Lately...

me
Photo by Samuel


I'm feeling encouraged and optimistic.

I'm praying when I feel worried or fearful.

I'm letting go of control and trusting God.

I'm thankful for the family and the home that my children are growing up in, even though I'm not perfect.

I'm trying to remind myself (again!) that I'm not perfect and to stop holding myself to that standard.

I'm letting go of expectations and just enjoying life.

I'm making a conscious effort to focus on how much I love and appreciate my family and not be consumed with the mundane day to day tasks.

I am thankful for a healthy church and a fresh start.

I'm making new friends and hanging out more with my old ones.

I'm choosing to cling to God during my trials and praise Him in my victories.

I'm in love with my husband and my sweet little ones.

  1. I think the hardest thing is to let things go and trust in God! I know I struggle with that and have to constantl pray that I am willing to give it all up to him!

    There is nothing better than realizing that and in turn get that optomistic, happy feeling about life!

  7. Your positive attitude is inspiring other positive attitudes! Look at these comments! I agree with each and every thing you've said and pray I have the ability to embrace them and keep them in my mind. I can only imagine how much you have to do, but you do it wonderfully with love and with style! And your family is grateful, that I can promise you.
