I would have been the first person to tell you that I really don't struggle with comparing myself to others...it's not a sin that easily entangles me (believe me, I have a boatload of others that do!). But, just like the book "Respectable Sins" by Jerry Bridges, I was faced with the fact that I actually do compare more than I thought as I read "Girltalk Blog" and the series they just wrapped up on their site. I was convicted, encouraged and challenged by the Word of God, wise words from the Mahaney women and some great quotes from others!
It was a GREAT series on envy...one of my favorites in all the years I have been reading them...so I was SO EXCITED when they put it all together in a PDF file format that could be downloaded and printed off! It is well worth the paper, ink and the time to read it!

Hey--I didn't know Girltalk just finished up a series on Envy. Each time I've gone to their website in the past month or so, all they have is this "52 Home" thing---and it's just a picture, literally, of something in their home, and that's it. No writing, no anything.
I click onto their website by using the link on the side of your blog, and it always takes me to "52 home" picture of the day. Am I doing somethiing wrong? Let me know if you know! :0)
I have missed reading their stuff!!
thanks!!
"Sinful comparison is a futile and destructive exercise. It robs us of joy. It destroys our peace. It plunges us into despair and self-pity. It distorts our view of a wise and loving God."
