He Loves Me...

I love my Jesus. He is so good to me. I love my hubbie too. After writing the post Friday on insecurities this is what my hubbie brought home. A bouquet of Daisies. My hubbie has never bought me Daisies before. I asked him if he had read my blog and he said no. As he was getting some sushi from Whole Foods he saw these and thought of me. How sweet is that? It amazes me how sweet my Heavenly Father is to even send me the very flower I had defined my insecurities with. So the question has been answered and yes...He does love me!

She likes me/She likes me not!

I just read this blog post from Lysa at Proverbs 31 Ministries. How many of you out there struggle with this? I am so amazed at how many women responded to her post and still feel like the 13 year old girl picking the leaves off the daisy wondering if they are liked or not. I thought it was just an insecurity issue I was alone in feeling. How is it we still feel like we are in middle school when surrounded by other women? When I walk into a room full of women, whether I know them or not, I convert back into that 13 year old girl. Even as recently as last night when I went out with some friends I kept going over all my conversations and hoping I didn't say anything that made me sound dorky. I hate keeping the cool/dork point tally sheet. I am trying to learn I have value as a daughter of the King. It frustrates me to no end how easily I become insecure and self conscious. Hopefully one day I will be able to look at the daisy without playing the "she likes me/she likes me not" game.

Do you want some Gatorade?

I've got some fluid in me now let's go!

Maddie had a stomach bug and got dehydrated and had to go to Children's Hospital for some fluid by IV. She was such a sick little girl and not herself at all. After 6 hours of getting fluid she started acting so much better. My sweet friend Michelle brought me some dinner and sat with me for several hours. She made both me and Maddie feel much better by being there. I value her friendship so much. Maddie was released later that night and was feeling much better the next day.

Cap and Gown!
