This is my first visit (your Monster Cupcake Toppers brought me over), but it won't be my last. :)<br /><br />By the way, I love how open you are about your connection to Him.

I was still awa...Everything happens for a reason... I was still awake and trying to fall asleep but I could not. I felt burdened by the worrisome thoughts running thru my mind like an avid runner, setting out on a race. The thoughts sounded something like this, " I am not a good enough mom, I need to do more creative activities with my kids, I do not know what my true passion is, when will I find it, I love to create but what I don't know right now what to actually create. <br />And I stood up and went to my computer - I was going to search some websites and maybe do a little online shopping to get my mind off of the worries. But instead- I saw your new blog post on my igoogle page and I wanted to read it - about the embellished 5 candle. And that led me to this post about you and your journey with blogging and finding your true passions. <br />I haven't visited a blog in quite some time because of the whole comparison thing...I always seem to leave blogs feeling not quite good enough because I am not blogging, nor am I creating nearly as much as you and other bloggers do.<br />But here I am at almost 1'o clock in the morning and I found myself learning about you. AND I am so thankful to you for your honesty in sharing your journey with all of your readers. Your post in a way has set my mind free...I need to stop comparing and just start doing...creating...and praying to my Jesus a whole lot more. Thank YOU! I can't wait to read all of your posts and I really can't wait to embellish a 6 birthday candle for my son's shark party this Sunday!!! xoxoxoxoMelissa Braithwaitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00966428925566705053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-7872649991035215392013-07-23T11:46:23.127-04:002013-07-23T11:46:23.127-04:00You grow girl and I am coming along on the ride wi...You grow girl and I am coming along on the ride with you!

I think it is more difficult for those who have Etsy shops and sponsors, because it's tempting to cater to what others want and be less focused on what your own needs are. I blog just for fun, and really focus on being authentic to myself. I'm excited that you have found your passion and wish you much good luck.

After coming out of a difficult past, I have had trouble connecting with people, but more trouble truly finding myself. I have always love creating, but when I met my mom in law, I was introduced to a whole new world! So I've just created my own blog and will def be following you. <br />I love that you love Jesus. My biggest prayer is that above anything, He shines through my blog. Thank you for staying true to yourself and inspiring me to press on in my self-discovery journey!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354566247446470121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-64767275773462217642013-07-16T18:32:19.348-04:002013-07-16T18:32:19.348-04:00Jess,

I don't even like crafting. I am not good at it, and it's just not something that I make time for. But I liked your blog anyway...even when it was about crafting :) I have been involved in lots of things over the past year or so, including a foreclosure remodel, the loss of family pets, and homeschooling, and haven't posted to my own blog or read any others in a while, but I'm trying to refocus right now and begin again. It made me feel better to see a blogger that I admire also took some time out of the blogging world. The new site looks great, and I'm glad you will still be posting!waitingforryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234800550496936573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-14352612421028184022013-07-16T17:11:59.994-04:002013-07-16T17:11:59.994-04:00You know I love you to pieces.
