The Alchemist is one of my favorite books. I have read almost all of Paulo Cuehlo’s books. I love how you summed The Alchemist into your own life. I’m not married yet, but I know and heard it is a lot of work. Although, most rewarding in the end. Thank you for sharing. :)

Rad, Jeanine. I’ve really been trying to live this out and I have found joy in my perception that Sid feels free and light-hearted. I feel like I’ve been liberated! Our home has been more harmonious and I hope that my heart has changed, rather than that this is just a temporary inspiration.

Ok Jenn…thank you for this ! I have just been praying this in my own marriage ! I went to an awesome Bible study led by a musician I really admire. After one visit, I knew, as much as I loved the study, Nathanael would love it even more. So I had him go the following week, and he was hooked. And since Hudson is super sick all the time, I had to accept that my place is at home with my kids, and Nathanael gets to go and serve and be used by the Lord . Jealousy and bitterness started to well up in me, but I realized it was an attack to try to tear down my marriage, and cause Nathanael to resent me. So, I try joyfully to encourage him in his wants, and really find my place in the home.This was complete confirmation from the Lord for me that my heart is going in the right place !
