Get Your Big Girl Panties On And Deal With It!

Darling... 

We need to have a discussion - one of those "tough love" momma talks.

You have outgrown the age of blaming and making excuses for

who you are - where you are - what you've got - and how you are coping.

When are you going to change?

You get to choose! 

I am here to motivate you, precious!

It's time to get your big girl panties on -

and take ownership of your happy, your healthy, and your holy.

It's not someone else's job.

You have made choices - and continue making choices - that determine how your life is going.

No one is coming to save you.

He already came - Jesus lived and died to give you freedom of choice.

It's time to stop the excuses and end the blame game;

Find a mirror - and look yourself in the face.

Say, "You've got this girl... one choice at a time!"

You can choose to be happy!

Smile. Love. Choose to forgive.

You can choose to be healthy.

Move. Hydrate. Choose to eat good food.

You can choose to be holy.

Pray. Read your Bible. Choose to speak life.

You can do this!

You are stronger on your worst day -

when you are making the right choices,

than you are on your best day -

when you choose to make excuses and blame someone else for your failures.

Ultimately, you can't control anyone in this world, but you can control your decisions.

Life happens. Bad things happen. Good things happen.

YOU choose your response. YOU choose your attitude.

YOU choose.

CHOOSE LIFE!


"See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil."

Deuteronomy 30:15

"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?"

Romans 8:31

The Red Convertible

Today, my precious husband, gave me a surprise College Graduation gift. A red, mustang convertible. Now, I know every girl in town is envious of me... I'm so blessed, excited and SHOCKED! Jeff Chavis is a very frugal guy, and for him to purchase this car for ME... well - I know it held a private message.  If you have heard my "red convertible" story - you know that for quite a while now - seeing a red convertible has been my "sign" from Jesus - reminding me to Let Him Drive! The story is so personal - I have only shared it a couple places upon God's leading. So here's my "Red Convertible" story... I was at our Ladies Prayer Retreat in October 2007. My sister Debbie led one of our devotions using an illustration from a Max Lucado book about "Tucker Town" - A town where all the residents pushed their vehicles around all day - with engines running... they just liked DOING THINGS for themselves! Of course, they were tired, wor...

Stress

I recieved this article in an email recently. I've seen it before, but today I related on a whole new level. If you are reading this and you're dealing with the balancing act of life... I'm sure you'll enjoy this. Unfortunately, I don't have an author to credit this to - but I think whoever the author was - he/she speaks to us all. Stress - A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked "How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranging from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress m...

Fifty... Five Decades... Half a Century...

The morning dawned with feelings of trepidation. I knew something was afoot. I had been banned from the church property for three days... my husband had brought someone in to help me clean the house and prepare beds... and for WHO? No one would tell me a thing. At around 8 AM my phone rang and my daughter-in-law, Amanda, told me to be ready at 10:30 - her and Randi - the other DIL - were going to pick me up for lunch. ...AND to pack a bag with hair fixing necessities and a formal ( preferably black) outfit. Hmmm ... sounded like fun to me - so I was obedient to the letter. They arrived right on time and we headed to "lunch" which turned out to be one of my favorites... Olive Garden! We were taken to a private room where my sister Debbie and her DIL , Shannon... and two of my nieces (Taryn and Tanis who had driven 5 hours to be there) were already seated and waiting. We ordered and were sitting there visiting and catching up on all our lives - when I saw my husband in the d...
