Day 30: Picture of someone you miss

I miss you.

Day 29: A picture that can always make you smile

This picture always makes me smile.

Day 28: A picture of something you're afraid of

  There are lots of different things that scare me or cause me anxiety.  But there is one thing that pricks my everyday mindless routines.  There is but one thing that I avoid only by the Grace and Mercy of God. 
This is not a picture of something that I'm afraid OF, but instead a picture of something that I am afraid to leave. 

I pray that I never leave the Narrow Path, that Jesus would not let me go my own way.  That I would keep my eyes on Him and not get distracted so long that my feet leave the path and I do not notice.

I pray also that you all find the Narrow Way and enter the Narrow Gate.  And if you already have, that you never wander.

Day 27: A picture of you and a family member

Me, my little sister, my youngest brother.  My oldest and my sister's oldest.

I think it would be great to get a sibling picture one day when we're all together!

Day 26: A picture of something that means a lot to you.

They mean more than a lot, they mean the most!

Day 25: A picture of your day

Ok this isn't actually from today, but it's the closest we're gonna get! :)

Day 24: Picture of something you wish you could change

I would change the way we travel.  No more long flights or long drives, just jump in your teleporter and voila! You're there!

Day 23: Picture of your favorite book

I love books! I would have a library twice the size of the one I do, if I was allowed to buy as many books as I like.

It would be impossible for me to pick just one book, well except the bible I already did that one as my treasured item.  Instead I'm going to give you a list of the books that impacted my life the most.  Now this is just off the top of my head, there may be more but here it goes.

This book shared the gospel with me, and planted the seeds that lead me to Christ.  It was given to me by my Auntie who loved Jesus and is with Him now.

This book helped me learn to walk in the freedom that is mine in Christ.

This book helped me learn to be the kind of wife I wanted to be.

This one helped me see that my husband loved me more than I knew and that he talks in blue.  A language I am learning.

This one helped reminded me that I'm the parent, and what I want teach my kids.

And last but not least, this book helped me gain wisdom in homeschooling.  Helping me to see what it is I want in my homeschool.



Day 22: Something you wish you were better at

Easy! This one didn't take much time at all!
Actually it's 2 things but they go hand in hand.

First, to be a better housewife.  I don't keep a very tidy house.

Second I don't just wish I was better at being organized, I wish I was organized period!

Day 21: A picture of something you wish you could forget.

I liked the story line of this movie.  I hated the gory violence.  I dislike all things gory.  I really don't think gore is necessary.  Some violence is tolerable.  Like beating up the bad guys.  But I can't watch gory, yucky stuff. 

So for everytime I watched yucky, gory or something in movies/tv that bothered me, I wish I could forget all those images.

As for real life, there is nothing that I want to forget.  Everything I went through, everything I experienced made me who I am today.  All things bad left room for God's healing and restoration.  All things good... "every good and perfect gift comes down from above."

Day 20: A picture of somewhere you'd like to travel

I would really, really like to see Santorini and some other places in Greece.

Day 19: A picture of when you were little

This is me (in the blue) and my little sister.

I think I'm 3yrs.

I'm the one holding the tea set.

I think I am 6yrs maybe 7.

Day 18: Your biggest insecurity

 This is a hard one.  I'm insecure in lots of areas.  They are all negative thoughts and are never based on truth. 
They all include feeling fat, ugly and not good enough or good at something I want to be good at. 
The problem with these thoughts is that they never accomplish any good.  So I MUST choose to think in better ways.  I am not "fat", but I am not healthy, so I am working to change that by making healthy choices.
I am not "ugly" but not getting proper sleep and drinking proper amounts of water makes my skin less than desirable.
I may not be perfect but I am good enough and if it's something I really want to do I will learn how!  The best thing I can do is be who God made me to be! His servant, and just be ME!

Day 17: Someone who recently made a difference in your life.

Ok you might think this is really weird, because I don't really know this person in real life.  She has made a huge difference in my life.  She is able to motivate and challenge me, even if she's only on my tv.

 Jillian Michaels.  This is the only workout I do, and one day I hope to get another one.  Right now though I'm still totally getting my butt kicked!
  

Day 16: Someone that inspires you

This is my wonderful, beautiful sister-in-love.  She grew up the little sister of the man I love.  But she is so much more than that to me.

She inspires me in so many ways.  She is brave and strong.  Full of love and life.  When she shares with me the things that God is revealing to her and what He is doing in her life I am in awe. 

She is His servant and she lives her life yielded to His.  Her love for others and her constant seeking of the Lord in what He wants her to do is a continual encouragement to me. 

I look at her and I don't feel defeated or that I'm not good enough, she never makes you feel that. 

She inspires me to seek the Lord for what He has for me this day.

I Love you my girl!

May His face shine upon you continually and many blessing on you and your sweet family.

Day 15: Something you like to do before you die

I couldn't really think of anything.  There isn't really anything I "have" to do before I die.  I don't have a "bucket list".  But since this is part of the game there is something I would like to do with my kids while we are still on this earth, Lord willing:)

I would like to drive across Canada and see all the Provinces!!

Day 14: Someone you could never imagine your life without

I would not have life had it not been for my Mom.   So I could not imagine my life without her.  I need to get some more recent pictures of her, and I still don't know if she'd let me post it:)

Day 13: Favorite Band or Artist

I have lots of favs. Here's 3.

Day 12: Something you Love

Well of course I love these guys!

And you know I'm mad for this guy!

Day 11: What I hate

LIES.  I hate deceit. 

He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.  John 8:44

This is in reference to Satan.
