Good morning world! Baking day today along with getting the sides ready so tomorrow will be relative stress free. That's the plan anyway. The home blessing is almost done. My main plan for today and tomorrow is to "just breathe".
I have been reading a lot lately, and was even challenged a couple of months ago, about thinking and learning more about who I am not what I am. Meaning I am a wife, mother, homeschooling mom, friend, sister, daughter, artist, and so much more.
What about who I am? I am a child of God, daughter of the most High, redeemed by His blood! I am barely chipping away at the tip of the iceberg as to what this truly means. I had lost my way for a period of time. I do not mean I had strayed away from God. I mean, I had forgotten who had created me and just how much He loves me.
My self esteem had dropped terribly. I had stopped painting in my studio. My home was passable, but not kept to the standards I usually set for myself. I gained the weight I had lost and kept off for over a year. My relationship with my husband and boys have suffered.
The why is not really important at this time. Remembering I am HIS and just how much HE loves me is. It is the beginning of the road less traveled that will take me back to me.
I am loved! I am beautiful! I am blessed! I am grateful! I am joyful! I am peaceful! I am lovable! I am hospitable! I am.
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. Romans 5:5
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
