I am a Princess!

My hubby has been very into a speaker named Bob Proctor lately and in one of the videos he talks about not listening to people who are not where you want to be. That has really stayed with me since I heard it. How true is that! Why would I want to listen to people tell me about my own life when they are not in a place that I want to be now or in the future? It then reminded me of the book You Are Special by Max Lucado. Punchinello was listening to people who were not where he wanted to be. They would give him gray dots and laugh at him when he was trying to do something or be better than he was. Yes, there were those who had stars but can those people really give you a true idea of who you can become? So we must ask ourselves, where do we want to go? Who do we want to become? For me the answers are I want to become an heir in my Heavenly Fathers kingdom. I want to inherit all that my father hath.

A lot of the time we say to ourselves, "I wish I was born rich so that I could do....." Guess what! You were!! You are a son or daughter of someone who has EVERYTHING! How much as parents do we want to give our children everything that they want...granted we don't but we want to. If we as earthly beings want to give our children everything we can how much greater is that desire to a Heavenly parent. If we start thinking of ourselves as a prince or princess and having that knowledge that we have a father who has everything how much would your life change? If everyday you told yourself "I am a princess!" and you believed it would you have more confidence in yourself? Would you walk taller? Go for things you wouldn't normally do because you knew your worth? I would and I am starting to!


I am a princess! I am a daughter of a loving Heavenly Father who is willing and wants to give me all that he has. Yes, I need to do the things necessary to receive those things but with him all things are possible!

Go out today and tell the world and yourself that you are his child and believe it! Your life can only get better if you do!

MOMents

So I started a book called MOMents. It is to help moms find Christ in the everyday moments of life. The first chapter is about aligning our thoughts with Christ because as Isaiah says "For my thoughts are not your thoughts". The author talks about how along those lines we need to look at ourselves how Christ would see us. Christ doesn't look at us mom's as a person who has bags under her eyes from waking up at 2:30 am and not going back to sleep. He doesn't see that my closet is mostly t-shirts and jeans. He doesn't see that my house is a mess not 5 minutes after vacuuming it. What he does see and what I feel his thoughts are when he looks at me is a mom who despite her own wants and needs puts those aside to comfort his children when they have a bad dream. He sees someone who is trying teach her kids about who Heavenly Father is and what they can become through him. He sees a woman who shows unconditional love to those around her.
My stripping away what I think of myself and what others think of me and just focusing on aligning my thoughts with those of Christ I am hoping that the spirit can be more in our home!
