Day 3 of August Journal Writing

Just when the caterpillar thought his life was ending, he turned into a butterfly.

                                                                                              Proverb

When I saw this journal prompt this morning I thought it would be tough to write about, but as I thought it through out the day and as I'm pondering on it as I'm writing right now, I'm thinking that this is a pretty cool thought.  I mean, how many times do we go through life at times thinking that our lives are over, we've hit rock bottom, how are we gonna get out of this one...When I was in church this last Sunday, we were talking about trials in sunday school and how the Lord doesn't give us trials to punish us but to refine us.  He's making diamonds out of us.  Next time I feel like this caterpillar, I'm going to get down on my knees and thank Heavenly Father for my trials, then kindly ask Him to help me through it. 

Good night!

Day 2 August Journal Prompt

Today we write about what were grateful for! 
I have a lot of things that I am grateful for, like material things. But what I want to express thanks for is my talents and abilities.  I went jogging this morning and it was so hard to get out of bed.  I am so glad I pushed myself and did it.  As I think of that I think how grateful I am to have two legs that work and a healthy body to run with.  I'm also grateful for my talents to sew and crochet.  I love both of those hobbies of mine. It's so much fun to be able to sit down and see what I want to crochet or sew and just do it.  With and without a pattern.

 I would a picture of me running, but I'm not the most flattering runner.  Haha!  I'm also grateful for my husband and my kids and my parents who taught me to love God and love myself.  They were the best examples for me as I grew up.  I'm also grateful for my one and only sister.  She has always been my rock!  We had and still have great times!  It wasn't too easy growing up in a family of 4 brothers.  They were annoying like brothers can be, but I am grateful for them as well.  I really did have such a happy childhood!  I am grateful to be a wife and mom!  At times it can be tough, but those tough times make the good times that much sweeter! 

I love my life!

What are you grateful for?

Thanks for coming over!
