That was really great! I can SO relate to being an acts of service girl and having some quality time people in my family! I love your definition of perfect. I'm going to start using that definition when I'm tempted to be perfectionistic in my own life. Love ya, Joanna Wow, Tomi! That was really great!

I love your definition of perfect. I’m going to start using that definition when I’m tempted to be perfectionistic in my own life.

Love ya,
Joanna

Funny, this is EXACTLY what God is working out in my own family. This is just a confirmation of some recent events in my own family. Just earlier this week I had a situation with our oldest and my husband knew it. When he got home, he asked how the day was, and she began to say, "Augh! She's so......." He just began to laugh and then said, "God so knew what he was doing when He made our family. He gives us JUST what we need!" I was shocked at first, then it made me laugh as well. He does put people in our lives to work things out of us. If only we could ALWAYS remember that in the moments where you feel like pulling your hair out...or theirs! ;0) It's refreshing to know there are always others that have walked, or are walking, the same things out. Thanks for sharing, Tomi....you're a jewel! Love you, girl- Tomi, I’m realizing how many *sisters* I have! :0) Thank you for sharing this.

This was just another moment of sitting at your feet and being filled with gracious encouragement regarding the family front of life...Such candid and real visuals you offer from within your four walls with God's Word so appropriately complimenting and bringing refreshing perspective and promise. This was SO for me today... After an exhausting one with my bunch, I am smiling as I realize, despite it all, we are the perfect family, too! LOVE THAT! and Love you! (Let me know where to catch you at your first book signing!) Leah Dearest Tomi,

The wisdom you pour out is priceless as usual! I love the process of my perfect family too. This week especially, I needed the reminder that I just might be perfect for them too. I cherish the treasure you are to me. I agree with Ris, my life is richer knowing and growing with you as my friend. PLEASE put more of your wisdom and life lessons to ink and share them with the world. Then they could be like apples of gold in pitchers of silver over and over again as they are read and re-read, passed on and shared again. Love you! Me Dear Sweet Lady,

I guess it's been three years ago now ... I saw you from across the room and God was like, "I'm doing something here. Keep your eye on it. You have something to glean from here." Of course He IS God and always right but the more I have had the opportunity to know you my life has been the richer for it. Your love for the Father alone ... then the fruit that has come from your closet places with Him ... thank you. On behalf and with all the DIB writers ... thank you so much for writing for and sharing your heart with our readers!!! And on a personal note thanks for being my friend and a Mommy sounding board that always directs me to Him in the way of gaining my children's hearts. I love you! ~Ris Tomi,
