Seeing the real me...

It's Saturday morning and I am starting to rise out of my slumber...(I've been out of bed for 2 and 1/2 hours now). I was opening the blinds...but not the curtains...and a thought came to me. I want to be able to see out but I don't want people to be able to see in. Now, those of you who know the real me know why this is. Then I thought to myself, how can this apply to my spiritual life? Sometimes this can't be the case in my spiritual life. In order for us to be used by God and receive His many blessings...we have to let the real us be seen...and that's why it is so important to be real...not two-faced...not a fake...not a hypocrite...but real...who God made us to be and wants us to be. Now...I don't like letting people see the real me...I wouldn't say that I am any of the above (some may disagree but oh well) but I don't want people seeing my weaknesses. That's another part of it too. It's okay to let your weaknesses be seen...now I'm not saying run and tell the whole world all your problems...but we can't walk around like we are perfect and we live perfect lives. We are humans and we make mistakes and we deal with problems and we enjoy the good things in life...BUT He is real and He wants to be the center of our lives.

Just had this thought and wanted to share...If you don't agree or don't like it...oh well...This is me and who I am...and I love my Savior!

Out for a while...

At the Western Days Parade...making his cousins feel sorry for him because he "didn't have any candy"...yeah right!
With Grandpa at the Civil War Re-Inactment.

Parade again.

My blue-eyed girl.

So yes, I have been away for a while...I get busy and blogging is the last thing on my mind. Quick overview...Classes are much better than last year so the day goes faster. Cross Country not doing bad...district meet on Monday. Cheerleaders will be good if I can keep them all healthy. Basketball started Wednesday so it is late nights for us and my kiddos are already gym-rats! Kiddos are doing well. A is 9 months and above average on everything. P is 2 going on 15 most days. I love them more and more everyday. Hubby and I are trying to keep our sanity with school, bball, kids, etc...but we get to do it together! Here are a few pics of the fall. More to come.
