Confidence

“It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.”

Can't pass on good deals!

Brand new product from Toys R Us. Has a speaker that plays music on the top tray, you hook your ipod to it and plays through the speaker on top! Elijah's other stroller was dying he had beaten it up and the wheels were wobbly. This one is a jogging stroller! I'm phsyced!

It's orignally 159 plus tax, we bought it on clearence for 79, then had a 15% off coupon that they used! So it was 67 dollars! It's cute!

Good deal

What God Thinks Is All That Matters, Who cares what people think..a lot of us do

The title says it all. This is something I'm really really trying to work on, and every day I fail over and over again. So I pray that God will help me with it, and you know what, he puts the test there for me to work on it and I fail!

Sometimes I feel like I bend over backwards for some people and a lot of times I don't get that in return. I'm not saying that when I do something for someone that I expect something back. A lot of times I feel I only get called or talked to when someone needs something.

I can't say no! If I do my stomach is in pitts all day long because I feel like the worst person in the world. I can't get rid of the guilt! Why do I care what people think, I know it's PRIDE! I worry what people are going to say, what people are going to do. I care to much about it, but yet at the same time I have such a low self esteem! I feel that I can work more on my faults by letting it out, then keeping it all bottled in. No I'm not depressed or miserable. Just weaknesses I have, so if you want to judge me go ahead ! lol

This quote says it all....

"He who fears something gives it power over him."--Arab proverb

People have the power over me when it should be God I fear and what God thinks! Everything I do in this world should be to glorify him. Basically the saying, what would Jesus do.

Lord, I pray that you'll just take this prideful heart away, and fill it with concerns of you! I want to strive each day to glorify you in all I do. To love you more each day, to be with my family and help be a supportive mother and wife. Help others to see you in me! Take my worries and my fears of what the world thinks. Let me fear you and only you and live each day to the fullest, for I never know when it will be the last! I long for the day to be with you, but while I am here on earth, you are who I seek!

I love the verse, I'm going to sleep peacefully on this

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."--John 14:27

He loves me :)

Frustrations of Life

It has been one of those weeks, and it's only Tuesday! C'mon!

carbreaking
300 dollar part to fix it
Spending hrs trying to figure out what was wrong
a 4 year anniversary on thursday and david works til 8 and we dont have the extra money to do much because we spent it on a car part.
My head is pounding
Losing my wallet
Calling and canceling my cards, have to go get a new liscense
Life in general - frustrating situations
Struggling w/eating healthy, i love healthy foods but when you are just having a bad day all you want is junk!

Just frustrated! It feels good to let it out, and at the end of the day you have a child who just beats you up and screams when he gets frustrated. He loves me lol.

I'm in a good mood just frustrated like me son who gets a toy stuck and screams at the top of his lungs for mommy to fix it or turn the toy back on!

I do love my life. Just this week it's one thing after the other! Everyone have a pity party w/me! It's fun. Eat some cake for me!

Lord .. I pray that you'll just take these burdens from me and in all things let me glorify you when things don't go our way! - that's a hard thing for me!
