It's the little things

Most ladies I talk with have the same pattern...they put themselves last!  I do believe women in general (married or not - kids or no kids) typically but themselves last.  I believe in my heart this is how God created us.  For me this can bring out many emotions for me daily - happiness, overwhelmingness (I do not think this is a real word but it does fit me), gladness, exhaustion, joy, peace.  I personally enjoy the overall picture when I place others first.  Honestly I just painted my bedroom after living in our house for 10 years! 

BUT listen you beautiful ladies - we must take time for us.  This keeps us balanced!  If we just keep going and going we will crash!  I know it can be hard to take time for you but it is a must or God will make us take time!

This month I challenge you to get back into something you put aside because others comes first.  I am not saying to put your loved ones last and focus on you, I am simply encouraging you to make time for you.  God cares about you and honors you for your amazing heart but He also wants you to enjoy what He has created you to enjoy! 

Here is what I am getting back into!  I use to love to garden and guess what - my garden is slowly getting put back together.  For me, I simply love to go out and watch something new come to life!   

God has given us an amazing heart to truly care and encourage those he has placed in our lives but He desires us to also enjoy the gifts he has blessed us with!!
