Then I realized...I haven't really seen the funny in a lot of things this week. It's been a bit of a tough week for me. Sometimes I just get caught up in all the "stuff" and start feeling overwhelmed and discouraged about all the things I don't have, all the things I want to do around the house but can't because it's not in the budget right now, all the fine lines I'm starting to notice on my skin, all the awesome outfits others seem to have and I don't, etc. It's all about "stuff" and I easily lose perspective on what's important.
After some introspection...I realized that I'm busy tying my happiness to my circumstances rather than my faith and if that's the case...I'll never be happy! I need to tie my happiness to the unwavering truth:
I'm so blessed to have a Savior that was willing to take on my sin and die on a cross for me
I'm so blessed to have a Savior who not only died on a cross, but rose again and is ALIVE
I'm so blessed to have a God who listens and loves and answers prayers
I'm so blessed to have a King whose mercies are new each day
We are so blessed to have this faith...
...and we are so blessed to have Cadbury eggs...
OK-obviously not in the same category, but I consider these a blessing...and God has a sense of humor, 'kay?
These are the things I need to tie my happiness to and these are the things that I'm focusing on this Easter weekend!

and candy coated eggs. duh.
i hate to be mushy, but i just have to say that it's been such a fun ride to watch you grow from "i need another pair of jeans," yethica. don't ever lose focus and you'll always be happy. so easy, right? :) the material things never last that long anyway. it's terribly disappointing.

and, just so that last comment doesn't sound condescending, yes, i do remember that i wore my mom's old sweaters in HS....
That's much better than wearing your husband's old sweatshirts now. Every day. It's sad, really! Comfortable...but sad.
