the Presence of God, to think to pull on the emergency break.  So glad to welcome you to The High Calling!

And leave one with your neighbor, so she can watch the house while you're away. But remember to give her the new key from when the locksmith changed the keys recently, so that when you forget to turn off your straightening iron, she can check it for you. Yes, that would have saved some stress this morning. :) By the way, welcome to The High Calling!
