#beblessedlovelies

I need my life to exemplify your life.  I want my focus to be on You and not external forces.  If I can do this, it will be the gift that keeps going on and on.  I don't want to take birthdays or life for granted.  I want to rely on God, not only in word, but in deed as well.

My desire

It was quite fun to give you my birthday list yesterday.  Today, I'd like to do something different.  If on my day, I did something for others or requested that gifts intended for me go to others.  I would love it if time or money were given to charity of my choice or others choosing.  Leslie of A Blonde Ambition's death has me thinking.  If you are so blessed to enjoy birthdays, every year, mark them with kindness.
In Christ's love,
R

birthday

My birthday is coming up and my friend Shelby voted that I share my wishlist.

1.  Amazon gift card-  I'm finding so many things I like.
2.  A pedometer-  I need to start tracking my steps again.
3.  A Paris vacation-  needs no explanation.

Happy Wednesday y'all

Sometimes we fight because it's ultimately who we are.  We aren't meant to quit.  We are molded when we are held against the flame. We find that faith is shown when our minds and bodies tire from the strain.  The emotional toil of knowing control is the illusion.  The physical toll that is on the horizon.  It's going from merely surviving life to fighting to maintain it.  It's from knowing and believing.  Roger Federer said at Wimbledon, his main hindrance was believing.  It's true.  Without belief and a faith that withers not, you are doomed to fail.  So, I'm on a mission, to believe again.  It is rough to realize that you can no longer encourage others until you can encourage yourself.  I am having to be painfully selfish.  And it hurts me so much.
God Bless.

my wants

Today, I want to believe that I am worth it.
I want to not judge myself by my waistline.
I want to fully believe that God loves me as I am, not who I want to be.
What do you want?

celebrate

I am realizing how much life has been good to me.  I have the best gift on Earth!  Being one with Christ is the best blessing.  As I soon celebrate another birthday, I am ever so grateful!  I am realizing that who I am is enough.  I realize, I am never alone.  I realize, I have no control.
My desire for this birth year is to love self more.  Take more risks.  Be fearless.  Have a joy that people don't understand, but want for themselves.
I could tell you the material things I want, and there are a few, but I won't.  I am human after all.
