I have more than enough!


Okay, I have been busy and lets just say a tad bit overwhelmed which essentially causes me not to blog or photograph, or write....or do much of anything except sulk. So, this morning I have the ultimate "woe is me moment" and actually cry so hard I think I might puke (sometimes a girl just needs a good cry right)...well, wrong...I continued to walk around the house cranky and ineffective. So, I made myself some comfort food (homemade mac and cheese-full of fat and calories...yum) and sat down to read kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com for a reality check. AND, that is exactly what I got. This young girl is such an amazing, mature, God loving and fearing woman and she just takes my breath away...literally, because I cry when I read her blog.


I am always amazed that when I am needing some insight, God always has the ability to get me the information I need exactly when I need it. And it took the Sunday entry on this blog to snap me right out of my self centered mode. I wish I could articulate and provide insight and scriptures that would describe to you what she was teaching, but I just can't. I just know that I really needed to hear her message on appreciating what you have because it is probably more than enough. If you want to read about this spectacular woman and all that she accomplishes on a daily basis through God you will just have to go her blog and read it. No matter how busy you are, or what other tasks you can distract yourself with, or how intimidating her long prose is IT IS WORTH IT....trust me.....read her blog.
Just to make it super easy here is the direct link (you can also get to her blog through the Amazima site I have marked on my sidebar):

Have a great day everybody and remember....chances are if you are reading this blog you probably have MORE than enough.

  1. Wow, what an inspiring girl.
    Of course I mostly read her stuff and think of what a jerk I am...not sure why I tend to go the negative route! Made me feel awful how she kept saying she was having worldly moments just wanting chocolate!

  3. Wow...what an amazing woman. I couldn't stop reading, and Bayley was late to football because of it. :)

    I've done a lot of reflecting on this very subject lately with the economy. Really trying to focus on NEEDS rather than wants. When she says they will only use 3 hours of electricity to save money, so they can give more. WOW.

    Thanks for the inspiring blog. I will read it when I am feeling sorry for myself.

The four letter word of mommyhood "SELF" care

Don't even think about saying you are going to take some time for your self as a mom because someone or something WILL sabotage it...trust me, this is truth. You would think I would be the queen of self care....don't get me wrong in my house I am the queen of a lot of things, but self care ain't one of them. Growing up my dad loved reading self help books and sharing his insight with me all the while I moaned, "Dad stop, seriously, this is sooo boring...." and "seriously Dad, I'm trying to watch Days of Our Lives I don't care what Gandhi says" and "Dad, I do not want to meditate to bells and chimes" and last but not least "Dad!! I do not want to drink that weird stinky mushroom broth that's been sitting on the windowsill for weeks because it will make me healthy". One of my favorite BAD memories is when he made me do some fasting crap only drinking saline solution and then we ran out of toilet paper after the "heal...

Issues

Ok, I've got issues...oh, you already knew that?!?! Is that because everything I feel comes out of my mouth...see just one of my "issues"..... I would rather sit and read other people's blogs for hours rather than clean my house I would rather eat chocolate frosting than chicken and veggies for dinner I would rather sit on the couch and read than feed my family I would rather play Fantasy Football than sew or crochet I would rather relax by the pool with a People Magazine than study history or something else intelligent I would rather take pictures of people or things all day than get a real job I would rather sit on the beach all day with this view than run errands I want to be a good wife and mother with a spotless house and place beautiful healthy meals on the table and never raise my voice...BUT....this is just not reality for me!!! God bless my poor family......

Why?

It is easy to look to God and ask, "Why is there so much poverty in the world? Why is there so much hurt, so much inequality and unfairness, so much destitution?" I bet He would ask us the same thing. -Katie-kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com
