Write.
Mother’s Day program at my kids school, today.
Being around all those super-sexy, Latina mom’s is intimidating enough, but throw in the million-mile-a-minute Spanish that happens when a large group of women is in one room and it kinda makes me want to slip into a coma.
I better go paint my toenails red and find a push-up bra. I do what I can to fit in.
*shhhh* It’s giving me have a nervous tummy ache. :\
stay on my diet. I know that sounds like a small thing, but it is huge for me

Ugh, I know EXACTLY what you mean! Had to walk by donuts and a potluck today without eating anything!!!
Have you read “Thin Within” by Judy/Arthur Halliday? Great book from a faith-based perspective on overcoming eating issues!
if you’re not living a life on the edge of fear, you aren’t really living :-)
DUDE! You totally missed your chance!! You coulda’ asked them to remake your Starbucks!! ;) ha!
Good post. Im gonna do it…
Already done. It’s always uncomfortable and risky to reach out to others even when there’s a fear they’ll think you have an ulterior motive. But, we’re still called to love and loving means taking the risk of being misunderstood and even rejected.

I’m not sure what I can risk today.
Maybe I should keep applying for college loans and trust that God will provide for me.
I’m hoping I’ll notice good risks today and joyfully jump into them.
Right now, life scares me! :)
Another favorite saying of mine. Not saying I do it. But I should. I hate to feel scared or anxious. But I am, a lot. My imagination runs wild about what could happen. Especially here, now that we don’t live in la-la super safe land anymore. :(
Scary for me today was going to a new hair place after being paralyzed with indecision for too many weeks to make the break.
Oh…… and even THINKING about having to learn how to drive….. now that’s seriously scary for me. Picture of me thinking about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream. Hee!
Buying a 5th wheel RV, selling our belongings, putting the rest in storage, packing up and living in it with our little family of 5 with no idea of how the future will pan out, but knowing it will be good because the Lord is leading us to and obedience brings blessing. SO EXCITED!
Okay … we did it. Picked a 5th wheel out and put down a deposit! :)
On tv the other day I heard a guy say….”Faith is often spelled r-i-s-k.” Made me smile and think of you!
@bahava says:
today…i risked saying good-bye. all week i risked pouring out love knowing that good-bye would come. that i wouldn’t get to tuck little ones into bed tonight. that i wouldn’t get to hold them in my arms and pray with them. i risked letting them go back to all sorts of homes…and yet trusting that they are going with god.
risk.
ugh.
but, i’m learning.
and, i’m doing.
which is a great big giant risk for me.
Alece,
Love that quote…for me right now strangely enough its being able to share about Africa. I hope that makes some sense
Release my children to God.
I need to quit praying “protect them Lord and never let anything bad happen to them” (even though I will still pray it :)
I need to start praying “God, please continue to drown me in your peace, hope and joy so that I can endure anything that happens in life.”
