Lately my mind has been muddled with all kinds of thoughts. Here are some of them:
::life is not always predictable
::the things you used to take for granted, can suddenly become things you appreciate so much when your heart has been broken
::kids can make you think of little things from a whole different perspective
::kids can make you cry and laugh all within 60 seconds or less
::teens can do the same thing! (maybe more crying) :)
::some of my worst shortcomings, are revealed to me through my children
::children help me see daily what it means to have "child" like faith
::I long to have that kind of faith daily
::the 'share your heart' kind of friend is rare and precious
::God knows when you will need one
::when you have that kind of friend, hang on to them
::God does answer prayer
::sometimes he answers it in a different way than we pray, but HIS way is best
::for that I am thankful!
::sometimes the days are long
::but the years ALWAYS go by fast!
::being content is essential in a world that longs to feed 'self''
::feeding self, never satisfies
::when focused on self, it will always bring discontentment
::it is miserable to live always wanting more and more and more...
::unless it is wanting more of God!
::then and only then, will you find all that you truly need!
::there is freedom when you appreciate what you have
::I pray my kids see Jesus in me, and when they don't, I hope I have taught them to forgive and not judge others
::I hope I remember that when THEY fall short and they will know Jesus love and acceptance because of MY example
::I need God's grace and mercy on an hourly basis as I journey down this path of being a wife and mother
::I am so thankful I have been given this privilege
::God is good and good to me
