How I have changed

I just wanted to remember this title for a future post. Love you!

-I have to eat dinner right when I get home from work. I can't get home and not know what we are going to eat, etc.-it has to be ready to heat up from the fridge. This usually involves me having to make something in the evening for the next day.

-I don't care what people think of me as much. If someone has a problem with me/doesn't like me, I don't care (like Dad and Grandma Elsie)

-I don't fret over my appearance anymore. I used to be obsessed with how my hair looks, face, etc. I am trying to detach myself from this and realize that my value is not based on how I look.

-I work out almost three times a week (who would have thought?)

-I can't let our financial problems paralyze me anymore. I do what I can but I don't have the energy to fret over how this bill will be paid or that. The good news is that it ends up working out somehow.

-I don't care as much about other people's health problems or if they die. That's kind of a sad one, but everyone has to die at some point. I feel bad when people have to suffer but don't worry about if they die as much.

-I am serious about sharing the Gospel when I share your story. The two HAVE to go hand-in-hand in my book. I have gotten better at that which I am thankful for. Your story has to continue to count for eternity.

-I've established and re-established friendships

-I've realized that I have been selfish and only worry about my feelings and my situation. Everything is about God, not about me. It is my privilege and honor to serve Him daily.

-I am not scared of heaven or the concept of eternity anymore

-I am not as afraid to die

-I am realizing that there are things worse in this life than death

-I know that I did a good job of raising you-it might have been my finest accomplishment. I will find out in eternity.

-I am not as nervous about talking/speaking like I used to be. I don't stumble over my words like I used to or skip saying certain phrases or combinations of words.

-I am not as concerned as what others think of me

Thank you for all of this-to you and to God. Love you so much!
