To study
To read
To Exercise
To get away
To remember
To play
To Study
To help
To learn
To enjoy
To be organized
To accept
To clean
To get on my knees
To listen
To regroup
To know why I'm here
To be.
Me.
It's hard finding time some things take a back burner,
but others are strengthened.
{ever feel like this? thanks kinsey} kind of where I am right now.
Methinks
The last few weeks have been hard a few things have happened that really made me think..
about what kind of battles people are facing that we all face that nobody has any idea about. About me what I'm capable of what I am and what makes me tick what makes you tick....
The things that build and shape us and effect us if we let it...
I've learned that people will find something wrong with everything if they are looking for it..
I've learned that no matter what you do it can't change anything sometimes.........it is what is. You can't make it happen.
That no matter what you do you can't please everyone
someone will always find something wrong with us or a situation
if they want to....
that you find out who your real friends are in times when you didn't think you needed anyone.....
I've learned that if you have more than two kids and there are say four against one nothing is going to go smoothly come to expect it!!
Feeling like a bad mother cause sometimes it feels like thats what you are by the looks of your kids actions in public..... sometimes......
but I've learned that we all pretty much feel like that sometimes.... kids are embarrassing, even rude no matter what you try to teach them but they do learn and grow and
"They may not remember what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel"
we have that on our quote board this week in our kitchen and every time I read it I'm learning and trying
to be softer, kinder and more attentive to really listen
because if we don't listen to the small things that matter right now they won't care to tell us the big things later....
its all about
finding the time
and making the time
for everyone around us. Especially our families our children....
because everyone is fighting some kind of battle and
who are we
to judge.......... a bad day happens, sometimes a bad life happens
but accepting, moving on and LEARNING and finding time to dig deep to find who we really are and what we are capable of overcoming and stretching to be more that what happen to us
is where the real learning begins....
no matter how old we are...what stage we are in
we can all afford to work harder, give more, judge less, stretch beyond what we think we are capable of. To be there for someone else, to realize we all have a bad day once in awhile.
Its okay to hurt, its okay to
mourn what happened or what doesn't because its
apart of our journey, apart of what makes us and
apart of finding the time to find out who we really are.
And what we are really made of.

oh I loved this post! You are awesome, always have the perfect quotes! Love ya xx
Love you Christal! I love the thought that everyone is facing a hard battle because it's so true and it would be so nice if everyone could remember that and show a little more love. The world would sure be a happier place wouldn't it! I wish I could fly away to the sun too! :)
Hugs!!
I just love your quotes but more importantly your own thoughts and take on them. All so very true. As I read them today, I was reminded of something someone once said, but have no idea who.
"If someone doesn't like what you are doing........then you must be doing something right."
I know. That could be taken both ways. But I like to think that it's because in a world of opposites and where there must be opposition in all things......I like to think that it's just the adversary who's trying to make us feel like we are not good enough. So just remember.....if someone makes you feel like you just haven't measured up....well then.......you must be really doing something right! ; D
Hugs Christal! Have a great weekend. And take some TIME for YOU! ; D
All you have said is so true...needed to hear I'm not the only one. It is always so hard to please everyone and we just have to remember everyone has something going on (a lesson I'm still learning, but one I AM learning) Hopefully others can remember that it goes for us too.
You are such an good woman and I'm excited for your primary kids. They are lucky to have you.
Love our chats lately!! Love Ya!!
Thanks for such a great post. I loved it.
"in the quiet heart is hidden, sorrow that the eye can't see." My favorite line from the hymn. It goes through my mind often. It helps me remember that we are all fighting battles.
Thanks for the thoughts!
Love ya!
You always have great advice and thoughts. I agree...you definitely are doing something right :) I'm gonna make a mini goal to do something tomorrow that I haven't done in a long time...not sure what it's going to be, but you've inspired me to do something. :)
I am so impressed with your wisdom- I wish I had been half that smart at your age- I am still trying to figure things out. So happy that you and Whitney get to work together. She will learn so much from you!! Also, I am jealous of your blogging skills. I started a blog and am still trying to figure it out!
