Unleash the Power to Be Yourself

Free to be me !!!! Wow, if it only felt that easy. I am a hot mess people. I struggle with body image, fashion image, being good enough, being nice enough, being helpful enough, and on and on and on....

God says I am fearfully and wonderfully made. He knit me in my mother's womb. He is honored by letting his light shine through me. He knows I am beautiful and lovely and a sinner.

Yep, I am a sinner. I mess up a lot! I do not end my day feeling like it was the bomb, but I do end my day praying to God to forgive my sins and to help me do better the next day. I do this every single night.... and he forgives me.....every single night.

I am so thankful for God who loves me like that. Who besides God could? I know my family loves me but they are human. Wiping the slate clean every single day is not something that comes easily to us. I wish God had given us the ability to completely erase from our minds when we are hurt or hurt others so that we truly could forgive and FORGET.

Thank you Jesus for leaving your Holy Spirit with us to live in us and help to make our sins fewer than they would be otherwise. Help me to listen closely and more often to the Holy Spirit so that I make better and wiser decisions. Help me to understand your words and promises and love me for the Hot Mess that I am.

I am striving every day to let my uniqueness as a person and my acceptance of that uniqueness shine through. I want people to know the real me. Jesus came to set the captives free! Therefore, I am truly free to be me !

What's going on around here....

I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book. Link up and share yours and read the other links.... For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction. Outside my window....Snow. We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted. I can handle this. I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty. I am thinking...how nice to have the day off. Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it. I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days. I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :) I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me. It is hosted by Living to Tell the Story . My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night. My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations. Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen. They were talking about casual and personal things. I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well. It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee. My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2. I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week. I am ready to shut the books on this we...
