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 !

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...

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with The Simple Woman's Blog for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow. Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important. We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off. Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again. I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects. My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

Today I am joining up with The Simple Woman to give you a peek into my daybook for this week... Outside my window.... There is a light dusting of snow. Nothing too intimidating...yet. I am thinking... That a salad for lunch sounds good today. I do not usually like salad so this is a little weird. I am thankful... That I was able to spend quality time with my people the past week and a half. I am wearing.... Work attire :( no more sweats until whenever I have to leave the house. I am creating... I just purchased some new yarn over the weekend. So I am getting ready to start a new scarf and some boot cuffs. I am going... To Walmart on lunch. Yep, back to normal this week. I am wondering.... How many days until the next holiday :) I am reading.... Just my devotional this week. I am doing Jesus Calling again this year and maybe the Women of the Bible devotional as ...
