Dressing Cute
With the feeling that I have too much on my plate right now, I am focusing on odd things such as cleaning out my house, dressing super fun and cooking. If you know me, you know I clean and organize when I am stressed by default and I hate cooking. So all I can say is that I'm stressed.
My plate is full of some of the most wonderful things and stressful things. I am watching my mother, my best friends and someone who has known me my entire life go through radiation and chemotherapy. It is hard because I am hopeless. My magic wand is broken. My best description for the radiation and chemotherapy journey is an emotional roller coaster. You think you purchased a train ticket to one place and next thing you know you are on a boat sideways. These are those days and moments, I cling to these words:
Romans 5:1-2
5
Therefore, since we have been justified
through faith,
we
[
]
have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2
through whom we have gained access
by faith into this grace in which we now stand.
And we
[
]
boast in the hope
of the glory of God.
3
Not only so, but we
[
]
also glory in our sufferings,
because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4
perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5
And hope
does not put us to shame, because God’s love
has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit,
who has been given to us.
As I must soak up my life - as we celebrate the birthday of the twins. They are 15 years old and survived my cooking so far. Although, I must give myself some credit recently for my vegetable soups. That is something I am having more fun creating and keeping it healthy. I will continue to be grateful for my gifts. Here is a short life of my gifts:
My mother and her heart of gold
My husband who always has my back and heart
My family which includes my husband's family who love me unconditionally
My twins turning fifteen and becoming incredible young ladies
My son and his true heart of a
talkative
servant of God
My sisters who make my life rich
My true girlfriends who reach out to me even when my introvert self takes over
My friendships with my clients who make my heart so proud
My life
We sure have been on an spectacular ride. May I always be focused on the right direction and place. I ask the same for you.
