It's the Little Things


I would venture to say that so many times in our lives we let stress and worry consume us.  The big picture becomes clouded and all we see is the ugly and we forget to notice all the little blessings around us.

This 4th of July week I have thought a lot about the freedoms I have and it has brought me back to some of the sunshine in my life.

There is so much freedom in the little things..
  • On a bad day at work, I can go get Swirll Frozen Yogurt and read my Bible during my lunch break.  
  • Church
  • Gchat 
  • We have had two straight weeks of being able to wear jeans to work.
  • 19 Kids and Counting
  • Cable
  • Working out
  • Being close to my cousins
  • Coupons
  • I can spend my days off wandering the aisles of Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
  • Reading
  • Text messages
  • Lunch Crew
  • Good deals
  • HR departments
  • Bridesmaid dresses
And that's just a glimpse of the sunshine I've enjoyed through the clouds this week.

Honestly

I'm a pretty honest person. When I was in elementary school, the teachers at my private school picked a character trait that they thought described each child in their class each year. It was a trait they saw in the child, and they gave our parents a certificate with our name and our chosen character trait. I have four character trait certificates. Three years I received "Honesty." The fourth year I mixed it up a little: "Truthfulness." That being said, I need to be honest for a minute. I think I have a problem with honesty. I know! I was surprised, too, when I realized it. But it's not what you think. So before you start trying to figure out what lies I may have told you, let me explain. You know how you can look back and realize something that happened to you would teach you a lesson one day? There are several moments in my life that helped come to the realization that my elementary school certificates might be invalid... Texas, Fall 2008...

All I Really Want is to be Found

I have done all the right things for all the wrong reasons I have been here before, it seems like time and time again I keep trying to find life in the places life's not found I'm recessitating old flames without thoughts of getting burned It is possible that I Could ever get it right There is nowhere else to go There is no one else to run to All around is quickly fading All I know is You've always been there Always been there, you've always been there Always been there I have seen all the endings to all my sad stories And they leave me alone, everytime its just the same You have fully accepted me with my failures Through the cross of my King, it's your mercy and your grace Is it possible that I Could finally get it right Yesterday has come and gone Everything I thought I had was wrong All I really want is to be found This is what I know, I have nowhere else to go - I have no one else to run to All around is quickly fading - All I have is...
