After months of sitting almost forgotten on my shelf, I decided to start reading "Living Your Life as a Beautiful Offering" by Angela Thomas. The last few lines of the introductory prayer were especially meaningful. I think most of you ladies will relate (you guys might benefit too, but no guarantees).

"Where there is brokenness, bring healing. Where there is mourning, bring comfort. Where there has been 'gotta be,' replace it with 'when you are.' We bring You our everyday lives and all our imperfections. We lay everything we meant to be and everything we want to be at Your feet. Oh Father, make our offering beautiful."
