OH man! Just now reading this post but WOW it has my mind reeling in so many ways! I keep thinking about how many “just-men” there are in the church. Ugh. How many times passion and callings are squelched b/c of these people… these leaders. We’ve come into contact with that a bit recently and it’s hard to swallow! But at least we’re starting to recognize this quality that some have instead of simply listening to their advice. Wow. This may be a whole other blog-post one day!

Vanessa – Thank you so much for the encouragement and kind words. Nothing brings me more joy than knowing my creativity inspires another life to live out their God-given creativity. Thanks friend!

Katie – I have not seen Nanny McPhee, but I believe Tony watched it with my kids one night. It does look wonderful. I couldn’t find it at the library, but I did reserve the Peter Pan you mentioned. I love Peter Pan, but haven’t seen this one. Thanks!

Childlike is such a perfect word for you and your family for this year. I can’t wait to read what comes of it!

Now I MUST watch Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Imporium. Magical movies are my very favorite kind! Have you seen Nanny McPhee? I want my house to look like theirs! (Maybe a little less messy…)

But my all-time favorite magical, adventurous, “fresh-breath-to-my-soul” movie? Peter Pan (the live-action 2003 film, although the Disney movie is also a favorite). I would be careful before watching it with small children, though. Some parts can be a little intense/scary!

You are so inspired Mandy! The fact that you continue to seek and let God inspire you on such deep, sincere levels and are so transparent about it, even in the midst of this parenting/ wifing/ homeschooling thing we’ve got going on!! You are an inspiration through and through.

FYI – I think you look just like Natalie Portman. Everytime I’ve watched that movie I was reminded of you. Her energy and enthusiasm and hunger for life, along with the similar looks, just made me think of you through out the movie. I actually thought you were posting that picture because someone said something similar to you. lol

wow! thanks for this. I pull your feed in my reader, but don’t know if I’ve commented before, might be guilty of being a lurker… but I as I sort of set out on a funky transition, I find your words very encouraging. Thanks for sharing your heart. I promise to lurk less and comment more

My favorite song right now is Matt Maher’s “Alive Again.” I, too, often wonder “Am I normal?” for all of the things that go on in my thoughts! I’ve struggled to find people who have much depth. It’s seriously so refreshing for me to read your blog! Oh, and my kids loved the bunk bed picture. They had Christmas lights on their bunk bed, too.
