Sometimes I worry that if I give it all to God, He'll take it away. He might, but Jeremiah says that He has good thoughts toward me to bring me to an expected end! Thank you so much for this encouragement! <br /><br />P.S. I love the name Hannah! It was my favorite doll's name. Then I lost her so I named my next favorite one Hannah!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335689970676214959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232637960654702363.post-45582345743285940742015-09-17T14:45:17.172-07:002015-09-17T14:45:17.172-07:00Hannahs unite!

Sometimes I wish I possessed a fancier name, more whimsical and unique. But then I realize that God gave me this name, this path, and this life. He gave you your name, path, and life too. Who are we, the pottery, to talk back to the Potter? And then I also realize this: Hannah means grace. <br /><br />I mean, how can that be a coincidence? (Once you get to know me, that statement will makes sense.) <br /><br />Your insights on the story of Hannah speak so much truth, and I can agree with you that I fear giving things up to God. But oh, how much will we gain when we give up? <br /><br />I talk too long. But I'm very glad to meet you and can't wait to read more of your lovely blog! <br /><br />Your Fellow Hannah ~<a href="http://graceineverything.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Grace in Everything</a>~Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11043759960107103458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232637960654702363.post-2129886917548514592015-09-16T08:09:56.308-07:002015-09-16T08:09:56.308-07:00omg. ♥ First off, thank you for sharing all your t...omg. ♥ First off, thank you for sharing all your thoughts on this. It was an honor to read what you've been meditating on lately, and I've been thinking about the meaning of "trust" a lot, as well. Sometimes it's just <i>so hard</i> to let go and let God, but I think we all kind of have this sense, deep down, that it's more important than anything. Isn't that was Jesus meant when he told us that the will of the Father is for everyone to believe in the one whom he sent? (John 6 somewhere, I think.) It sounds so simple, but it's really not. In fact, I think it's what pretty much everyone struggles with the most. If we can put our full trust in God, the rest is detail. <br /><br />Thank you again for this. ♥<br />love,<br />abbieAbbieehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315835789865447678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232637960654702363.post-81567839516072673742015-09-16T04:52:06.359-07:002015-09-16T04:52:06.359-07:00Like I said before, I absolutely love the name Oli...Like I said before, I absolutely love the name Olivia.
