Dear someone like me

Dear Someone Like Me,

 About a week ago I found my self near my wits end. A little behind on the chores very behind on the laundry and take out on the table for the 3rd time that week I had just had enough. Once again for what seemed like the millionth time I was not living up to my own expectations in life or my marriage. 

Don’t get me wrong, I have experienced some victory in my life. This run at success usually last about one, maybe two weeks and it all comes undone at the hand of my own bad habits. Last week I was more frustrated than ever. I began my usual rant about how disorganized my life was and my husband went right to his usual efforts to talk me off the cliff. I proceeded to confess to my husband that I was loosing confidence in my ability to experience any lasting change in my life. He stared at me for a long moment than asked me what was my daily confession was about my life.  I realized that I did not have one. At least not one based on the Word of God.

If your like me than you also memorized Proverbs 31 to prepare for life beyond the nuptials. If your like me you pictured spinning the world on your fingers like a Harlem Globetrotter. If your like me than you slipped on that banana peel called life and the world come crashing down in the form of laundry, undone dishes, and an ever growing check list. I was divding the efforts of each day so evenly between my husband, my family, my job, my church and my home. I was not leaving any room to invest in myself. But isn’t that what we women do? We put everyone first and our selves last.

I desperately want to be a blessing to my husband, my family and the other people in my life, but at the moment I’m running on empty. I know that I have so much potential but a dead tree can yield no fruit. In fact the bible tells us in Psalms 1 that if we want to produce healthy fruit in our lives through all circumstances that we must be planted in the word of God. I understand that to become what I need to be for everyone else, I have to turn my attention to everything that I God is to me.

This blog is me saying that I wont be perfect, but I also wont give up. If your reading this and your someone like me, don’t you give up either. We are who God says we are, we can do what God has called us to do. You can be all that God has called you to be, and so can I.  This is my Journey to becoming the Virtuous Woman, and your welcome to come along with me.

Love,
Some one like you
