She.....

~tells her children every single day she loves them, sometimes more than once.
~loves anything sweet, Willy Wonka might have been a good husband but Jeff
Wenzel beat him out.
~often feels completely inadequate as a parent.
~can't believe Jesus is still here but knows He really loves her.
~wishes she was more disciplined, in ALL areas.
~can sometimes be harsh and is working on gentleness this year.
~can't believe she has a teenager.
~wishes she liked to exercise, she used to be quite the athlete.
~has never slept well; her entire life.
~loves warmth but lives in Kansas.
~is a news junkie.
~she misses being driven around and having someone else fill-up the tank.
~couldn't do life without her friends.
~wonders if she'll ever get over losing Jeff.
~cannot help being transparent; it's who she is.
~loves "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers, she has given away at least 20
copies of this book.
~talks to her sister-in-law almost daily, double trouble.
~gave her whole heart to another and it was the best 10 years of her life. No
regrets.
~absolutely loves sitting with a girlfriend having coffee, talking.
~hopes she can find Joy again.
~would love to read your She... list and know you better.

Oh Reneene, your gut-honest list made me cry.
But you forgot...
She... needs to know that she is enough, just the way she is.
You teach me that Reneene. You show me every day that your life is in His hands. That He is enough.
She... inspires.

She.....

is so very grateful she has a friend who initiated this she list because it reminds her that she can tell the truth about her life

can relate to many of the things her friend Reneene wrote on her "she list" (she loves the funny things her friend writes along with the real ones)

had a breakthrough day were understanding God's sovereignty is concerned...this is a BIG deal since mostly she has hated the "S" word

realized that sovereignty means that she doesn't have to make shame-full, self-loathing apologies for the decisions she has made that have caused her and others so much pain because SOMEHOW God weaves all of this together

is trudging through learning this stuff with the creative process being one of her best teachers

invites her friend to look at her blog where there is a picture of the art that helped bring around today's breakthrough :)
