The children watch Pinocchio last night. Sierra's choice. She loves that movie and the music. Weston loves the wishing star. He likes to look at the stars and he started wishing on the wishing star last summer.
The movie reminded him and he went to look for the wishing star. He couldn't find it.
Then he turned to me and said, "I think Jesus is the wishing star."
I said, "Why do you think that?"
Weston said, "Because He is the only one that can make our dreams come true."
Truthful thought- faith like a child.
Today I had an emotional day. I feel like I am behind all the time, I can't catch up. I can't do it all. I can't live up to my expectations, or anyone else's.
You know what is a comfort, that Jesus, the wishing star, loves me just the way I am.
"While we were yet still sinners, Christ died for us." There is power in that!
He didn't die for perfect Becca.
He died for fat, messy, unorganized, yelling at the kids, still in her jammies Becca.
That puts a smile on my face and gratefulness in my heart.

Becca, please don't be so hard on yourself. I've been there and done that. Just remember that everytime you can take a negative emotion/thought and turn into a positive one, You (and the kids and Peter)WIN! I keep wondering why I can't get my kitchen drawers and cupboard clean and why my bedroom is always in a mess. And the big question for me is why can't I get rid of old records and old clothes etc.I think getting organized is the hardest thing in the world, for me. But thanks for reminding me that God still loves me anyway and that He really wants me to Seek Him First. I love you, Mom
I am right here with you! My house is always messy, I have a habit of yelling when stressed, and every surface of my home is cluttered. It can be overwhelming! Know that you're not alone. I am so glad that Jesus loves us as messy as we are.
Wow! If you had changed the name in this blog to Laura, it would have been just as true! I am with you on that!
Me too, me too! I have the same negative thoughts lurking in my head most of the time. I have to remind myself, that God made me and God doesn't make junk! In fact we are made in His image! But we sure are feeble and weird sometimes! I think that is when Satan is messing with us, just for fun! Get lost, Devil--I am a child of the King!
Love You,
Kerri
