Hopefully, God will give me grace and yet stretch me at the same time.&amp;nbsp; I'm always afraid of asking Him to improve me, because I know it just might be hard, uncomfortable, or even painful.&amp;nbsp; So here I go...each morning:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; "Lord, make a difference in me so I&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; can make a difference in the world."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll keep you posted on how this all plays out.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Thank you Glen Elliot for such a simple, yet stretching challenge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And thankyou Nicole for giving me a 2nd perspecive.&amp;nbsp; Read her blog at&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.thepixelboutique.com/"&gt;http://www.thepixelboutique.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/351207463612824203-8976310684429465594?l=micheleinthemidst.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://micheleinthemidst.blogspot.com/feeds/8976310684429465594/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://micheleinthemidst.blogspot.com/2010/01/here-we-go.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/351207463612824203/posts/default/8976310684429465594'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/351207463612824203/posts/default/8976310684429465594'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://micheleinthemidst.blogspot.com/2010/01/here-we-go.html' title='Here we go'/><author><name>Michele</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06069571692721640104</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w_U7f7bG6Tg/S0FZHnCW9UI/AAAAAAAAABc/JVdTwa6KDrs/S220/louise0036.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
