Who I want to be and who I really am...

Who do I want to be?

This mom...

And this mom...

And this mom...

And this mom...

And pretty much this mom...

The reality is that this is who I am...

And this is who I am...

But as long as THIS is still me...

And as long as I still go daily to this...

And this...

And place myself here at every hour...

And operate out of the reality that Mary's intercession can do this...

Then I can do this...

In other words... I will have the capacity to do what I cannot on my own.


Man I sure hope I can practice what I preach. I am at a place where our house isn't selling, so we can't really make a move on a new one in a new town 3 hours away. I am staring July 1st in the face like it's ready to punch me in the face because David will have to go to start his new job regardless of where we are with the housing situation. And I am a task master to my children with constant house cleaning for the house to be show ready. I have told David that he didn't marry a power house woman who can handle this well (as if I needed to tell him that for him to see that was the case). I have decided to offer what I have to God... my weakness, my brokenness, my hot mess-ness. According to St Therese, offering that to Jesus turns his heart with such love and pity for us that He scoops down to reach us because He knows that we cannot climb that difficult way on our own. Guess it's time to see my weakness as a ticket to the fast track!! Anybody else want to hop on?
