Embrace Who I Am

It's Friday! We are sliding into a long weekend and couldn't be more thrilled! In all our busyness, Eric and I just realized that Monday is a holiday for the kids AND HIM and we haven't planned a thing. Love it!

I have just one more week before my oldest baby is out for summer and I have a ton of things to do until then. I have this ridiculous idea to have certain projects completed before she's out because I know .... I know I won't do them once she's here all day.

Man, that sounds good .... to have her here all day (remind me of that come July, okay?).

Seriously, the very day we were moving into this house she was starting first grade. Her first year of going to school all day and I feel like we've been playing catch-up ever since. I have MISSED her and I believe our relationship is showing signs of surrender and begging for TIME.

And, TIME is what we'll have - thank you, Jesus!

With all that said, I found a wonderful devotion this morning that I feel I should link to. It's by Lysa TerKeurst from Proverbs 31 ministries. My Father has put this very subject of comparing myself to other women THREE different times this week and I am listening .... and thanking Him for every word. It's time to embrace who I am and there is so much freedom that comes with that. Check it out (read it, Mandy - you'll love it!).

Have a great Memorial Weekend everyone! What a great opportunity to pray for our country ... Love you guys!
