I don't know about you, but sometimes I wish my blog entries were more thought provoking. Not always on a spiritual level. There are a lot of bloggers who do that well. More of a "Hmmm, that is really interesting" type blog. I have blog envy right now. I'll get over it. I'll accept the fact that the only thing I know how to write about is my everyday life. Not too witty, kind of boring, but it's me.
When I started this blog I really intended to use it for my own personal place of reflection. To throw out all my sin and digest it and work on homeschooling and parenting. It has really turned into a daily journal, although I am not renaming it now. There are things I would never post here knowing that others are reading it. I guess that "stuff" is best reserved for a prayer journal. However, there really isn't a facade with me. What you see is pretty much what you get. I'm not very tactful, mercy is not my strong point, and I can come across rudely. I am also very loyal, determined, and deep down...loving. This makes people either like me, or not like me. There usually is no middle ground. I have fought and fought myself over this issue. I want to be "all things to all people" so Christ is seen in me, but I am realizing that Misty can only change herself so much. He can and does use me just the way I am. If I am an empty vessel, I am still the vessel He created me to be. I can't change the gifts He has given me, but I can change the way I use them. I can't change the fact that I'm an extrovert, but I can change the way I come across. I need to change the things I can and get over the things I cannot. I am Misty. A child of God. A sister in Christ whether you like me or not. And if you don't like me, why are you reading my blog?
OK, it is officially dawn. The sun is up, the school bus has screeched down the street, and the girls are starting to move in their beds. I need to get my day started. No running around today which always makes me happy. Camille will have to "do" school and I have many chores to accomplish.
Blessings to you!

Misty! Please! You have a great blog! You are a great MOM! It's also nice to know someone who is honest and just plain straight forward. Have a great day!((((HUGS)))
I think your blog is wonderful, as well. I am only sorry I do not comment more! I was at Ashley's house on Saturday evening - the card you made her is BEAUTIFUL!!
LoL, I just finished entering my computer when I got a knock on my door! Now *I* have a beautiful card plus a box full of goodies!! Thank you!! (PS, it was a very fair trade in my estimation)
I enjoy your blog as is too!!!
:-) BUT I do know what you mean about blog envy. I have that every now and again myself. ;-)
Oh Misty!! I agree with what you said, God created you and you can only change so much. I believe this world NEEDS outspoken people like you (and my hubby!!) because you need to balance all us who are introverts and have a terrible time expressing ourselves (like me!!) it keeps everything even!!! I love your blog, and you do write thought provoking things, they just may not seem like it to you. Your words are gifts, you just may not know who to!!
Keep on doing exactly what you've been doing....because I like Misty just the way she is...a wonderful daughter/sister/mother!!!!
Have a great day!! :)
