I'm cracking up at this..(not really) because one of the many points of my bible study is to change thy attitude from "ME, ME, ME" to "what can I do to glorify Him?" This, in and of itself, is extremely hard to swallow and change because: 1) I'm a girl 2) I'm the youngest of my family 3) I've been consumed with myself since birth 4) our culture sucks and is based on making ourselves #1 5) I'm really all I know and 6) even with all my self-loathing, I still matter most! SO... to take on the challenge of transforming my thoughts and actions is and will be very difficult. I laugh (or gag) at myself b/c I JUST starting blogging again and wrote my first blog this morning. I've checked this thing a dozen times and no comments. Hello??? Does your Kerri signal not register? You are supposed to know when I've contributed my thoughts to cyber world and be ready to read, enjoy, and comment at the drop of a hat! I mean, seriously people, come on!
Yeah, I'm going to be real good at this "giving up my life" thing. Perhaps I should add this to my prayers.
OK, so in other events of my life..(ha ha ha)
I'm on summer vacation. It's day three.
I have 4 sets of lists posted on my fridge describing Summer Projects, Things to eventually buy, day-by-day chores, and a day-by-day To Do list. For the most part I've stuck to it.
I also have a stack of books to read, newly painted laundry cabinets, reorganized pantry, clean clothes, organized garage, a new art station for Gralynn, and kids still in their PJs. I decided today was the day to lounge bra-less, dirty, and let the chips fall where they may (even if on my recently vacuumed couch). All the while I have managed to blog, do two days in my study, nap, and make egg salad. And yet, the stuff still to do is enormous! In the back of my mind, I have this thought...RELAX! No one is coming over. But whenever I try to relax, I feel my heart palpitations and begin to yet again obsess over my inevetable death. Do YA see why I need the Lord??!!!

I've reached the point where I don't even care if anyone's coming over. HA! The list of things to do will always be long, and the list of things I've done for myself and with my family will never be long enough.
PS It's actually all about ME. :)
Kerri, Kerri, Kerri when will you ever learn. Be yourself and do the best that you can. I think that is what God really wants from all of us. By chance did you watch Oprah yesterday? It was a re-run but while I was waddling on the treadmill all I could think about was Kerri should be watching this. It was about a girl who has cancer and who has totally embraced living for tday and the the HERE and NOW!!! It was the same episode that the professor from Carnige-Mellon University that gave his famous las lecture was on- Randu Pausch Ithink was his name.
ok I love your blogs..i just do they are so real and life giving and addicting and then u just turn them off. no more im not having kerri goodness and then u just stop so keep writing and lets play this summer. remember im good at throwing away the list- u need me for that! Love u! k
i know, right.... when have I EVER denied myself anything that i couldn't automatically have?
I'm def. not good at "dying to my self"...
