Put it all on blast

I think God knows who we are. The good, the bad. The whole nine. And I think that we like to pretend he doesn't. We don't SAY it of course. But our actions do. Some of us grew up being told not to ask God why, or what, or when, or how. But we have those questions. It's like we're trained to believe that God will smite us for being real. He knows us. Why not just tell Him how we're feeling. Why are we so afraid to ask Him why or when? The disciples did  when Jesus went to the cross to die for our sins. And the WHOLE book of Habakkuk is The minor prophet Habakkuk asking God WHEN he's going to stop allowing his city to rebuke Christ in their actions etc. We experience pain, we hit faith walls. We're all tempted. But try somethin Caaaarazy for me. The questions, the hurt, the fears that you have, bring them to God. Ask him why. Ask Him for wisdom and understanding. And then shut up and wait. He may not answer right in the second that you think He should, but He will give you what you can wrap your brain around.  

Let's kick the weekends butt and enjoy every minute of it. 

Things I Suck At

I got to thinking about how God sees me, what HE thinks about me VS what I think about me. There are about 67 pieces of scripture in the bible that talk about God's love for us, and what we can do through Him. I sat back though, and thought about all of the things I SUCK at that I KNOW without a shadow of a doubt, that if I'm successful at any one of them its because of God. 1.) I can't draw for beans. somehow I manage to screw up a stick figure. How?! i have no idea.... It's a soft spot, so I don't want to discuss it further. 2.) I know this sounds terrible, but I could NOT raise another baby. People ask for for parenting advice sometimes (i say just beat them...ok I'm lying) and there are times I volunteer what I did with my boy without anyone asking. But could I actually NATURALLY deal with the terrible twos, threes, and so on? probably not. Not without being heavily medicated. 3.) I suck at Candy crush. This has nothing to do with anything except me sucking. 4.) I suck at keeping things short and sweet, and to the point. I'm pretty sure it's a female thing, and I'm even more sure God is a man, so it makes sense that when I pray for Him to only allow me to say what he wants me to say, It's usually pretty direct, and short. 5.) I suck at being "organized"... or what the world sees as being organized. I know where everything is, even when its everywhere. 6.) I don't know how to whistle. don't laugh at me... i have tried for 28 years to whistle (yes I came out of the womb attempting this) Through all of the things I suck at, God uses them all. Minus the candy crush thing... 'less He uses it to build my patience. We all have weaknesses, we all have gifts. But the pretty flippin sweet thing is that God uses our weaknesses, and our suckiness to bring Glory to Him. What are things you suck at, that when God works through them, its obvious that it's ALL Him?

I seriously thought my head was going to explode from all of the brain constipation I had going on.... People would have to step over the creative juices that were all over the ground, once it happened. So instead of that, I decided to start a blog.
I was amazed at the amount of do's and don'ts I found floating around on the Internet. At one point I think the thought of writing a blog about not knowing how in the hell to write a blog, crossed my mind.
I see things differently than most. And if you can stand the journey long enough, I'm pretty sure you'll see why. I'm weird- take that how you will- I'm a mom, a wife, a friend, an employee.... I can go on and on with a laundry list of sexy hats I wear.
I'm not sure if a blog introduction is important, or a "no no" in the world of blogging.... But if I cared, I would have just went straight into making fun of short guys in big ol trucks ;)
