OK, so this is my first ever blog. Hope I do not bore everyone!
So today I am 32 married with three kids and I often wonder...where am I going next? You see, I know God has a plan for me and my little family but sometimes I can be impatient and I just want to know NOW what I am here to do.
Tonight we had just Elyse and we decided to take her out to dinner for some alone time. As we were sitting there we talked about school and the rain and then I asked her, "Elyse, what to you want to be when you grow up?"...she sighed and said "A Pickle? Oh no actually just Elyse Mommy, Just Elyse, that is me"...Oh my...how honest is that!
I find that even in my quiet time with God he brings me back to simplicity of just being Kristi instead of this woman I have painted in my head. Sometimes I try so hard to do everything on my weekly To Do list in one day, only to find that I just need to focus on today. I am constantly over committing and instead of letting people down, I just let myself down.
Well today I am changing all of that! Today, July 8th, 2008 at 9:08 pm EST I am going to begin to focus a little more time on myself. You see, I have let myself down for the last 4 years and I have suffered both in health, spirit and mind. Being a single Mom during the week and in school and then work, these are all things I am capable of doing, but I need to put me first. Spiritually I am seeking a deeper connection with my first love, Jesus. Health wise, I need to kick this diabetes thing so I can be free of the drugs that I hate taking. Mindfully, I need a trip to the Kohl er Spa, but I know that is not happening, so I am going to settle for a bubble bath every few days to clear my head and a trip to the gym to help me sleep.
So that is a start! TTYL
