Hey girl! So funny that I haven’t read your blog in a long time, to come and read this. Love everything you wrote here.
I remember saying to you “I’m over myself”. That was not meant to make anyone feel like they were paying too much attention to theirself, only to remind me that I am not all there is. It was time for me to get into the I AM of who God is.
When you can see yourself as God does you will really see yourself for the first time. From where I stand, you are so much more than a blog. So much is said when you say, “I am a wife and a Mother.” What an anointing! Neither one of those titles is ever accomplished, finished. So, you are pursuing an incredible career as a daughter of God, a wife, a Mother. I could think of no higher praise than a life well lived unto these three!

sometimes we have to let go of some good things in our life to make room for the GREAT things God has planned.

I could not be any more proud of the person you are. I look up to you more than I will ever be able to explain. Your heart and strength are just amazing and seeing your follow it makes me smile.

I will never stop being your “friend” blog or no blog.

All my love

So so so proud of you. I know I have Kellan but it is rarely personal on there. Letting go of Filtering Life was a huge decision. You are all and more than you see yourself as. It is such a privilege and blessing to be your friend, to share motherhood, Bible Studies, girls night out, and long giggly conversations together. God will richly bless you as you rise up in your family and breath all that wonderful energy even deeper into the Grahl household. I love you!

You are a blessing to all those that hear your testimony. Never doubt that. Sending love and encouragement as you follow His lead.

Candace - what higher calling is there than to do God’s will for your life? Bravo for listening to His voice and taking action to follow Him, though there is uncertainty. He will bless you beyond what you can imagine!

Ok, this part: “I tearfully asked Tim if I was going to be okay if at the end of my life the only thing that Christ ever asked of me was to just be a wife and a mother. Not a successful entreprenuer. Not an acclaimed author. Not the owner of a really cute and fun blog. Just plain old me, a face in a sea of people, but being exactly where Jesus wants me.” … got me!!

You better stay in twitter world though so we can see what doors God opens up for you!!!

Sad!!!! I love that you are following the Lord’s leading in your life but man what a loss for those of us who love your blog :( Maybe you’ll blog about what the Lord is teaching you? Maybe? ;)

I’ve been following your blog for a short time, but totally understand what you are saying. I’ve been coming to a very similar conclusion of my own for almost identical reasons.

Never ‘just’ a wife and mom, or ‘plain old you in a sea of faces’…but the person that God has ordained and called you to be.

Brothers, I do not consider my self yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14
