6 Word Story

There is a legend that says Ernest Hemingway made a bet that he could make people cry with a six-word story. He won the bet with, For Sale: Baby Shoes. Never worn.

I was reading a blog post this morning about this topic. I started thinking about what my 6 word story would be. Those 6 words that best describe me. Could I sum up my life in 6 words? I came up with this.

Wife. Mother. Lover Of Creative Beauty.

That is the basic summary of me. I am proud of my role as wife and mama. I love my husband and kids deeply and madly. I love to find the beauty in everything. I love to create beauty around me. 

What is your 6 word story?

Another Life Lesson Learned

I am tired. I am tired of giving all without being filled back up. I am empty, my needs have all been placed on the back burner. I have got to start taking care of myself properly. It is okay to put your needs first. I am learning that things that others classify as selfish, are not.  I am not selfish to spend extra money on healthy food to nourish my body.  I am not selfish for loosing myself in a knitting project or a Xbox game, in order to combat the stress that I feel and instead of tackling the dishes in the sink or the mess on the floor.  I am not selfish for telling my kids to go play and give me a little bit of quiet.  I am not selfish for telling others no, I cannot help with that right now.

I am not being selfish when I need a break from my husband, kids and dogs. I am simply learning and choosing to refill my cup s...

Let My Life Be The Proof

I struggle daily, with this at a follower of Christ. Am I speaking words that speak the love of Jesus? Am acting how Jesus would act when I am faced with trials and temptation?  Am I showing love to my fellow humans, even if we do not agree on certain topics? Am I being to a light those who need it most? Are my words being followed by actions of love? If I do not love, I have nothing. Jesus told us that the greatest of these is love. He wants us to love as He loves us. He calls us to love.     ''If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what ...

So Excited!

I went to Wal-Mart last week and they have their Christmas stuff out!! We bought 3 tree ornaments. I have already bought gifts for my brother, brother in law, father in law, sister in law, my mom, nephew, and the 3 kids my kids play with all the time. I am so proud of myself so starting my shopping so early! I am desperately trying to be finished before the rush starts. It was so fun to watch Cohen get excited about the display trees and their lights. His eyes were full of wonder and excitement. I cannot wait for the holidays to begin!
