I read another quote from Joyce Meyer today on Twitter…just had to share it…
“God is not calling you to be anyone other than yourself!”
There’s such freedom in that truth. Â There’s days I still struggle with that. Â Maybe we all do at times.
This week has been so much fun! Â Tuesday was day 4 and Wednesday was day 5 of our Spring Break. Â The days are running together. Â Zach had soccer practice and tryouts twice both days. Â He scored a goal last night scrimmaging at practice, which made him feel on top of the world! Â He has done so well. Â I am proud of him and his hard work! Â Ali worked Tuesday night. Â She had a friend spend the night afterwards. Â As girls do, they were up late talking…I could hear them until I finally fell asleep. Â Reminded me of the days when I did that with my friends!
We’ve had lots of relaxing time here at home.  I’ve slept in, and gone to bed when I wanted to.  Last night Bill and I went on our second date in less than a week.  Tried a new place…we both ate healthy salads. 🙂  It was a wonderful night out together.  And the weather!  The weather has been nothing less than extraordinary!  It has been in the 70s each day this week.  I am loving it!
Regarding Joyce Meyer’s quote for today…When I was deciding on what to wear, I broke out my white capris and a new spring shirt.  I stopped for a split-second in my white capri decision…as my memory went back to the “rule” from my high school Home Ec. class…”You mustn’t wear white before Easter.”  I decided to wear them anyway.  Silly rule!  My new shirt is a bright peacock blue color…and I thought, “OOH, my MK Bahama Blue eyeliner would really make my eyes pop with this shirt.”  But, the thought of “blue eyeliner” took me back to my “blue eyeliner” days as a middle-schooler.  How hideous I looked back then!  I wore my Bahama Blue eyeliner anyway, blended with our black eyeliner…and received many compliments, I might add! 🙂
Being “me” is what I do best. Â Why would I let a silly, outdated “rule” or the way I used to put blue eyeliner on affect my decision to wear what I wanted to today? Â Why do we try to be someone else at times? Â Maybe we try to fit in? Â God designed me to be me…and not anyone else. Â None of us need to fit in…we can be ourselves! Â It was good to be reminded of that today!
We had a great day of shopping, eating at Olive Garden, and spending time together today! Â I think Ali was born to shop! Â We were gone for seven hours!!! Â Oh, and I was able to have a two hour breakfast with my best friend, Tina this morning! Â Wonderful! Â I can always be “me” when I’m with her. Â I only wish we could do those kinds of things more often! Â It truly was a perfect day!
