- I wake up more mornings feeling weary in not-well-doing than I do feeling well-doing in most anything.
- My bed is just about the only thing in my house that gets cleaned up on a daily basis.
- I have enormous shopper's remorse and guilt, nearly every day, over nearly every purchase.
- I take everything too seriously.
- I hate money, don't ever want to think about money, and wish I didn't have to constantly talk about money.
- My most frequent prayer is, "Help me, Jesus."
- I sometimes have very little patience for my sweet kiddos.
- It's been 10 years since I've been paid for anything I've written.
- I do most of my design work in MS Word.
- There are five piles (and growing) of laundry in my little apartment waiting for the time - and the quarters - to be washed.
- I don't believe motherhood to be my highest calling.
- I passively aggresively pray for other people's attitude changes or improvements, but in all fairness, I also pray the same for myself on an hourly basis.
- I always aim for perfection, but am nearly perfect at mediocrity.
- I don't have the Jesus-following, unconditional loving, and grace-giving thing all figured out yet.
Just wanted to put some of these things down in writing because I think what moms are really good at is making it look like we've got it all together all the time. Usually, the writing that comes from the breath of my life is made up of months and years of tears and heartache and scribbling and questioning and searching and praying.It's only after I've figured out a thing or two that I'm able and willing to share it with you. :)
So, thank you for joing me here. And put it in writing: What's your confession?
