she is finally learning that her makeup doesn’t have to be flawless. her home doesn’t have to be spotless.
her home is full of love. and that is what matters.
she’s still learning that she may never be a good cook. but that’s okay.
she’s starting to realize that there is no way on God’s green earth that she can always please everyone. and that’s not a reflection on her, or her worth as a woman or mother.
she now knows that she doesn’t have to finish every single book she starts. if she doesn’t like it she can move on. it’s okay.
she’s fully comfortable with the fact that she’s not hip to what’s “in” or “cool” half of the time. and that that doesn’t mean a dang thing.
she sees that she has no idea where she’ll be a year from today, never mind five years. and this is okay with her. sometimes it takes her a bit to come to terms with change but she embraces it after a bit and sees the positive.
she wishes that there was no such thing as judgemental people.
she loves the Lord with all of her heart.
she is starting to love the things about herself that are imperfect.
she needs to create in order to feel like herself.
she doesn’t feel like she needs to hide the fact that she’s a scrapbooker. so what if people don’t get it in real life. so what if people misguidedly think that it’s dorky.
so what.
she is fully confident that although most days she feels like she’s making up this mama thing as she goes along
although sometimes she’s not patient or kind like she should be
she is sure that the beautiful children she has are proof that she is, indeed, doing something right.
she is who she is. and at 32.5 she is finally seeing that.
