Thank you, thank you, thank you! The right words at the right time… especially after another month of failed conception ten years trying. I need to stay faithful and patient and give God all the glory.

I have the same issue! Ugh. May the Lord be glorified through our blunderings, eh?

Amen, sister! I’ve just finished a wonderful book called Idols of the Heart that helps expose our idolatry so we can root out all those deceptive impulses to want to bring acclaim to ourselves or worship anything besides the true God. Really, it’s all about lifting up Christ and bringing glory to our wonderful Creator!

I really appreciate this post. Though I must say, I am at the other end of the spectrum. There was woman in my life that was so determined to impress everyone she met, she had difficulty simply being a good wife & mother. Her energy was in how everyone saw her, not in how she actually was…this was my mother.
So, I learned to disdain the need to impress people with such a lack of care for the opinions of others, sometimes I would deliberately seek to be unimpressive! Even after being saved, I fight this attitude regularly – for the same reason you stated, it was not a glory to Him.
We all have area to grow in – but the same reason to do it.
Thanks for the post – BTW, I read your blog so I hope you keep posting!
