When it comes to ...Thought provoking post, Crystal. When it comes to the "am I living my best life?" question, I remember the maxim "God doesn't call us to be successful, but to be faithful." That isn't the easiest either! Actually putting in the good day's work, being truly present to loved ones--all the little acts of being faithful (in the sense of trustworthy as well as full of belief) are the stuff of a good life of deep character. Doing more often results when we try to be more our true selves, faithfully plugging away at the small things that tend to grow into bigger things.Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.com
