Day 265: April Showers Brings..."Be"

I should have written down all the,  "I never will..." I've said in my 32 years on this earth! I've definitely learned to never start or end a sentence with "I never will do that!" Here is a funny list of things I said I would NEVER do that I have done or am doing...

• Live on a farm
• Own pigs
• be a stay at home mom
• homeschool
• leave the house with my bed unmade (rarely happens, but has)
• cook and cook well
• have a calendar that has empty space
• throw my day planner away because it has nothing for me to remember
• arrive on time instead of 10 mins. early

A close friend has a tattoo on her wrist that simply says, "Be." This friend has always comprehend life way beyond her years and has motivated me in ways no other has. The last few months the image of "Be" on her wrist comes to me often.  So often in the world we are trying to become or be someone else; that we lose sight of just being! Being the special person God made us to be! Changing, growing, and mobile. It is unfair to ourselves and our surroundings to say "I never will.' Being flexible to move when God says move is the very key to finding our purpose on this earth!  "Be" who God called you to be! "Be" you! 


..........................I said I would never get a tattoo either, but pretty sure that will remain true!
