Blogging is not a competition. You have to believe in yourself and put positive energy out there. I would request a prayer for peace of mind and more positive energy than I have at the moment.

I could not agree more with you about the intro, and I hate that followers box too because I'm drawn to it as well, which is SO not what this is all about. I will be greatly looking forward to Tuesdays with you :) No prayer requests at this time, but love the idea that I can read this and keep others in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

You are doing great things Dana! I think you know I have some of the same struggles(seems to be common among bloggers;) that is why I often disappear from bloggy land and reappear. If it is just another thing on the to do list or taking me away from the family then it usually hits me like a ton of bricks and I have to turn it off and regroup. That being said I would love for you to pray for my little man to have peace about me going to work or for something to change in our situation. He is totally giving me the guilt trip about working outside of the home and it is making my heart ache and wonder if I am doing all the wrong things right now. Love you girl and you are in my prayers tonight!jessica@hillcountryhomebody.blogspot.comhttp://www.hillcountryhomebody.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019278929202492471.post-65361384016042461712012-02-07T18:14:51.074-08:002012-02-07T18:14:51.074-08:00Great post Dana!

More importantly though I love your humbleness in sharing this and your heart in following the Lord's leading. Please pray for a woman at our church who has hospice coming tomorrow to start end of life care. She has children in college and one is a junior in high school. My heart is breaking for their family.Angehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080303806344069644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019278929202492471.post-46898298789503117402012-02-07T16:18:36.937-08:002012-02-07T16:18:36.937-08:00This is one of the most amazing blog postings I...This is one of the most amazing blog postings I've read. It's so good to know that I'm not alone with these feelings. I'm super new to my blog and I'm loving it whether anyone is following me or not, I honestly don't mind because posting has just kept me motivated to do the things in my home that I mostly just ponder about. I do however share that little quirk where I check out other bloggers follower #. Grrr. Well I think you're awesome. I pray to stay brave and continue this even during frustrating times.

I think baring it all with honest posts like this is what makes blogging such a wonderful outlet and community. Each and every one of us is different in a unique way, but our content is what sets us apart. Instead of comparing (which is so easy to do), I try my best to provide my unique ideas and thoughts on subject matter. I think the spiritual side of your blog is what makes you unique Dana! Thank you for this and your readers will thank you. I'd like to request a prayer for slowing down and taking things one step and one day at a time. Have a good day Dana and thank you!Holly Gruszkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562245870313515897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019278929202492471.post-10917666231863413192012-02-07T10:40:15.080-08:002012-02-07T10:40:15.080-08:00Dana, you really touch my heartstrings today!

Your blog is amazing and I love reading it everyday. "They" say that you shouldn't judge the numbers on your blog for at least a year! Sharing some of your personal thoughts is usually a good thing. I'm sure you will reap rewards of your kind generosity of prayer!Diana @ Your Day Simplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02437520262848068473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019278929202492471.post-82929397173491530322012-02-07T09:51:32.580-08:002012-02-07T09:51:32.580-08:00This is how I fell.

That's not what this is all about! I seriously love this post.

I love the idea of Transparent Tuesday. We must be on the same wavelength because today instead of just posting about interiors and fashion, I shared a little bit of my mission trip to Africa. I think it is important to have bits of yourself sprinkled within your blog. Thank you for being so honest with us! :)<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sam<br />www.ThePeakofTresChic.comThe Peak of Tres Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508037969782756867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019278929202492471.post-66053897726086837512012-02-07T06:59:22.344-08:002012-02-07T06:59:22.344-08:00Thank you for being so honest and sincere.

It is hard not to get caught up in that when you are actually trying to start up a business. Thank you for reminding me that I shouldn't be thinking I'm better or worse than anyone else out there. <br /><br />And thank you so much for offering to pray for your fellow bloggers. That is the kindest offer I have ever come across on a blog. You have a big heart and I'm sure God is happy with you and what you are doing :) I have my struggles too and they definitely try my patience as well. I have major back issues that give me a lot of pain. I keep thinking I have learned what I need to learn, but the trial continues. I guess the biggest lesson I need to learn is just to trust in the Lord and remember that He is in control. I'm sure He is very aware of you and your hopes and dreams as well. <br /><br />I'm so glad I found your blog Dana! You uplift and inspire me.

You are talented and creative, and your blog is professional looking and nice to visit.
