I think you're totally right about fixing ourselves on Him, because when we do that, everything seems to be set straight. I love the sunflower illustration! You are the best :)Erin Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628227278936826348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448346043705610950.post-37614297985602924392016-12-10T22:38:14.496-05:002016-12-10T22:38:14.496-05:00This is very good.

But I mean less thought, not thinking about us, or even thinking about others, so much. Less thinking and just doing. Looking up and standing tall, not because of us but because of Him. And at the same time as we are pointing towards God like sunflowers to the sun, we will look beautifully right. How He wants us. I don't know if I'm conveying what I mean, ugh. Anyways :)Nina and Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171270936768265576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448346043705610950.post-68734890371582063212016-12-09T11:03:02.183-05:002016-12-09T11:03:02.183-05:00I'm right there with ya!

Because so often I feel like I'm really vain/prideful or super insecure. It's an odd fluctuation. I'm glad you're learning to love yourself. You are awesome! :) Erin Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628227278936826348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448346043705610950.post-5628229472303532582016-12-09T11:01:46.896-05:002016-12-09T11:01:46.896-05:00Aw, you are so sweet!

SCREAM IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS BECAUSE I KNOW NEED TO HEAR IT JUST AS MUCH AS 7 BILLION OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD AND THANK YOU FOR THIS. <i>"I would never dream of talking to others the way I do to myself in my mind. It's appalling. Something's got to give."</i> <<< ouch.

I prayed that God would use it, so I'm so glad to hear that He did :D Thank you so much for your encouragement!<br /><br />I'm so glad it resonated with you! I love my characters so deeply, too, it's such an amazing thing to be able to create...and it's those little differences and oddities in them that makes me love them all the more. I want to celebrate those quirks in others and myself because that is how we were made! :)<br /><br />Thank you so much! This comment made my heart full.

Because it really does feel like it's counterproductive...but when we see God and how He sees us, it turns into worship of Him. I'm still learning this but I think that's what the goal is - to get close to Him and have our perspectives of everything shift to His. :) Thanks for commenting!Erin Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628227278936826348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448346043705610950.post-45957724077182286012016-12-04T22:19:36.949-05:002016-12-04T22:19:36.949-05:00Oh my goodness, Erin, you always seems to share ex...Oh my goodness, Erin, you always seems to share exactly what I need to hear. I've really been loving this series of yours, no pun intended, haha. <br /><br />Your analogy about our written characters really hit me. Because when I started actually thinking about it, it honestly made me want to cry. Thinking about how much that I love my characters, and how upset I'd be if they wanted to change or be someone else, and then thinking about how God must feel that way, multiplied by about a trillion. Wow. I've actually never thought about it that way before, and I don't think that that analogy is going to be leaving me any time soon. <br /><br />Every line that you write is filled with so much beauty and truth, Erin. I love it more than I can possibly say. <3Grace Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07864931544458385634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448346043705610950.post-54530123114654103332016-12-04T21:59:20.723-05:002016-12-04T21:59:20.723-05:00This was such a good post--I think you made some r...This was such a good post--I think you made some really important points. Especially the idea that loving yourself can sound sort of arrogant, but it really comes down to loving God, and being thankful for the way he designed us.

That last line ..."We are vastly loved." <br /><br />That last line literally gave me chills. I'm very excited for more of "The Love Series". Your writing is incredible. It's lyrical and smooth. It sings with meaning and a depth that is hard to find. Bravo. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15514396066746617960noreply@blogger.com
