So I just had this slam in the face revelation.
My family & I are road tripping to Ohio for a small
Spring break getaway. The trip is over 4 hours one way so I
decided to bring along the book I ordered from the library last week.
I've only made it to page 15 && already I'm having some of the
best, yet toughest realizations about my entire being.
The book: Dave Ramsey - EntreLeadership
Yes, usually I'll provide you all with a little link but it's not so easy while I'm on my cell phone to navigate. Then again it's not so easy to blog either but my heart felt completely overwhelmed with
the need to say { I really mean write this, but say sounds better} this out loud right now. These thoughts are going to change my everyday life!
The book is talking about being a boss & how you need the right kind of boss to drive this point home after a life experience he (Dave) had he says 'having children doesn't make you a good
parent, it means you had sex. That's all'. So wow, umm there's that!! Yes I've heard sayings similar to this but it's not about just being a parent, it's about so much more.
I thought to myself these things about me & my life, in no perfect order..
Did I just have kids.... Or am I a Mother?
Did I just get married.... Or am I a wife?
Do I only speak... Or do I also listen?
Do I only complain... Or do I also act?
Do I only forgive... Or do I also forget?
Do I just get baptized... Or do I really follow Jesus?
Do I just talk to my acquaintances... Or am I am friend?
Was I only born.... Or do I also live?
Some heavy, hard questions are now on my heart to truly figure out the answers to..
It's just a day to realize, there's no such thing as being 'FINE' how you are and people should 'love me for me'.. That would make me a self involved jerk face. There's always room to grow, there's always room to think about who were are and how we truly impact the lives of those around us.
The more we truly love each other, the more we love ourselves. Thee end 😘😘
P.S. Please don't hate me for the typos proof reading is also hard on my teeny tiny iPhone screen ;)
