J, This post is exactly the spot I am in, as well. Exactly. Thank you for articulating it for me! I am a reformed competitor, too, obviously. Also a fellow Heavenly Seven. lol
I enjoyed this post because it gives me a good visual. Since I am naturally ambitious I need a mental picture to keep me from going down that competitive road again. I don't feel the need but I still need to make a conscious effort to be in a mental place that allows him to lead me.
Glad to hear that everything is falling into place in your home. What a great success you are.
