Thoughts...

I have the best life...
I'm not a millionaire but I don't care.
Not everything that happens in my life is perfect, but the memories I make are.
I'm not afraid to leave the dishes to go color or bake something yummy with Charlie.
I wear pajamas pretty much all day long and that is alright by me!

Whenever we go out I always try and find something to teach Charlie and learn myself. That's how I found out there were two kinds of camels (ones with 1 hump and ones with 2), elephants (African elephants whose ears are shaped like the continent Africa and Asian elephants whose ears are small) and zebras (stripes on bellies and white bellies). Isn't that neat?! Bet you didn't know that!
 
And I'm reminded every time I see a sunset, a rainbow, a shooting star or something as simple as a flower that God holds me right there in the palm of His hand- and that as long as I'm in the Potter's hands I'm forever changing into what He wants me to be- and that one day I'll get to see what is beyond the firmament-what eye has not seen and what ears have not heard- and look into His beautiful face!

My life will never be published in a magazine, but as long as my children and my children's children remember my legacy then I have made an impact- and so I must live as if my family were to read my life like a book, that it would 1. be worth reading and 2. that it would have my love for God and life written on every page! And live so, that if anyone were to say something bad about me, no one would believe it!

I have been challenged in 2011 to do something different. To read my Bible more, to find out more about what's in it and how I can apply it to my own life. I want to pray more and get the relationship I had with God at age 14 back, because I need Him so much! Where I am and where I'm going is up to Him...and I can't wait to get to see God use my little boys to do something great- I pray it everyday and hold that promise that He will hold no good thing from me...

I feel totally honored that God wants to spend time with me and wants a relationship with ME! 

It is late and I must get to bed...I just had few things to say...and let's face it, this was too long for a Facebook status! ;)
