My girls and I try to live by our family vision, “Blessed is this masterpiece that is a constant work in progress.” It is so true. I am blessed. I am blessed with an amazing, loving, slightly crazy family. I am blessed with three strong, stubborn, adorable children that fill my soul up until it runs over. I am blessed with friends that love me in spite of my faults. I am blessed to have a God that gives me unconditional love and strength to weather the changes to my canvas, so that I may appreciate the beauty of all He has given to me. I am blessed. Simply, unconditionally, amazingly blessed.
I have suffered and I have thrived. I have hit rock bottom and I have ridden cloud nine. I have made mistakes and I have corrected wrongs in my life. Every step, every fall, every smile and every tear has led me right to where I am this very minute. Absolutely, purely happy.
God has put me right where my heart is, in this place, with my windshield sunsets and horses, wheat fields and cattle. A place where I can raise my kids, where we can develop roots, so that my girls may grow and blossom and thrive. A place that we can finally call home.
The struggles of the past four years have led me closer to God, and closer to home. I know now that He holds the future, regardless of what way I try to steer it. He is the artist. I am simply the brush, and he has gifted me the canvas.
I am so blessed and humbled to be a child of a God that loves me that much. I couldn’t ask for anything more.
So, today take a step back and look at your own masterpiece. You will find it breathtaking.
Feed Yourself, Girl!, it is the most amazing feeling in the world.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.”
