So I'm going through this period in my life where God is speaking to me about me A LOT! Some of it's good, some of it hurts but all of it is productive. One of the latest revelations I've had about me (that I tried to tell a friend about last night and got laughed at ;-) ) is that I'm a bad weather friend. Let me explain. There are some people that are fair weather friends...they are only committed to the friendship when things are good. Not me. I need to be needed. So when my friends are in drastic crisis...I'm their girl. I will be there for them at their beck and call. Which can be a good thing but only if it's kept in balance and see, balance has never been one of my strong points. I'm an extremist. Whatever I do whether good or bad I do to the extreme. So when said friend is in crisis I commit myself to the point where I don't have to deal with what's going on in my life because I'm so wrapped up in theirs. And that is not healthy! So I'm working on making some positive goals for MY life. Where do I want to see myself in 6 months? Not sure exactly how to answer that yet but I'm listening to the One who does. He's got this.
In other news it is 6 days until the election and I am freaking out a little bit! When Daddy ran for State Representative I wanted to win bad...but for kinda selfish reasons. I worked HARD on his campaign and well, he was my daddy. But this campaign is different. This one matters in ways that I don't think we can even fully realize yet. A very prominent lawyer in Houston sent out a memo supporting my dad and calling his election the second most important election in the state. This is why...
Right now the SBOE is stacked 8-7 with the liberals being the majority. When my dad wins (said in faith!) the tide will turn and the conservatives will be back in control. Just this morning Matthew D. Saber, the man that Huckabee is interviewing, came out in support of Daddy and that is a huge blessing. So, this election is not only important to my family and my children but to children all over our country. I shudder to think of the direction of education in America if Godless liberal people are in control. A young impressionable mind being filled with misinformation is a tragedy. I was taught when I was young that God has the whole world in his hands and that is where my peace comes. We are working hard and praying hard and the rest is in His hands.
