Friend Makin Monday!


This meme looked like a lot of fun to do.   This is whatKasey wrote:

What kind of friends would we be if we didn't confide our deepest darkest secrets with each other? My sister made the comment the other day that from my blog I sound like I have it all together. Well, do I have news for you!: I am so not!

So we are suppose to spill our guts!  I can relate to what Kasey says, some of my friends think I have it all together, totally NOT!  I can be downright a mess and most of the time are!

1.  My house is usually a mess.  I hate this but I'm being honest.  I have not mastered being a homemaker at all despite my desire to do so!  I have read and  tried EVERY plan and method I can get my hands on but you actually have to implement them to have them work.  Imagine that!

2.  I'm not organized at all, although I'm always striving.

3.  My kids are not perfect by any stretch!  I'm blessed because they are good kids and I do work very hard on character and training, sometimes though I get the impression that other moms think they are perfect and like all,  we are sinners saved by ONLY HIS grace!  We mess up a lot! 

4.  I have a terrible temper.  It is something God has really convicted me in and I'm working hard on it.  People do not believe me when I mention my temper and in some ways that makes me sad.  I want my family to see what outsiders see, it's not fair to them that they get one thing and others get something else.  So this is the year I am committed to changing that.  I'm doing a pretty good job, but I will say it is not easy to change our shortcomings.

5.  I do things at last minute!

6.  I'm embarrased by how messy my minivan is!

Well I guess that is enough of being brutually honest today!  Join Kasey for Friend Making Monday!

I'm sure God is happy to help you work on your temper! We've all got a little bit in there somewhere! :)

Happy FMM!

Oh Becca, it sounds like we have so much in common. I'm not a good housekeeper either and my temper can get away from me!

Thanks for your honesty! Happy FMM!

I will admit that I missed out on the organizational gene. I like to think of my house as organized chaos. :) Great list by the way very honest thanks for sharing.

We as Moms need more posts like this! Thank you for being honest. I have so many friends who do what we do (home school, work, do it all) and we often look at other moms and feel quite inadequate. So it is refreshing to hear someone else admit that they don't have it all together! Thanks a lot!

This blog will just be about all the things I love-my dear hubby,-decorating, MFW, teaching and enjoying my three children, reading great books, and longing to serve Jesus in all that I do
