That's how I feel right now. Just sayin'. Do you ever feel that way? Like everything is just out of reach? I'm not typing this to get all sorts of feel-good feedback, I'm just throwing it out there. What a crappy way to end a month long blogging silence, eh? Pulling out the big guns. Maybe that is the problem...we have been just so busy that I don't feel like I've had the chance to breathe. I feel like I'm a failure with money, with my house, with my husband, with my kids, with my relationship with God, with myself. A giant FAIL! And I know it's probably not true. That it's all just a big 'ol lie from the pit...but there it is. A big 'ol lie that is staring me right in the face and saying, "You there, yeah you, sorry but you're done. Why don't you just pack it all in while you still can."
So I guess this post is my way of confronting that lie. I'm identifying it and speaking to it. "Hey, big lie: Kiss off". Time to pick myself up, dust myself off, and get back on the path. Ok, moving on. Kauffman Girls Weekend starts Saturday...maybe that will be my chance to catch my breath!
I promise I'll be back soon with happy posts! Thanks for putting up with me. : )

Hey Andrea! This is Kristy from DTS Great to hear from you! I know what you mean about being lied to about being a failure. I have 4 kids and my patience can run thin TOO often! I ALWAYS feel like I am not doing good enough etc, but you are right we need to know it is a lie trust in Gods love for us and dig in to HIM! I have a hard time with that with all the kids and homeschool etc... But God is faithful and I am so glad!! Looking forward to staying in touch. kristy from www.apronsandapples.blogspot.com
Ohhhh this makes me so sad to even read, because I don't agree with the things you listed as areas in which you've "failed..." but, your transparency is a breath of fresh air, and I'm sure we can all relate to that feeling from time to time. XOXO
