A New Perspective!

Hi all! So I must say, it was good to go to church this morning. I usually go to a Saturday night service, but, well without a car, I went with the folks. They talked about all the hungry people of the world. It was really amazing! And get this, out of 1000 women pulled, 22% would offer 10 years off their lives to be at their "ideal weight." How sick and twisted. And 23% said they'd spend 10 days in jail if they could loose weight. Another 24% said they'd shave their head to loose weight. And I can't remember the rest, but that is what stood out to me! So then he asked who's worked at a charitable place such as the Fish Food Bank. Get this only 4 people in the whole church has! I was one of the 4! All Junior and Senior year, I volunteered 20 hours a week there. I thought most people have done stuff like that. Then a few years back a small group that I belonged to, we helped the boys scout collect donations for the food bank! Now if you visit the hungersite.com you will be donating to the hungry people just by checking out the site, no cost to you. Here are two other good ones to check out. Bread.org fishfoodbanks.org. Worldvision.org is another good one to check out.

So today there was that familiar feeling that stirred within me again. You know, that feeling you know what you're supposed to be doing but then ask God, why me? How's it possible? And with no money and no car, how? Well, I have a feeling God is about to show me. Because why would He place such a desire within me and then not fulfill it? He's called me for something more. So, why do I keep pushing that voice away? I wonder this all the time. I know that there is a reason I am a single mom.

On the way home today (I took Mike and Izzy to the store to get his school snack, cupcakes!) he started asking really hard questions. Such as mommy, when did daddy leave us. And why? Was he mean to you and us? Why didn't you get along? So I answered best I could. Then he went into to the whole why did Ryan leave you and Izzy thing. I asked him what was bothering him. He said cuz Ryan is not here anymore. He's kept it in all this time. So I think it's time to get him some help to sort out his feelings!

So this is my day so far! And last night Izzy and I were talking and everyone swears she said mom! It was so exciting! And just now she laughed out loud again! It's so adorable and cute! Well Better run! Time to play with the kids!

Accepting Life as it is,
