Where I Blog

Kate over at Centsational Girl asked us to post a picture of where we blog. I had to laugh because I truly do have my "spot" that is strictly mine. Its in a large very worn, comfy leather chair that sits in the corner of my living room between two windows. It gets great light and I have a direct view to the kids in the other room. Every morning after I get my oldest off to school, I grab my cup of Tea Latte and settle in to peruse my daily favorite blogs. (Kates included, of course!).

Things we dont want others to see

As I was reading around in blog land today- I went to my daily blogs and Kimba's at A Soft Place to Land stopped me in my tracks! See I too suffer from looking good on the outside to others but on the inside-umm not so much. I admit there are days I read all the great home decor blogs and turn around and look at all the "needs" to be done and the depression is overwhelming. I constantly compare my home to the other bloggy homes out there. Then today it hit me- we are ALL the same- (at least Im hoping we are) We are all striving to make our homes beautiful to the outside world but in the day in and day out-we are not a picture of perfection. This is so true of our spiritual lives too-we go to church, sing our praises, smile real big, but on the inside we are all still a "work in progress". I am so truly grateful that God loves me right where I am at, but loves me enough not to leave me there.

Here are the beautiful things YOU see.

and here is what you dont see...... the REAL day to day Eck Life. Will you still love me? accept me? I sure hope so, but even if you don't- I serve a God who does!
