There are times...

* I wish I didn't care so deeply for the people God has placed in my path
* I could look at my silly mistakes and laugh
*I wished I didn't like the taste of chocolate
* that varicose veins were pretty
* homemade always meant healthy
* I wish others could have a healthy relationship like mine...sometimes I even feel sorry for them.
* I could style my hair like my stylist after a fresh cut
* I could keep on top of housework, laundry without nagging or feeling frustrated.
* I'd love to move and see how I'd do in new surroundings
* I am grateful for my married in family's drive to 'get things done' and how that's rubbing off on me
* I hurt so deeply for a loved one that I break down into tears and pray that God can turn it into His glory...in His timing.
* I wonder if I'll feel any different being 'normal range' opposed to 2 pounds overweight
* I think about what I'll be when I grow up
* I feel that I've been patient enough...and now I'm ready for our referral...TODAY!!!
* I wonder when I've washed the floor last (thankfully, today was the day)
* I am so thankful for my hubby, his 8 years of schooling while working full-time & the kiddos were babies (aka crazy stressful times)...when he said "i do" he really meant it!
* for friends that God has put in my life, some for short times to teach me and grow me into certain situations and others for longer stints, that keep me accountable and feel like a cheerleader...both such a blessing!
* I wished that I home schooled ...okay, maybe not to teach them but to remove tension after my kid fell between huge cracks last year. On a happy note, what do you get a teacher that has spent one hour each day one on one and has him caught up with his class?! We are beyond words!
* I wish that I could do-over several times of my life...but instead I'll chalk it up to growth and character building
* I wish I could hold/meet my nephew...one more month, one more month!!!
* I wish the grass would cut itself!

Yes, so many things we wish for. I love your Corrie ten Boom quote at the side. It's a good reminder for me. Blessings to you sweetheart as God continues to work through you, bringing blessings to those around you!
