Not you...Me

So the last couple of days every button I have seems to have been pushed. As I am saying "so and so made me so mad" or "you are not gonna believe what this person did" I have had a some time to reflect on a couple of things. It's not them it's me. I know!? Right. Well I think about some situations where the table is turned. You know when someone barks at me or bites my head off when all I asked was for their help, opinion or whatever. And that's when it struck me. We have no idea what the other person is going through, what happened that morning or even five minutes ago. We don't know what their trials are or what battles they are going through. EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING. Jobs (or lack of), health, finances, kids, family, laundry, personal battles: weight, rejection, feeling alone or not good enough the list could go on and on. And it's so sad to me. So as I was driving home today I realized we have such a short time here to be with the ones we love. Then why do we waste so much time being unhappy? So today at work (when I was dealing with whom I felt was the most difficult person ever) I held her hand and comforted her at her time of pain, it was that moment that I realized we all just want compassion not pity but to know everything is gonna be okay. So when all was said and done I apologized for my behavior and the words that I said earlier, it was then I learned she too was battling her own issues. When she looked at me, I seen a sigh of relief and I could relate exactly how she felt~even though in my opinion we had been on opposite sides of the fence~we had the same feelings.

Search me O God, and know my heart; try me; and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24

She just won't stop.....

GROWING!!!

It seems as if it were yesterday that I used to be able to hold her until she fell asleep but not anymore. I can remember dressing her in her first jean dress (overalls and pink tights) to go show Bryce on his lunch that she had her 1st tooth. Tonight we went to her first orchestra concert. It was alot of fun. I had bought her a dress and shoes last night and neither of them fit. So I had to take them back. Her foot has grown a half size in just 2 weeks. Bryce thought it was kinda funny, not me it makes my heart kinda sad. Where did this miniature person come from? Who has been feeding her the miracle grow? So Bryce decided to measure how tall she is....DRUM ROLL..4'71/2"! Me? I measured a whopping 5' even. What the heck? There's nothing I can do about so I will just embrace the fact that my baby girl is gonna be a giant haha just kidding.

I am soo excited! I finally did it~I have been wanting to do this for awhile now. So join in on the fun and we will laugh and cry together.
