Challenge!

As some of you know I talk to Lottie most every day of the week. And today she gave me a gift that I feel I'm going to love for the rst of my life! It's call 30 day Challenge. There are a few to pick from and do. We have pick one off together and will work on it together. I'm looking forward to doing this with her. I just wanted to pass on the web page. http://www.reviveourhearts.com/challenge/ I hope you all take a look at it.

A challenge in our house right now is asking others if they need help, and getting our 3 year to do it to. It's funny when she ask.."Mom, do you need me to help you?" And when I say yes, she says to me "man I was just asking to be nice, now I have to do it!!" She makes me laught all day!

The other challenge is knowing when to ask for help! And we are all working on both of them. It's going well! I think!

Life is a challenge and trying to let the girls know that and not make them dislike life at the same time is becoming a challenge. Getting them to see that it's be like this from day one and we need to ask God for help! And most of the time we do not till it's almost to late!

We know that God loves us, and he shows us all the time. We challenge you all to show others God love by asking them what you can do to help them today! But at the same time know when you need to ask for help from God, or someone else.

God loves us, and wants us to love each other. And in today world that's not showen like it should be.

for who a person is not what a person is!!

Sorry it's been so long! I have been with family and working on something within my family. And over the past two weeks or so the girls and I went up north to Evart to stay with my Grandma and helped her out with something. Due to the fact that she had surgary on her hand and is now in a cast. So I was able to take this and show the girls that we need to serve others and show all love. We got to spend sometime with my grandma too. It's always great time.

Now here comes the big things that I wanted to talk about, showing others love!! How many people say that they show love to others but at the sametime will stand there and say well I can not talk to that person due to the fact he or she is black, has a beer here and there. Or maybe it's something a little bigger like being gay, or something even bigger, like a handiecap?! Are you showing these peope love? I have seen it, and I think how can people do that just because of "what this person is" not who the person is. I'm trying very hard to teah my girls that it's okay to make up their own mind and I want them to. But I also want them to like/dislike a person for "who they are" not "what they are" And you may look at that and ask what am I saying. This is what I'm saying, it's find if my girls want to be friends with the girl next door because they like her and she nice, but it's not okay if they are friends with her because she rich and she gives them things. But it goes the other way too, to be a nice girl but have a learening disorder and have kids and other people be mean to you. I have seen this happend, and it's been done to people that I love and seen me. It's hard to be on the down side of that. And it hurts me to say this.

So here it goes. I have has a learening Disorder for years and I still do and will to the day that I die. But have found, ways around it and work every hard each and everyday. And the summer after I was done with high school I was working out at a church camp in the same town that I grow-up in. And I was doing great out there I was running a kitchen and I had made a list of things that needed to be done and posted it for all to see it. I had a adult start laughting, and was pointing at the list, and calling the other works over and showing them the list and more and more of them starting laughting. And when I walk over there, and ask what they were all laughting at, they ask me to read what I had on the list. So I did and they laught harder and harder. And me asking them over and over what was up and no one would let me. Till later a man came in his name is Mike, and they were all still laughting and he ask what was up and they showed him, and he did something that I will never for get. He took down the list and rewrote it for me with no misspelled words. I love the work I did in the kitchen but the day I left work before my end time witch I did not do, I stayed late most nights. But that night I went home crying becasue of people laughting, because of what I am. And if they would have know me for who I am they would not be laughting at me.

I have seen people be so nice to people that they have never seen before, and may never see again. But they know my mom and know that she is gay and can not say two words to her because of that. Not because of who she is but because of what she is.

It's hard and everyone does it, and I'm working every hard to show my girls that we never to show love and get to know people before making up our minds.
