Hi Kristen! There is a series of books by Stormie Omartian that I think you would love! The one I am reading now is The Power of a Praying Wife. She also as written Power of a Praying Parent, Praying Husband, etc… They are awesome!!!
I am really trying to learn how to really live too…working on my relationship with Jesus, with my husband and definitely trying to become a better parent! You have inspired me throughout the last year…you are amazing!!
Me too, Kelly…
I want to learn how to really be myself. Instead of looking at myself as the way I think others want me to be, I just want to walk my own path and be totally at peace in my own skin. I want to learn to see myself as God’s masterpiece, His beautiful work of art. When I see myself that way, maybe then I can see my mom and my daughter as God’s on-purpose made-this-way-because-it’s-the-best-way-display-His-glory gift to me.
Candi, that’s my desire, too. I want to be me on purpose (or with a purpose!).
Kristen, I’m excited about this series. You come up with the greatest ideas!
I also need “How to Really Live Without Fear.”

that would be kendal not kendaloo.com – although that is a cool cool name!
I want to learn how to really be brave. I’m really looking forward to read about some of the theams you’ve wrote down. You’re amazing!
I think you nailed it on the head with your list! I am so glad that I am not the only one fighting the battles I fight-although my enemy would like me to think so! Thanks for this-looking forward to it.
I want to learn everything you just wrote on your list…Seriously! Isn’t it the ideal? I want to really learn how to love and live like Jesus.
Can I get an Amen?
Looking forward to these posts, Kristen!
So excited for this!!!! My word of the year is “Live” so this is just perfect! I have MS so I’m looking forward to LIVING this year and really making the most of each day.
Now *this* is a series I can get behind!

I want to learn to truly live for the Lord and walk by the Spirit. I think the rest of the things in my life will naturally happen if I’m really walking IN the Spirit DAILY.
