Make a Wish...

Okay, I'll play...

I wish my taste buds preferred 'salty' instead of 'sweet'.

I wish I was that Mom. You know the Mom I'm talking about. The one that lets her children explore and seems so carefree and never worries. I'm nowhere close to that Mom.

I wish my fingernails weren't so thin.

I wish I was confident speaking in front of a group.

I wish my husband could be around me around 10:00 each morning. I'm not grouchy then and have lots of energy.

I wish I had a Target gift card. Oh, and a Barnes and Noble gift card. Oh, and an Ann Taylor Loft gift card. Oh, and.... you get the point.

I wish I enjoyed coffee so I could share that with my husband.

I wish I could play the piano.

I wish I could draw.

I wish I would think more before I speak. Dern it! I cannot get that one right.

I wish I could fall asleep quickly at night and not lie awake for hours.

I wish I was a little more patient.

I wish I wasn't so sensitive.

I wish I wasn't so skeptical and a little more trusting.

I wish I wasn't such a perfectionist.

I wish I wasn't allergic to dogs and cats so my girls could have a pet other than a hermit crab or fish. Boring!

I wish I had the guts to go skydiving.

I wish I had better short term memory. I can remember a stranger's 10-digit savings account number from 20 years ago, but I can't remember if I've already washed my hair while I'm still in the shower. (What on earth?)

I wish I was a morning person.

I wish I could resist Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies. It's an illness.

I wish my hair was thicker.

I wish I wasn't afraid of thunderstorms.

I wish I was better at keeping in touch with people.
This could be an 'endless list'.....

Now you play along (and let me know you do).

If I had a blog, I would play.... Who doesn't wish they were more patient? I do.

I wish I could lose my last 10 pounds of baby weight (my baby is 2).

I also wish I didn't like chocolate.

I enjoyed reading your list. I like visiting your blog each day. I'm always so encouraged.

My list would be long, too. But, I'm finally learning to accept myself for who I am. Considering I just turned 40, it's about time!

Becoming Me said...

Ditto to Melissa. And I think That Mom is the same woman as That Wife and she lives only in our self-critical fantasies. :-)

My biggest wish...is that my heart...would beat as my Fathers.......sigh...

I wish that my special BFF would see herself as God and I do....
I wish she would see the wonderful caring godly mom that she is to those 2 special girls...
I wish she would know that she has a home of love that is is directly from God...
I wish she would realize the well of Godly wisdm she shares with so many people...
I wish she would when she speaks in public realize that it is God speaking through her and what a ministry he has for her...
I wish she would accept that she is a beautiful person inside and out...
I wish she would realize when God sees her heart he sees a heart after his own heart....
I wish she would realize all the talents she has far out weight the ones she doesn't have...
I wish she would realize all the things she wants to change are the things that make her the special person she is...

As for me I don't think there's a big enough wish to do all the changing I need.

Love ya

Okay, it is like you just wrote my list! Scary! We would be great friends!

I hate to keep leaving notes on here but I resent that email for you. :)

I do know you and know what an extraordinary person you are. You speak with so much wisdom and teach all of us what living a godly life looks like. You should not wish anything different.

I love you - guess who?
