Sweetest Cupcakes

My two older girls were cupcakes in a mini nutcracker recital. They had an awesome time!

I think my little one ends up eating more paint than she puts on the paper (or pumpkins). I hope the non-toxic label is truthful!!

How long?

Today I am feeling like an exceptionally slow learner. I continue day after day to live in the memory of my "old self." The person addicted to serving self and the person desperate for approval and acceptance from others. The person that can lash out in cruel ways toward people I feel hurt by. The control freak.

The Truth about me is that I am none of those things. I have been redeemed, made new, and my old self is dead. I am not selfish, but in Christ I am loving, I do not need approval or acceptance from others, because His love and acceptance are enough for my evey need. I am not cruel, I am full of love and kindness. I am not a control freak, I have surrendered control to the Perfect Creator. Each day I live a lie. I live in the memory of who I used to be instead of living out my true identity in the moment.

I ask you Lord to make the Truth of who I really am the reality for me today.
