Seriously?!

"Life isn't perfect...its messy" (from Bride Wars)

I was driving home on this beautiful, sunny, Sunday afternoon, and the boys and I decided to get some Moe's nachos for dinner. All was going well until I had to stop for a red light and......sure enough the nachos and all their glory went flying all over the floorboard of the car....SERIOUSLY???

Thick white cheese sauce, chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and all those delicious toppings that were to make up our tasty dinner... are now a giant mess on my floorboard....

Life can me messy....amen! But have you ever felt like it was just you...that you were the mess? Like life would be fine if it weren't for you messing it up all the time...if you would just shut your mouth...you would never say the wrong things...if you would just not have cared as much...it would not be so painful...if you would have taken the right advice...you would be a successful person by now...if you were prettier...you would not be spending another Saturday night alone...if you would have just tied up the bag...you would be eating nachos instead of cleaning up one big mess!!

I will write often about the subject of seeking after God to find your confidence and worth in Him because that is what God has been teaching me for 15+ years....and it is a valuable life changing thing to grasp hold of!

We all have messy days and yes life is messy....BUT YOU ARE NOT THE MESS...YOU ARE THE BEST! GOD'S BEST!

"I will praise you Lord for I am fearfully and wonderfully made" Psalms 139:14

Anytime you feel like like a failure, or someone unworthy of love and attention, or a mistake, or a hot mess, or you just feel like a big dork (I often have those moments....lol) keep repeating this verse in your head, put in on a post-it note on your mirror or refrigerator....keep it forever on your lips....because you are wonderful, and God sees past all the mess and into your heart, and He calls you His child--He claims you as His!

And do you know what is just as amazing....when life does get messy...or you do mess up...God does amazing cleaning jobs. He can remove a stain better than Mr. Clean's Magic Erasers.....scarlet red to white as snow! SERIOUSLY!!!
