Day 06 – A picture of a person you’d love to trade places with for a day.
Though I often complain about my life there is no one else I would rather be. Life has taught me that no one has it all together no matter how good they look. If someone isn't in the middle of a major life lesson than they are on the cusp of one. We are always growing, learning, and changing. But if I were held at gun point and told to pick one person to trade a day with it would be myself at 15.
First things first, girl, that hair has got to go. The 80's are over, deal with it. Embrace who you are, and stop trying so hard to fit in. The best thing about you as an adult is that you don't fit into a mold.
Work harder. It's worth it. You will regret not going out for the basketball team, joining track, and staying on the fringes. No guts, no glory. Don't be afraid to try new things. Take an art class, trust me, you'll regret it if you don't.
None of the boys you thought you loved in high school will be any part of your adult life. God is going to bring you an amazing man who completes you in every way. Stop wasting your time thinking about boys and focus on your dreams and your interests.
You are going to make a lousy teacher, but a great Mary Kay consultant. You will never, ever, truly be organized, but you will always find time for people. You will learn to like mushrooms. Keep an open mind and an open heart. There are so many things you are going to learn to love that you don't even understand right now.
There are so many things I wish I could go back and say to me at 15. I need to have a talk with her.
"Here is the good news: When you flourish, you become more you. You become more that person God had in mind when he thought you up. You don't just become holier. You become you-ier." John Ortberg This is a place where I process becoming the me I want to be. This is where you can join me in becoming more me-ier.

My 10
It's been a while since I've posted my 10 so here goes.

1. Knowing that despite our differences my parents love me for who I am.
2. a husband who gets up with puking kids at 2 in the morning because I can't rouse myself.
3. God's perfect timing
4. God's provision
5. playing at the park with my kids in November
6. being able to hear the barking dog next door, at least I have my hearing
7. my bi-monthly visit from aunt flo ( I"m not sure why I'm thankful for this, but the bible says "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God.")
8. not just knowing I am loved, but feeling it.
9. being in a different place than I was a year ago
10. my band of sisters who love me as I am, but are willing to help me change when I need it
