I think that's how I'll approach it. Because then it'll seem less daunting, since it doesn't need to be immediately perfect. Thank you for your prayers!!

Our agency told us to be really descriptive and really paint a picture of your family life. I know for us we got our ideas on the page even if it wasn't written the best and just kept going back and adjusting it until it was perfect.

I usually have about 15-20 teens showing up at regular meetings. And I brought 9 on the retreat. So we still have some growing to do. <br /><br />I'd love to write some book reviews! It make take a while to get through all of them, but I'll post my thoughts at some point. :) Thanks for the suggestion!Stephanie @ Blessed to Behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432625948200484509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753193842106749410.post-53978064029347342552014-01-28T10:21:57.987-06:002014-01-28T10:21:57.987-06:00I hope your herbs grow tall and delicious. :) And ...I hope your herbs grow tall and delicious. :) And yay for helping out on a confirmation retreat.

Also the way you describe your process (and I know it's different for everyone) is making me feel more relaxed and relieved for whenever we get to that point. Love the herbs too! Fresh herbs in the winter are the best.ecce fiathttp://www.eccefiat11.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753193842106749410.post-53035936800821182272014-01-27T17:56:22.764-06:002014-01-27T17:56:22.764-06:00So glad it's all coming together!
