I just blogged about it at http://www.5ohwifey.com/2011/10/finding-joy.html<br /><br />I love how you talk about her being famous to her family. That is exactly what I need to be worried about. Not that it's a sin to seek prosperity in your work, as you said, but we need to set our priorites on Him, our family, everyone else, then us.

I do love to write and create, and to be able to help my family via the work of my hands to me is what this is all about. I am so small right now, and we are so desperate, that I really can't wait until I actually have the ability to say that I was able to provide for my family via this medium. <br /><br />One thing that is REALLY hard for me is feeling like I have to be MORE plugged in than I already am. I don't know how - with my kids and responsibilities around my home, etc - that I could possibly "tweet" more, or FB more... when I am online I am working on my shop or my blog, and I don't think about my life enough in the context of Twitter enough to say something about every little thing that might be interesting, even though that might help me grow my blog or my shop. I really, really struggle so much with this I just want to quit sometimes. <br /><br />So for me - yes, I do desire "fame" - but because I NEED TO SUPPORT MY FAMILY. That's my biggest motivation. And, to know that by sharing my experiences with others helps them along, it's a beautiful circle and makes it all worth it even if this doesn't pan out for me in the end. <br /><br />Just being real.<br /><br />So, please follow my blog! Help me out!!<br /><br />Brooke<br />fromunderhisfeathers.blogspot.combrooke hammelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667159784053878448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457925090665385467.post-61270947929766987462011-10-17T17:49:35.567-07:002011-10-17T17:49:35.567-07:00I'm here from Casey's blog and wanted to t...I'm here from Casey's blog and wanted to take a look.

I'm still praying for direction on whether blogging is truly something the Lord has for me. So far it has been an incredible little journey. If I get the green light, I'll be contacting you. I'd love to be a part of your team. I read your beliefs and everything.

God has often reminded me that he wants me to be "nameless and faceless". That when people hear me speak or read my words, they would leave thinking "wow, God is amazing!" not, "Heather is amazing".
