HOW can pinterest be stressful? *giggles* But I get it. ;-) All the crafty stuff can make me feel like an inferior nitwit, since I can't do even a quarter of it, but...oh well. I can THINK that I could. ;-)<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by today, Gabe! :)Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920406327885410557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-83479668524464692912013-07-19T18:37:53.073-07:002013-07-19T18:37:53.073-07:00Melissa, I KNOW!

Waiting and praying on God's perfect time and perfect place, because there is no way I'm going anywhere without Him. :)<br /><br />I've thought about your car experience so often while shopping around for mine! Good conviction right there to fuss less and pray more. :)Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920406327885410557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-56721480719012290752013-07-19T18:36:12.641-07:002013-07-19T18:36:12.641-07:00Agreed Wanda.

It's those moments of "bad" that also help us appreciate the moments of good and GREAT! :)Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920406327885410557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-61293612673532733972013-07-19T10:02:54.235-07:002013-07-19T10:02:54.235-07:00I'm giggling to myself because Pinterest stres...I'm giggling to myself because Pinterest stresses me out! I walk away feeling like a colossal failure as a mom (why am I not doing more crafty projects with my kids?!?!), a wife (why can't I dress cuter for my husband?!?!), a home decorator (why can't I think of a better way to decorate my house?!?!?), a cook (why are we eating the same old food when there are thousands of recipes out there?!?!?), and a writer (why can't I figure out how to embrace my "voice" in images like so many other writers?!?!). But I know there are some out there who love Pinterest and it's a joy for them to browse and pin (my mom joined Pinterest about two months ago and already has almost 16,000 pins!). <br /><br />I know what you're saying, though. And I agree. I love that you're 22 and you have the wisdom of a woman far older than you. Happy Birthday! May God rain down His abundant blessings on you, Casey. You have a beautiful heart for the Lord and it's so much fun to see.Gabrielle Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479898337766911768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-25277451174756636612013-07-19T06:36:18.959-07:002013-07-19T06:36:18.959-07:00Love this post, Casey. And can I just say AMEN to ...Love this post, Casey. And can I just say AMEN to this: "Ever have one of those nights that the place you're in is suddenly not really where you want to be? That cloistering feeling filling your chest and bursting to be released?" Been there!! I am not by nature a real morose or overly-reflective person...but every once in awhile I get those, "oh my goodness, what am I doing with my life, why am I living where I'm living and doing what I'm doing and what if I'm wasting all my time?" moments. And yeah, Craigslist frustration is a good way to define it. But there's always a flip side that comes around sooner or later...sooner if I make the decision to turn my thoughts around. LOL! <br /><br />As for car shopping, here's a little hope for ya: Last summer I REALLY needed a new car. But I had no time to look and a limited budget. God ended up dropping the cutest, most perfect and affordable car right into my lap...and I never even had to go out of my way to go to a dealership or anything. It was awesome. Praying you have the same convenient experience. :) <br /><br />Happy birthday once again...and happy weekend!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620457068731162013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-11194148938208127022013-07-19T05:51:52.018-07:002013-07-19T05:51:52.018-07:00So very true.

Hard choices are there but we have the spirit of God to help us move in the right direction.
