Romans 7:19 (the story of my life)
Rom 7:19 For the good that I wish, I do not do....
- Read the Bible enthusiastically
- Keep my floors shiny
- Smile at my children as much as humanly possible
- Show my husband in word and deed how much I love him
- Get enough sleep
- Finish one project before starting another
- Be attentive when I should be
- Catch up on laundry
- Keep my room clean
- Stay within a budget
- Pray without ceasing
- Think on these things
- Update this page, which means more to me than I thought it did
- Keep in contact with beloved but distant friends
...but I practice the very evil that I do not wish. (NAS)
- Borrow money from future paydays
- Sit here at this darned machine too much
- Tune out voices and wander in la-la land
- Read junk
- Speak clumsily
- Move clumsily
- Heck, live clumsily
- Gossip
- Complain
- Overeat
- Oversleep
- Overspend
- Loathe myself
- Muddle along in a funk without asking God, my husband, or my friends for help and/or inspiration
So, um, yeah. That's where I've been. :)

Now you need a list of all the WONDERFUL things you do. Because I'm sure that list would be longer than either of these.

I read the comment that Mary made and that started me thinking. I think you should make the list that Mary suggested.
One thing I really admire about you is how well you do at submitting to you husband. there have been several occasions that you have told me about that you submitted and did the right thing, that would have had me complaining and griping with a bad attitude and you do so well at that!
You are a great mother! I see how you are them T & C and it is nice. You have done a good job there too.
I am very blessed to be your sister and I love you dearly! Sometimes I am amazed how much we have in common. I read your posts and think sometimes that I could have written them, just not as well! LOL!!!
Another thing I have been thinking about lately, is that maybe we can do a Bible Study togehter? I am not sure how it would work getting together, but maybe we can meet online or something. One night or afternoon a week.
Sorry to have rambled so, but I wanted you to know that the list you should make is longer than the lists you have made. Love you!!
