What I could do...

I could fill this blog up with posts about my family.

I could only write about the weather, news, politics and religion.

I could post picture after picture after picture.

I choose to write about my feelings.

I choose to write about my downfalls.

I choose to write about struggles.

This is who I am. I have many faults that I am working on. I am no where near perfect in my faith walk. But it is my faith walk. One that is full of life changing events. I can choose to learn, grow and change for the better or I can stay stagnant and never really change my status in life.

God has laid it on my heart to be more open. I have fought hard against that nudging. I am private to a fault. He is knowing I need to do other things with my life and I can't continue to be so private. I appreciate the kind words of encouragement I received from my sweet friends about an earlier post. You are all icing on the cake (carrot cake with cream cheese frosting to be exact.)

Through this growing and learning I have found that I don't need to find my worth among my friends, family or children. My Father is who I find my worth in. I had a special friend point that out. I knew that but needed to hear it again, and again, and again. Words of wisdom for sure. I will get to the point where I don't question this. I will have victory over this issue.

I know that post was deep. I wasn't feeling good and was a little down so it came easy to be deep and vague. But after reading it a million times and thankful that I wrote it out I am learning. I am learning a lot. My bible study this week is about worth so it really is where this came from.

This is so random I know. It makes little sense to many of you, it's okay you don't have to understand them all.

I could love the world with all my heart, soul and mind.

I choose to love the LORD with all my heart, soul and mind.

**Disclaimer** I will NEVER write about anyone on my blog that is cryptic or in hopes that you-know-who will get the message. So please know that when I write it is about people in general and about my feelings in life. I in no way will make a post geared towards someone that is negative. I may call you out but it will be because you make great cookies or sew like a dream. :)

I read your blog often, but I don't often comment. You are an inspiring example of what it means to walk and wrestle with the Lord and I thank you for your honesty. I miss you, friend!
