Definitely something I need to read. Thanks for this review.<br /><br />By the way, Valerie, you definitely ARE an artist.

I have to say I struggle A LOT with exactly this: "When perfection says I shouldn't try something because I don't know how to do it right, I’m going to decide to experiment." But I'm loving your gung-ho attitude about it!! ♥ Next time anyone has anything to say about my not so perfectly clean (dusty!) house I'm totally using this line, "..trying to achieve perfection actually keeps us from discovering God’s purpose for our lives." haha! <br />Cheering you on ALL the way to Italy!! And I will keep on saying it: YOU are an ARTIST! ♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237333093557464861.post-27215447719739922322015-03-11T09:09:22.381-04:002015-03-11T09:09:22.381-04:00This post speaks to my heart!

I can now return to these words when I am trying to relinquish a little bit of my persistence of being in control. :)Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985253256454974387noreply@blogger.com
