you have how many?!?

summer soles
an optimistic look
Imagine that God has you in the palm of his hands. You are just the size of an infant compared to the capable hands that are holding you. And as you lay in his hands, you’re curled up trying to protect yourself from the rain that is beating down on you. It’s cold, dreary, and intense. It almost feels like it’s more than you can bear. But, as you glance beneath the hands that are holding you, you see rapid waters and scorching fire. If for a moment, God was to let you go, you would surely die. Suddenly, the rain doesn’t seem so bad. And so you snuggle into the safety of Gods hands knowing that what you’re going through is manageable because you are safe with Him. And knowing that He is keeping you from things far worse allows your hope and faith to grow.
i drool…i die
and then what did you think?
blogversation topic & Q&A about the chores
clean in style
we are so much more
Do you ever feel that you’ve lost yourself? You’ve lost the person that you were before you had kids? That those dreams and hopes and hobbies are kind of pushed to the side. Or to the back, or that they’ve disappeared?
Why does that happen?
It’s not good. Not good at all.
I believe our children need to see that we are people too. They need to see that we have dreams, and they especially need to see that we are taking steps to make those dreams come true.
If we can do and be that in front of our kids, then I believe it teaches them to do the same in their own lives.
We can only be martyrs for an hour a day (I mean, let’s be realistic here), but then we have to get off our butts and be who we were created to be. And we need to do so without GUILT.
It’s good for us, for our hearts, minds and souls. And it will only serve to better our friendships, our marriage, our children and our self esteem.
Yes, I’m a mom, but I am so much more.
And so are you.
